This song gained a lot of popularity after it was featured in the 1986 movie '9½ Weeks' starring Kim Bassinger & Mickey Rourke. In the movie, Bassinger's character does a striptease for Rourke's character to the song. That scene is also featured in the official music video for the song (it cuts back & forth from Cocker to the movie).
Absolutely love Joe. Got to see him in concert during an awful thunderstorm. Venue was outside but did have a covered pavilion for the higher priced tickets and since some people skipped the concert because of the weather and everyone got under the pavilion. He just sang away. This song was in the movie, The Full Monty, which is hilarious
This was used in the film "Full Monty" but sung by Sir Tom Jones. 6 guys on stage, ages ranges from 30ish to 50ish. Some slim, some not so! Stripping to this song. Absolutely loved the movie, hilarious in parts, quite sad in others. Both fabulous versions.🔥❤🎙🎵
Real music from real musicians! Back in the day (70s) we used to say Joe Cocker was a spazz. John Belushi imitated him (right beside Mr. Cocker) on SNL. Church people would say he was filled with the Holy Ghost.
I love Randy Newman. (Not the Gary Newman who sang 'Cars' in the '80s.) BTW, it's clear in his music and lyrics that he likes people, Humble and isn't into hatred. He sang about the possibility of COVID at least 20 years before it was a thing.
This song appears on Randy Newman's 1972 album, Sail Away. It is a nearly forgotten masterpiece, filled with Newman's wry and sardonic observations of human frailty. He is a master songwriter and lyricist. You should give the whole album a listen, and savor every song.
I do think that you should make it to where we can see the video better. I know that I can go watch it but just like you can see the video when you're watching it, I think that we should be able to see it too. I think that getting to watch Joe's just is amazing
You should probably watch the movie 9 and 1/2 weeks with Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke. That song was in that movie, certainly prior to being used in The Full Monty. I think that will bring that song title into full context for you without any ambiguity. And Joe Cocker was an absolute jewel, musical jewel.
Soundtrack to the movie 9 1/2 weeks. A classic, and though he wasn't the original, he made this song his with his voice and style. Oh, and it's probably the most popular song for strippers 😂😂😂😂
Patti Labelle and Joe cocker do a duet of patties song, you are so beautiful and it truly is a beautiful duet! They are definitely two different people but nonetheless it's beautiful!
Hi from Australia, I have a request for you Jimmy Barnes and Archie Roach " we could be gone" Archie Roach is first nations people as white people of Australia haven't treated terribly in the past and still today. Please I'm sure you'll enjoy also Jimmy Barnes is my favourite.
In the movie The Full Monty, 5 o 6 out of work male friends ages 30-60 decided they were going to make money in a one night show being male strippers. It's a great British movie. Came out around 1998. So their practicing and drama of the unemployment line comes into play. Also they don't tell their wives until just before the show. So this song is the closing act. They leave their hats on but not on their heads. haha. Then throw the hats in the air. They had a sold out show for their one night performance....... women only proving that real men are not just 25 year old models. And made a lot of money.
I kinda' think you are over thinking this song. Just watch the video from the movie "9 1/2 Weeks" and I think you'll understand what's going on here. Very, very, sensual clips from the movie.
C’mon man you got the lyrics wrong. He says throw your arms up in the air (not hands) and now shake em’. Also, most women wear undergarments, bra, a slip, panties, nylons, etc. So, when he says take off your dress and you automatically envision her as stark naked; well we all imagine things differently. Anyways, I’m glad you enjoyed the song. He was a great performer with a great voice,
Joe Cocker I love his voice brilliant singer 👏👏👏👏 ❤

Actually I thought the video was tastefully done.
I always remember it from "The Full Monty"
Joe Cocker is a simple man with simple desires.
Kudos to the sax player, simply stunning! That's what's missing from today's music...among other things.
This song was originally written and performed by Randy Newman. But I like the way Joe Cocker does it best
He also wrote 'Mama told me not to come'.
