I don't mind admitting that this artist, song, and video were intoxicating to this young boy back in the day. Still is, for that matter. She's got a great voice and isn't holding anything back with those lyrics. Nothing is quite as alluring as a woman that knows what she wants and isn't afraid to tell you.
She is saying wants sex from a man she was just straight forward with the lyrics she needs attention to satisfy her needs. This was a controversial song back then I remember the FM radio stations played this song a lot I was just a kid back then
@@sukie584 So is he but what he is talking was long before Chrissie died. It was a scene in the movie where Austin sung this song to beat the fembots. Apparently Chrissie liked the scene and even gave Mike Myers permission to use the song
The Divinyls did an interview way back when and was asked how they came to write this song and Christine said the band was in a restaurant and there were people in another booth near them just, staring and listening to them. So they said, let's give them something to listen to and that's when they came up with the lyrics to this song.
She was really involved in musical theater back in Australia. She died of breast cancer in 2013 with complications from multiple sclerosis. Due to her condition she was unable to receive cancer treatments.
It's not like nobody knows about masturbation, everyone does it. I was accused of it when I was a kid, kind of fcuked me up for a while. It wasn't until I fell in to a group of friends that joked about it, they saw the look on my face and just let me know, it's ok everyone does it. I think kids should know it's ok.
I love how Brad and Lex are looking all freaked out and Bert is just grooving along. 😂 BTW this was featured on Austin Powers first movie and it’s played when he took out the Fem Bots. ☮️
I Touch Myself Project Amphlett's family and friends and Cancer Council NSW launched the breast cancer awareness project "I Touch Myself" in 2014, as a tribute to Amphlett. Part of the project included a cover of "I Touch Myself" and features 10 female Australian artists (Olivia Newton John, Megan Washington, Sarah McLeod, Katie Noonan, Sarah Blasko, Suze DeMarchi, Deborah Conway, Kate Ceberano, Little Pattie and Connie Mitchell). The song was released in June 2014 and peaked at number 72 on the ARIA charts.[32] Cancer Council NSW stated, "Through this campaign we are encouraging women to get to know their breasts better, to know what is normal for them and to participate in breast screening if they’re in the right age range."
The Divinyls put out so much incredible rock music that it's a shame most people only know them by this song and consider them "one-hit wonders." Some of their greatest songs include "Boys In Town", "Take A Chance", "Punxsie", "In My Life", "Only Lonely", "Victoria", and dozens more.
Yeah, I actually thought this was tasteful & classy, if maybe a little eyebrow-raising. But people growing up with stuff from the last 20 years...? This should be considered, by comparison, pretty tame!
You really must check out more Divinyls. They’ve got a huge back catalogue of great hits - Boys in Town, Science Fiction, Elsie, Pleasure and Pain. And if you want a really obsessive psycho love song, listen to I’m Jealous. Chrissie Amphlett was a powerhouse, no holds barred performer, and a legend of the Aussie rock scene. She’s sadly missed.
This song is pretty "in your face", but is a great track. The whole album is actually really good. Christine Aphlet was kinda like that all the time on stage. The band were really really good though back when. Sadly, Christine died a few years ago, and I was never able to see them live (they were supposed to be really good live).
It did, ahem, "straddle" the fence of what was considered acceptable, especially to hear on the radio or watch on MTV. There were a lot of attempts to censor music and TV in the 80s and 90s, but there was always an artist who pushed the boundaries! I always believed, if this song came out 10 years earlier (this was a hit in 1991-ish), it would've been completely banned.
Well one of the first song that express directly female sexuality without shame. Still shocking for a lot of people today lol. Love the uncomfortable look on both guys face lol.
Hear! hear! guys - "Americans", eh? :p Though I guess it IS a "Reaction" channel - doesn't always mean it will be an emotionally mature, wise or especially informed or witty one! ;)
RIP Chrissy. This song was used for breast cancer campaign to encourage women to do self examination for lumps and other changes. Chrissy died of cancer
Let's be honest, other than virgins, who hasn't touched themselves thinking about someone they love or are crushing on when that person isn't there? She didn't swear or use profane language. The video was kind of typical for the time with the scantily clad women. WAP is much more vulgar and in your face.
