"Bodies" is a Sex Pistols song about abortion from the 1977 album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. It has a large amount of profanity for the time, with one couplet largely composed of the word "fuck".

The song was written by the entire band. It is mostly about a fan named Pauline, who was (as the song states) from Birmingham. She had been in a mental institution, where she had apparently got pregnant from one of the male nurses. When she was released, she travelled to London, where she became a punk rock fan. She had several abortions. According to legend, she showed up once at John Lydon's door wearing nothing but a clear plastic bag and holding an aborted fetus in a plastic bag as well.

However, what is known from Lydon's autobiography, is that she would tell Lydon about becoming pregnant and then having abortions and describing them in detail to him. This affected Lydon enough to write the song. Most of the band also had experiences with Pauline, but have spoken less about it.

With its repeated mentions of "I'm not an animal," of "Mummy," and of a dying "baby," the song is widely interpreted as being anti-abortion . In 2006, National Review magazine put the song at #8 on its list of the "50 Greatest Conservative Rock songs", citing a pro-life message . Yet both Steve Jones and John Lydon have stated in interviews that the song reflects a pro-choice view in its lurid description of an illicit abortion . In 2000, John Lydon went on the record as pro-choice , supporting the choice of a 13 year old French girl to use the morning after pill without her parents' knowledge.

However, in an interview, Lydon is quoted as identifying himself as neither anti- nor pro-abortion . However, he believes the decision belongs to the pregnant woman. In the same interview, Lydon speaks of the song in relation to his mother's miscarriage and how one should not misconstrue that incident as being anti-abortion . This may indicate the song's lyrics describe that situation to some degree.

The song has been covered by grunge-rock band Veruca Salt, Velvet Revolver, and LA band Peppermint Creeps.

"Bodies" is a 2001 single by heavy metal band Drowning Pool from their debut album Sinner. "Bodies" has an anthemic, repetitive chorus of "Let the bodies hit the floor!" The song is Drowning Pool's most popular single and has been featured in various films, TV programs, and advertising since its release.

Drowning Pool frontman Dave Williams stated during an interview on Uranium that the song is about being in a mosh pit but that it has clearly been misinterpreted. Much like the song's radio success, the "Bodies" music video found significant airplay on various music channels in 2001. It has the band performing in what appears to be a mental institution, with Williams screaming the lyrics into the ear of a man strapped to a chair. Clips of the video are featured in the title animation for the music program Uranium.

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, radio stations owned by media conglomerate Clear Channel voluntarily refused to play "Bodies," or several other similarly popular songs.

This song was also in a mixed cd released by Footwear company Jorneys along with the song "Start the commotion" by the wiseguys.

Bodies is a song by Little Birdy from their second album, Hollywood. The song was the second single released from the album, and the fifth in the bands history. The single was released on January 23, 2007. "Bodies" is yet to debut in the Aria Top 50.

The single included four B-sides, including; "Beware Wolf", a cover of a song by a fellow Perth band Gyroscope, and a remix of "Hollywood", done by another Perth band The Panda Band.