Had the pleasure of seeing him live in 89 ,soooo good
The world was a better place when Joe was singing!!! And moving!
Joe Cocker has always been my main man....
This song was used in the movie "The Full Monty" -- it subverts expectations perfectly.
My Favorite Joe Cocker song
Love this song. Thank you
Yes, MrLBoyd, he's telling her to do jazz hands.
Love Joe ❤️
I LOVE THIS SONG AND JOE COCKER!!
Just a great dirty groove, with Joe tearing it up. What's not to love?
I had this song played at my wedding when I removed my wife's garter ..
! Guests loved it! 😍
Perfect. 😊😊
Love Joe C. His soulful delivery is infectious
Great song. Great reaction.
All 3 versions I have heard are great, Tom Jones, Randy Newman's original, and Joe Cocker. Joe's is the best!!
Always reminds me of that funny scene at the end of the UK comedy “ the full monty”
I was hoping someone would react to this! Very sensual 🥰
Ahh another one of my favorites from him..
I just love this live version! Thank you!
He just loves her so much, everything about her, every part of her.
You are such a gentleman - it's charming! 😁. You belong in the UK
Got to love Joe so soulful
I interpret this song as , leave your hat on because you ain’t staying
Joe Cocker doesn't do innuendo😉, just a joyful ode to one of life's greatest pleasures.
Joe was a unique performer, just brilliant.
Absolutely love Joe. Got to see him in concert during an awful thunderstorm. Venue was outside but did have a covered pavilion for the higher priced tickets and since some people skipped the concert because of the weather and everyone got under the pavilion. He just sang away. This song was in the movie, The Full Monty, which is hilarious
Lol! Great reaction! I really like your new background. It's much less distracting.
My Wife gets the message when I play this song !
his band in this tour was killer
Great reaction! Unchain My Heart should be next!
Shake your money makers 😉
This song now reminds me Of the Full Monty (Disney+ is doing a reboot LOL)
Glad this video introduced me to the live version, bro at the end was cooking.
This was used in the film "Full Monty" but sung by Sir Tom Jones. 6 guys on stage, ages ranges from 30ish to 50ish. Some slim, some not so! Stripping to this song. Absolutely loved the movie, hilarious in parts, quite sad in others. Both fabulous versions.🔥❤🎙🎵
This song was featured in the 80s sultry movie 9 1/2 weeks lol
And the Full Monty!!
Great song! Classic.
You have to hear I can feel the river live.
Real music from real musicians! Back in the day (70s) we used to say Joe Cocker was a spazz. John Belushi imitated him (right beside Mr. Cocker) on SNL.
Church people would say he was filled with the Holy Ghost.
Everyone’s favorite “doing it” song
Check out the scene in “9 1/2 Weeks” featuring this song. It will all make sense.
Bro, you know what he's telling her to shake. We all know what he's telling her to shake. He just wants to see all of her.
Joe's cool! Cheers for that mate 😎 👌
Tom Jones did this song also. Written by Randy Newman he has scored 9 Disney-Pixar movies and have been nominated 22 Academy Awards.
I love Randy Newman. (Not the Gary Newman who sang 'Cars' in the '80s.) BTW, it's clear in his music and lyrics that he likes people, Humble and isn't into hatred. He sang about the possibility of COVID at least 20 years before it was a thing.
Still gets me movin n groovin
I’ve been married to a 6’4” real cowboy for 40 years and I may have said this phrase a few times. He never takes it off for much anyway!! Hahaha
From the movie Nine and half Weeks
'The Full Monty'
I love that you use words that are not vulgar it show good home training, tell your mom and dad I said that
Should listen to joe cocker sing,came in thru the bathroom window. Now there,s a badass song
You are low key hilarious.
This song appears on Randy Newman's 1972 album, Sail Away. It is a nearly forgotten masterpiece, filled with Newman's wry and sardonic observations of human frailty. He is a master songwriter and lyricist. You should give the whole album a listen, and savor every song.
This movie is from 9 and 1/2 weeks and was one, shall we say, sexy movie.
