What started as a simple one-liner ended up sparking the idea behind a No. 1 smash. It was the Bellamy Brothers who took that unexpected spark and turned it into an unforgettable country rock hit, transforming a sentence from a vintage TV game show into a chart-topping anthem.
Howard Bellamy said, "I have to give credit for that line to Groucho Marx. Of course you've heard of the Marx Brothers. Groucho used to have a show on TV when we were growing up, which I hate to even admit how long ago that was. But he had a show called You Bet Your Life."

Howard continued, "He'd have guests on, and different quiz questions. 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."
In a story published by the website Alabama Live, Howard added that the song's popularity came with some unexpected, but welcome, perks. "I can remember it was first a hit on radio and as we were on tour it was a great time in life. We had to judge all these beautiful body contests that particular year. It's a very fond memory."