Y'all's facial expressions were priceless! In the beginning Brad's eyebrows were raised and Bert's were drawn together, then came the shot of her bent over and y'all flipped expressions. Made me laugh out loud 🤣
This is the first reaction I've seen where Brad only presses "pause" once and looked very happy all the way through. Then he tries to recover by calling it weird. Very funny. Let's have another one 😂
Our wonderful Chrissie RiP! I worked on a number of shows with Divinyls in the 80's, great live band awesome act! This song was used in a national Breast Cancer Awareness project. Yes we sang that 'back in the day'! Cheers and thanks from Australia!
My wife dedicated that song to Me when We were kids ( 25 years before We got together … yeah, She was stalking Me that long ) on the local radio station live on the air .
This song punches you I. The face with how blunt it is. I was listening to this one on the radio when it came out and my mom came in blushed red from head to toe. I got in trouble for this one.
Good to see you discovered our Chrissie. She was an Aussie gem. RIP Chrissie ❤ She donated all future royalties for this song to breast cancer awareness.
At that time there was songs like this one that will break the boundaries, many of us thought the same way you did when it first came out, was shocking to many.
This song... about 20 years ago, my wife had inherited a property in Minnesota and was cleaning it up. We lived in southern Iowa at the time. I hadn't seen her for a week and made the long drive up to see her and her progress. Sometime early in the drive this song came on the radio and it sparked my imagination and lots of anticipation. When I finally arrived, around 11 PM, I tried to initiate some role play based around this song. She responded by saying that this was the filthiest song she had ever heard and always had hated it and she proceeded to berate me for a couple hours about how I could imagine such things in regards to her. She had never taken such a puritanical stance on anything like this before. It was so bad that I ended up leaving and driving back home. Didn't see her again for a couple of weeks, and I was forbidden to discuss the topic ever since. Ruined the song for me.
It’s natural y’all- 🤫🤷🏻♀️ lol for real! The more you “know” yourself.. the more your significant other will/can.. And be much appreciative- just facts in my honest opinion- plus the proceeds going to cancer issues is the definite plus! 💖💙
Seen her concert many times, she was amazing. Every concert i went to of the Divinyls she always started this song with saying she has a secret. As soon as she said that everyone would scream out I Touch Myself. She could also be quiet cheeky on stage, especially if you left your handbag on stage lol
Classic! Yes, this was a big radio hit sometime around 1990. I loved the look on Lex's face the first time the chorus hit that iconic line. Brad's expression for the whole song was priceless!
I saw them at the US Festival in the eighties. Berlin played the same day and played a song called Sex (I'm a...). You should give that one a listen. Terri Nunn did some interesting things while she performed the song.
This was the song back in the day!! Everybody loved it! Everybody would sing it. And it was from the early 90's not the 80's. Christina Amphlett, the lead singer, sadly died of breast cancer and multiple sclerosis in 2013.
I was on deployment in the Persian Gulf when this came out. My girlfriend at the time would send me recorded tapes, updates from back home and I remember this song always playing in the background. Definitely an attention grabber.
very true, after Cardi B did 'that song' at the Oscars last year, I think she lost a ton of listeners, when they listened to the lyrics. At least Christina and the Divynyls had a definite song
When I was a kid in school there was a jukebox in the cafeteria, they were foolish enough to have this song on it. At the end of lunch 200 people would be packed waiting to leave this massive cafeteria and I knew how to crack into the jukebox so every lunch. I would crack into the back of it turn it up full blast get the song going 99 times and then all of the kids were crowd in front of it so the teachers couldn’t shut it off and it would blast all way down the hallways all the way to the first floor of the high school. good times 90’s
For the record, guys, even for a song with such a direct sexual hook, when she sings "I want you to love me" it means "I want you to fuck me." This is part of a a longstanding tradition of songwriting euphemisms. Back in the '40s, '50s, it was lyrics like "and when we finally 'fall in love'," that absolutely implied: "when we finally have sex." That way it could be broadcast over the radio and TV. Kids didn't necessarily get the meaning, but adults certainly did. Hell, even Ed Sullivan prevented the Rolling Stones from singing "Let's spend the Night Together," demanding they sing "Let's spend some time together," and when Mick Jagger rolled his eyes while singing that line, Ed (unsuccessfully) banned them from his show.