I do think that you should make it to where we can see the video better. I know that I can go watch it but just like you can see the video when you're watching it, I think that we should be able to see it too. I think that getting to watch Joe's just is amazing
I 'suppose' you've looked up the video with Kim dancing to this .... 😉
This is such a sexy song. I love it!
I see you got your new set up bro super nice. Happy for you
You should probably watch the movie 9 and 1/2 weeks with Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke. That song was in that movie, certainly prior to being used in The Full Monty. I think that will bring that song title into full context for you without any ambiguity.
And Joe Cocker was an absolute jewel, musical jewel.
Cover of a Randy Newman song, which is an amazing song writer.
myself... I like when they leave their. 👠 heels on ...😆.
So happy you did the live version, the video is good but it's a bit hokey. Joe's the man.
Soundtrack to the movie 9 1/2 weeks. A classic, and though he wasn't the original, he made this song his with his voice and style.
Oh, and it's probably the most popular song for strippers 😂😂😂😂
2:09 - How literally you say this is killing me lmao.
Your face is sometimes so deadpan, it's hilarious!
You have to see the video from 9 and half weeks with Kim bassinger to truly enjoy this
Patti Labelle and Joe cocker do a duet of patties song, you are so beautiful and it truly is a beautiful duet! They are definitely two different people but nonetheless it's beautiful!
He ain't asking for much, LOL. He said she can leave her hat on.
Randy Newmn song who does it like an audition.
Hi from Australia, I have a request for you Jimmy Barnes and Archie Roach " we could be gone" Archie Roach is first nations people as white people of Australia haven't treated terribly in the past and still today. Please I'm sure you'll enjoy also Jimmy Barnes is my favourite.
Written by musical great, Randy Newman.
MrBoyd ... YES ... the lyrics are instructional. .Don't take the time to take off your hat.. c'mon NOW!

They had a sold out show for their one night performance....... women only proving that real men are not just 25 year old models. And made a lot of money.
Feels like a strippers song. I heard it in THE Full Monte. Good song
React to the letter and whiter Shade of Pale
Kim Bassinger & Mickey Rourke "9 1/2 Weeks"
You should watch the video!
Tom Jones also sang a version of this song.
Great version but Michael Grimm did it too and I love that version. Also anything by Grimm is so soulfully satisfying to listen to
Testy brothers Rain....ever heard it
Sorry Testsky brothers 😂
It wasn't really meant to be "dirty."
It is actually very tongue in cheek-iness, if you will
Ive found ya recently. I like big variety. Seems likr ya have stuff to add. Do everything dude
Please react to Come a little bit closer by Jay and the Americans
Day 49 of asking MrLBOYD to react to "Randy buys a bookshelf on Gumtree"
My exact routine before and after a bath. I should probably close the drapes to keep people from talkin'? FYI don't shower with a hat on.
Should have ended with Leave your hat on and shake thoroughly
You cannot critisize a song that you haven't heard before, just by frequent interuptions, to form an opinion you need to hear it in full.
Perhaps you don't understand the idea behind the reactions
I kinda' think you are over thinking this song. Just watch the video from the movie "9 1/2 Weeks" and I think you'll understand what's going on here. Very, very, sensual clips from the movie.
You should do more early Randy Newman
Joe Cocker is amazing, as always, but the sax player can get it.
C’mon man you got the lyrics wrong. He says throw your arms up in the air (not hands) and now shake em’.
Also, most women wear undergarments, bra, a slip, panties, nylons, etc.
So, when he says take off your dress and you automatically envision her as stark naked; well we all imagine things differently.
Anyways, I’m glad you enjoyed the song. He was a great performer with a great voice,
Love your Honest Reactions could you Please React to Billy Lord " SECTION 318" TY
Next try Cocker She came in through the bathroom window!
In case you don't get out to ...ahem... gentlemen's clubs much, this has become quite the stripper's anthem.
Tom Jones does a great version
It is you who does not understand
I think it was a song from a movie.
