I'm so happy to see someone react to this INCREDIBLE song/video! I miss Chrissie. It's frustrating that so many people dismiss the Divinyls as just a one-hit wonder because of "I Touch Myself." They released a string of albums filled with brilliant classic rock music. And this particular selection is one of the greatest ever.
@@gregjetnikoff7124 They were. The funny thing is that think that I Touch Myself is my lest favorite song by them. It is not a terrible song, I just like their other songs more.
Next: your reaction to Science Fiction by the Divinyls. We need more foreigners reacting to Australian punk-rock/post-punk/new wave from the '80s in general, though. There's a wealth of overlooked material.
Chrissy was an amazing artist, unfortunately not only did she suffer with MS but later on she got cancer & couldn’t get radiation treatment because of MS, sadly she passed away in 2013 at the age of 53 in New York, one consolation she passed away peacefully in her sleep
I saw them in concert back in the day ...very exciting band to be in the presence of ..she had such a strong amazing presence,an intelligent lovely lady in person.great music.
Thanks hun for showcasing this great Australian band. Chrissy Amphlett was our iconic rock chick. Her unique style and beauty, and their amazing songs will never be forgotten. Actually, they're in my playlist. More songs; Pleasure and pain Only lonely Sleeping beauty And... I dare you to react to I touch myself 😜
This song came out in the early 80s and was, at that time, very controversial because of it said that girls could "have fun" too, and also that it showed the consequences bestowed by society of that behaviour. Today it is called "slut shaming" and has been the bane of many females who are still not viewed the same as males. A guy has several partners and is deemed a legend or a hero or a stud; while a woman is accused of being a slut and morally degenerate. This attitude is slowly changing (about as quickly as a glacier moves); and the sooner it does the better. Let people have fun and give each other pleasure for f**k sake. Divinyls...and Chrissy...Aussie pub rock legends!
I can't think of any other band that has almost every song on there albums worth playing . but not only did they put out some of the best music but very down to earth as per when they opened for Aerosmith in Northern Ca. I had on a self made Divinyls T-shirt and got invited back stage we talked music and that made my year. I Miss them
Audiences feared her as much as they admired her. And did they ever admire her. Christina Amphlett was a force of nature in a heavily male dominated industry and more than held her own. Legend! Her autobiography "Pleasure And Pain" is a must read.
Damn this took me back, I recall seeing The Divinyls as a support act to Cold Chisel when they first had this hit. Sadly she passed with MS after a very long battle with Breast cancer and is missed terribly in Australia RIP Chrissy. Keep Safe Keep Strong KSO
Great early 80’s Aussie music - Science Fiction’ is another great track. So many bands that were fringe in the Australian music scene that was dominated by overseas acts. Midnight Oil, The Triffids, The Go-Betweens, Hunters & Collectors, The Church, Australian Crawl, so many others...love your work.
This is the lead-in track on their Australian compilation "Make You Happy 1981-1993". The tag line is "Hits, Rarities & Essential Moments of an Incendiary Australian Band'. It's over 75 minutes long but still wasn't enough for me so I made another compilation to complement it. The 1st song I heard by them is 'Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart' which was in the film "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". You'd like the song 'Temperamental' as well. They also did covers of 'Wild Thing' and 'Love Is the Drug' which you could contrast with the original by Roxy Music.
Some say "Science Fiction" is their best song, but this is my favourite The late Chrissy Amphlett used to dress as a school girl in response to Angus Young's (AC/DC) school boy outfit In this song she sings "Get me out of here" as "Get me out of ear"
This is a great Divinyls song to react to. I love this band but, I hate that most folks only know them for "I touch myself" If you really want to see how great Christina Amphlett and the Divinyls were, then check out the live video of "Elsie". It will blow you away.
So glad you're doing more Divinyls! You did Sleeping Beauty and Science Fiction for me in the past. Chrissie Amphlett was a force of nature... a very powerful performer!
@Sincerely, K.S.O. 3:08 Lyrics, you were pretty close, just a couple misheard or hard to interpret/accent difference issues: "I am through with hanging around With all the boys in town Now I want a man around Get me out of here I am a just red brassiere to all the boys in town Put this bus in top gear get me out of here I must have been desperate I MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY LOW I must have been desperate I must have been pretty low I was always driving home all the boys in town But they never telephoned get me out of here I think THEY'RE pretty phony You're not like the rest You've heard of matrimony They've all flunked the test I must have been desperate I must of been pretty low I must have been desperate I must have been pretty slow Oh I'm tired oh I'm wired Oh I'm tired, oh I'm wired ahhh Too much too young, too much too young Too much too young, too much too young Get me out of here, get me out of here Get me out of here, get me out of here Get me out of here, get me out of here Get me out of here"

I saw them in concert. Their songs are so good. Yes, she had that mike holder. r.i.p. Chrissie
@@thancrow AMAZING band live!