I always have to do my best Austin Powers impression when I hear this song. My neighbors probably are wishing I would close my curtains right now. Yeah baby.
Five years before the Divynls released "I touch myselt" (1990), Samantha Fox released "Touch Me" in 1985. Apparently a lot of touching going on in the mid to late 80's .
Chrissy Amphlett was a talented singer, and this is a really talented band. My only real complaint is this is definitely more of a pop song then a lot of their other material, and I kinda hate that of all their excellent music, that THIS is the one people think of. If you want to see what this band is really about, and how amazing Chrissy was you MUST see them live. Watch Divinyls Live 1984 - Elsie...for one of the best performances. Chrissy is incredible in this performance....she was so much much more then the touch myself pop song crap. But hey that sells right?
@@seanlynch1185 I could care less what it's a about, for my point. It's very much a pop song, and they did much better music and songs that fewer people know. I just think it's a shame most people don't now their other stuff, and Chrissy singing "Elsie" was absolutely one of the most brilliant performances.
Haha you guys are cute - so easily shocked😂. This is Chrissy being mainstream and radio friendly - looks like y’all would run and hide if you ever saw her really loosen up!😂😂😂
I love this song because she goes straight to the subject, no fussing about with sexual innuendo! I think the song is straight forth and not psycho! There are a lot of songs about self pleasure like, Cyndi Lauper’s, She Bop, but they are just not so straight forward! You guys seem a little prudish especially in the WAP generation! 😂😂😂😂
"Is that what people were going around singing back in the day?" Oh yes. It was crazy popular for a short time and the video certainly didn't hurt. Nobody got bent out of shape over it and when you compare it to what's considered racy or sexy today, it's downright classy.
Expression on Brad's face.....priceless. Definitely need to do "In your Room" by the bangles, see that cheeky look on Susannah Hoff's face wen she says "I wonder what youre gonna do to me"....
Brad: I hope this doesn't randomly get stuck in my head and I just start singing it.. Me: I thought the same thing as a 10 year old boy when this song was new and getting all sorts of time on the radio and MTV.. it will.. you will.. for the rest of your life every once and a while out of nowhere.. even in public places.. smh
they pretty much were when it was released, the band had trouble getting airplay in some markets and even had issues with having concerts stopped in the middle during this song. the first guise of "PC" (a second movement of censorship similar to the PMRC/satanic panic of the 80s) was around this time - politically it was called "family values" this round. there was a lot of pushback from musicians and comedians at the time, with rap and metal being the most vocal musical genres - see anything to do with 2 live crew in florida, ice t's "freedom of speech... just watch what you say" ep, metallica's song "eye of the beholder", anthrax's "starting' up a posse", or tool's "hush". for examples of how things were at the time.
The song was written by her and her long time partner the man with the blonde hair playing the guitar in the video, it's not as creepy as you might think. She set more young boys hearts on fire 🔥 with that one pelvic twist and thrust mid song than any other music artist I could think of in that time. She did it while still not being butt naked. Stunningly beautiful and naturally beautiful. Incredibly gifted song writer and Mark was a great music writer great combo.
In this episode of Brad & Lex & Berto, enquiring minds want to know whats going on with this one. Berto says "self love" and goes back to a controlled off and on "metronome bop" as Big Bro Brad labels it strange before throwing lil Bro under the proverbial bus but gives the song a bit of a "side to side sway" with Lex in the middle providing a soft "frontal bop".
Another great Australian band! One of the bands I was in was lucky enough to be the support act for Divinyls they were great nice and friendly. Chrissie Amplett who has since passed away had a very provocative stage show!
Christine Amphlett was the absolute queen of Australian rock in the late '70s through the '80s. She was an in your face, no apologies rocker. This was the biggest hit they had outside of Australia. Sadly, she died of breast cancer several years ago. You may not like it, but this was an 80s classic playing in every club all over the US. I know. I was there.

