On May 19, 1979, the Bellamy Brothers earned their first country No. 1 hit with the song If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me. Written by David Bellamy, the song is a rather brazen lyrical come-on, set to easygoing country-rock music that shows off the brothers familial harmonies and laissez-faire pedal steel.
As Howard Bellamy tells SongFacts, the song s title comes courtesy of comedian Groucho Marx, of the Marx Brothers: He had a show called
You Bet Your Life. He d have guests on, and different quiz questions, Bellamy recalls. And Groucho smoked a cigar – that tells you how long ago it was, he smoked cigars on a TV show. He d use that line occasionally, he d say, If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me? and shake his cigar, and kind of raise his eyebrows.