So does MS.
@HemlockRidge Indeed. My Mother-in- law had MS. Diagnosed at age 21. It's a tough disease.
That was a shame when I heard that she passed.
Especially at just 53...

Oh yes. Some won't tell you they do but the ones that do so are very explicit about it.
I can remember when this song came, I was in my early 20s, I loved it then and I still think it's an awesome song. She had a great voice.
Brad and his brother looked pretty intoxicated…..lol.
@@sobmaz very, who wouldn't

There's not a man in the world who doesn't love this song.

@@ramblerdave1339 Surely you get yourself off in Rock World?
@@iankearns774 No, there's better worlds for that! 🤪

The fact that Brad could hold that shocked/surprised look for 95% of the song was hilarious 😂😂😂
Igree 😂😂🎉😅❤
he was loving it
This song ended up being used in a Breast Cancer awareness ad here in Australia. RIP Chrissy.
And then in Austin Powers in the US lol
We’re too Victorian still in the States in many ways.. good on Australia for honoring Chrissy that way.
@@sukie584 We've certainly done similar things for other celebs.

This was a big radio hit. I love their earlier music too.
The look on Brad’s face the whole time was hilarious
His eyes were as wide as I’ve ever seen them…..
Yeah, he was almost blushing! Has this generation come full circle, and are now embarrassed by talking about sex?
Brad nearly lost his eyebrows! 😂
F-ing priceless🤣🤣🤣

Don't forget Sleeping Beauty! My fave... ;)
Science fiction is another great song
"Pleasure and Pain" "Only Lonely"
"Back To The Wall"
Boys in Town is awesome
“Ain’t gonna eat out my heart!!! “. Pure awesomeness!!!
It crazy the heat she got from this song considering what we watch now.
Yeah, I actually thought this was tasteful & classy, if maybe a little eyebrow-raising. But people growing up with stuff from the last 20 years...? This should be considered, by comparison, pretty tame!
@@screwyootube1 totally agree!
You really must check out more Divinyls. They’ve got a huge back catalogue of great hits - Boys in Town, Science Fiction, Elsie, Pleasure and Pain.

Siren is really under rated as a song. Boys in Town is one of the best Aus songs of the 80s.
Yeah and this is the worst song to be introduced to the brilliance of The Divinyls.
You forgot 'Back to the Wall'.
Yeah, I recall she died from multiple sclerosis if I’m not badly mistaken. I was 17 or 18 when this came out so I certainly remember it! 😂
THIS THIS...Listen to more DIVINYLS!

I did get to see them live. It was a great concert. Chrissie was an amazing singer and performer. R.i.p. Chrissie
Chrissy Amphlett on vocals. Their 2nd hit in the US was "Pleasure And Pain"
I respect Christine much more than Shania Twain. There, I said it.

They are only feeling awkward because she is right there. If it were just them you would see a different response..probably a high five or two.
RIP Chrissy Amphlett.
This Song was a BIG Hit in US, reaching #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 on May ‘91.
I don't think i've ever seen Brads eyes open to that extent for a whole video lol!!!!
RIP Chrissy. This song was used for breast cancer campaign to encourage women to do self examination for lumps and other changes. Chrissy died of cancer
Brad’s facial expressions during this one are hilarious.
Boys in Town is a classic rock song. They from Australia and back in the day had an ac/dc type vibe. The singer even wore a schoolgirl uniform.
Chrissy Amphlett, what a terrific voice she had. Such a big collection of music the Divinyls have and mostly unknown outside of Australia.
RIP Christine. She sure drew the short straw on medical issues.
Let's be honest, other than virgins, who hasn't touched themselves thinking about someone they love or are crushing on when that person isn't there? She didn't swear or use profane language. The video was kind of typical for the time with the scantily clad women. WAP is much more vulgar and in your face.
Racy songs have been around a long time, and the 80s had their share. Sugar Walls comes immediately to mind.

Brad's face and eye glances at his brother was priceless!
This was a huge #1 song all over the world! One of the best rock female performers of all time. Another great song and video…Pleasure and Pain!
This is the first reaction I've seen where Brad only presses "pause" once and looked very happy all the way through. Then he tries to recover by calling it weird. Very funny. Let's have another one 😂
That’s the way she has always been. She’s kind of crazy, but she’s Australian, so it’s okay. One of my favorite bands.

My only real complaint is this is definitely more of a pop song then a lot of their other material, and I kinda hate that of all their excellent music, that THIS is the one people think of. If you want to see what this band is really about, and how amazing Chrissy was you MUST see them live. Watch Divinyls Live 1984 - Elsie...for one of the best performances. Chrissy is incredible in this performance....she was so much much more then the touch myself pop song crap. But hey that sells right?
Some "slut shamming" comments from Brad and Lex. This song was about Feminism,
@@seanlynch1185 I could care less what it's a about, for my point. It's very much a pop song, and they did much better music and songs that fewer people know. I just think it's a shame most people don't now their other stuff, and Chrissy singing "Elsie" was absolutely one of the most brilliant performances.
Well, that is why they call it a pop song. It's popular. :)
It's an excellent POP song. They had a lot of Pop songs
It is a good pop song, and Chrissy was hot, but she also was so much better in other songs.
I can never hear this tune without being reminded of the "climax" of Austen Powers, LOL!
Good ol 90’s music.. 80s and 90s were a fun time
Brad's face is priceless the whole time 😂
Haha you guys are cute - so easily shocked😂.
This is Chrissy being mainstream and radio friendly - looks like y’all would run and hide if you ever saw her really loosen up!😂😂😂
The bass line is addicting!
The look on Brads face through the whole song had me crying!
This song is a personal favorite to play around friends to make everything weird. It's a banger.
I highly recommend Don't Touch Me There, by The Tubes. A song that says what it wants.
OMG, you guys had me cracking up on this one! Lex: "I honestly doooo". 🤣😂!
"Is this a relatable song for you?" LMAO
Gotta give it to lil Bro. On the spot he says? Self Love? Nailed it.
I love this song because she goes straight to the subject, no fussing about with sexual innuendo! I think the song is straight forth and not psycho! There are a lot of songs about self pleasure like, Cyndi Lauper’s, She Bop, but they are just not so straight forward! You guys seem a little prudish especially in the WAP generation! 😂😂😂😂
That's what I was thinking
"Is that what people were going around singing back in the day?" Oh yes. It was crazy popular for a short time and the video certainly didn't hurt. Nobody got bent out of shape over it and when you compare it to what's considered racy or sexy today, it's downright classy.
Expression on Brad's face.....priceless. Definitely need to do "In your Room" by the bangles, see that cheeky look on Susannah Hoff's face wen she says "I wonder what youre gonna do to me"....
The look on Brads face is priceless...lol.
Brad: I hope this doesn't randomly get stuck in my head and I just start singing it..
Me: I thought the same thing as a 10 year old boy when this song was new and getting all sorts of time on the radio and MTV.. it will.. you will.. for the rest of your life every once and a while out of nowhere.. even in public places.. smh
It's no more psycho than WAP. Let's be real. Haha
This song came out 40 years before WAP
Brad, you looked very alert during this reaction, the eyebrows don’t lie.
Funny...the lyrics would be seen as being "too explicit" nowadays...😀
they pretty much were when it was released, the band had trouble getting airplay in some markets and even had issues with having concerts stopped in the middle during this song. the first guise of "PC" (a second movement of censorship similar to the PMRC/satanic panic of the 80s) was around this time - politically it was called "family values" this round. there was a lot of pushback from musicians and comedians at the time, with rap and metal being the most vocal musical genres - see anything to do with 2 live crew in florida, ice t's "freedom of speech... just watch what you say" ep, metallica's song "eye of the beholder", anthrax's "starting' up a posse", or tool's "hush". for examples of how things were at the time.
@@antichristian74 I know...those were the days!!!
Divinyls are an Australian band. We aren’t as ‘prudish’ as your typical American listener. Even in the 80s 🤷🏻♀️
What are you talking about, It was a huge hit in the U.S.
@@allisterfiend_2112 talking about the reaction. You know this was a reaction vid my dude right ?
The song was written by her and her long time partner the man with the blonde hair playing the guitar in the video, it's not as creepy as you might think.
She set more young boys hearts on fire 🔥 with that one pelvic twist and thrust mid song than any other music artist I could think of in that time. She did it while still not being butt naked. Stunningly beautiful and naturally beautiful. Incredibly gifted song writer and Mark was a great music writer great combo.
The most expression I've seen on Brad's face to date, haha!
In this episode of Brad & Lex & Berto, enquiring minds want to know whats going on with this one. Berto says "self love" and goes back to a controlled off and on "metronome bop" as Big Bro Brad labels it strange before throwing lil Bro under the proverbial bus but gives the song a bit of a "side to side sway" with Lex in the middle providing a soft "frontal bop".
Everyone always remembers this one, but my fave from the Divinyls is, "Make Out Alright". Reminded me of Ronnie Spector. R.I.P. to both of them...
Another great Australian band! One of the bands I was in was lucky enough to be the support act for Divinyls they were great nice and friendly. Chrissie Amplett who has since passed away had a very provocative stage show!
Christine Amphlett was the absolute queen of Australian rock in the late '70s through the '80s. She was an in your face, no apologies rocker. This was the biggest hit they had outside of Australia. Sadly, she died of breast cancer several years ago. You may not like it, but this was an 80s classic playing in every club all over the US. I know. I was there.
Lex: She’s very flexible.
Bero: That’s interesting. I think it’s about self-love.😂
The reaction..hahahhahah..we used to listen to this in high school when it came out in 1990 😳
This song was a huge hit back then. It was in heavy rotation on MTV.
In 1999 this my Senior Class song as a joke. All the senior girls danced to it. Weird time the 90s
You should have seen the 80’s! Actually, the 80’s and 90’s are tied together by MUSIC VIDEOS. We didn’t have that in the 70’s.
OMG the look on Brads face was priceless hahaha- great reactions!!!
I love when this song is on the radio in the office and people be singing along to it and then go very quiet just as it gets to the chorus... ha!
What a great woman she was, R.I.P
This was their biggest hit in America, but they were huge in their home country of Australia. Rest in Peace, Christina Amphlett.