Awesome Aussie band. Chrissy had her own unique style. R.I.P. Chrissy.
Chrissy Amphlett the Queen of Australian rock.
Notice that she is wearing a school girl uniform?
That’s a hats off to Angus Young of AC/DC
Australian music finally! PLEASE go more down this rabbit hole. We've got so much great stuff to explore.
Queen of Aussie Rock, love this song !
This is my favorite Divinyls song! Back in the day I saw a great concert - The Divinyls opened for The Cult!
I love this one way better. It’s definitely an aussie classic. She’s awesome live as well, the same stage presence.
Ah, miss the Divinyls. Chrissie's a legend in Australia.
This great Australian artist never was fully appreciated before dying of breast cancer concurrently with MS. Gone WAY to soon.
Next: your reaction to Science Fiction by the Divinyls. We need more foreigners reacting to Australian punk-rock/post-punk/new wave from the '80s in general, though. There's a wealth of overlooked material.
My Dad's best friend from High School played Guitar for Real Life (famous for the song 'Send Me An Angel').
@@trenchy1990 oh wow, and that's a great song
Chrissy was an amazing artist, unfortunately not only did she suffer with MS but later on she got cancer & couldn’t get radiation treatment because of MS, sadly she passed away in 2013 at the age of 53 in New York, one consolation she passed away peacefully in her sleep

pleasure and pain,... I'm Jealous,... Human on the Inside,....I'm On Your Side...all classics
Back to the Wall Is also an amazing song
Hard to Believe she’s the same singer in “I Touch Myself.” She’s so much more confident in the latter. She was amazing all around.
Thanks hun for showcasing this great Australian band. Chrissy Amphlett was our iconic rock chick. Her unique style and beauty, and their amazing songs will never be forgotten. Actually, they're in my playlist. More songs;
Pleasure and pain
Only lonely
Sleeping beauty
And... I dare you to react to I touch myself 😜
i remember there famous song of Divinyls I touch My self
Chrissy Amplett live, was one of the most dynamic and uncompromising, rock frontwomen of all time. There will never be another. R.I.P.
One of the first videos I watched on MTV back when they played, you know, MUSIC VIDEOS. RIP Christina Amphlett (1959-2013).

Divinyls...and Chrissy...Aussie pub rock legends!
Great song and band, havent seen this in awhile, feels like yesterday i just saw it on mtv back when they showed videos
Her name is Chrissy Amphlette, UNFORTUNATELY she died a while back. R.I.P. Chrissy 🌱🌹🌱
Love this one.
There is a goldmine of Aussie classics to react to. Try Take long line by The Angels
I can't think of any other band that has almost every song on there albums worth playing . but not only did they put out some of the best music but very down to earth as per when they opened for Aerosmith in Northern Ca.

It's definitely worth checking out some live footage of this band. On stage they really were something to behold
Great AUSSIE ROCK RIGHT THERE👍🤘🤘🤘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Love this song and band.

Hello KSO- their song “I touch myself” is a must- their biggest hit- huge hit - 🤞🏼 💝💖
Aussie Music! ✊🇦🇺🦘
The Divinyls are one of the best of all the Aussie bands, along with ACDC. They had a lot of really great songs with great melodies.
And INXS, of course.
In my opinion THE greatest Australian rock song EVER!
Chrissie as such a role model growing up in Australia
She unfortunately passed. A decade ago. A true powerhouse of Oz Rock!
This is the lead-in track on their Australian compilation "Make You Happy 1981-1993". The tag line is "Hits, Rarities & Essential Moments of an Incendiary Australian Band'.

Some say "Science Fiction" is their best song, but this is my favourite
The late Chrissy Amphlett used to dress as a school girl in response to Angus Young's (AC/DC) school boy outfit
In this song she sings "Get me out of here" as "Get me out of ear"
Seen them a couple of times at the Mansfield tavern Bris in the 80's, she certainly had stage presence
So jealous. I was too young to go to gigs in the 1980's.
I was 19 and went to a random pub, the Sefton Hotel in Sydney, and to my surprise...a fairly new act was playing. It was 1981
This is a great Divinyls song to react to. I love this band but, I hate that most folks only know them for "I touch myself" If you really want to see how great Christina Amphlett and the Divinyls were, then check out the live video of "Elsie". It will blow you away.
RIP Chrissie
There are many excellent songs by The Divinyls including Jealous and Punxie.
Great Aussie band R.I.P Chrissie 🇭🇲🐨🇭🇲
So glad you're doing more Divinyls! You did Sleeping Beauty and Science Fiction for me in the past. Chrissie Amphlett was a force of nature... a very powerful performer!
"Essential" is an essential album for all to have in their collection.. One of the great rock voices and band.
Australias greatest performer. With the possible exceptions of Angus Young or Amy from Amyl and the Sniffers
rock like joan jett and Pat Benatar
Absolute Best 😍😍😍😍
Oingo Boingo's Weird Science would be nice. Chrissy is so talented.
Next, listen to Divinyls Elsie live
Please react to "I Touch Myself".
@Sincerely, K.S.O. 3:08 Lyrics, you were pretty close, just a couple misheard or hard to interpret/accent difference issues:
"I am through with hanging around
With all the boys in town
Now I want a man around
Get me out of here
I am a just red brassiere to all the boys in town
Put this bus in top gear get me out of here
I must have been desperate I MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY LOW
I must have been desperate I must have been pretty low
I was always driving home all the boys in town
But they never telephoned get me out of here
I think THEY'RE pretty phony
You're not like the rest
You've heard of matrimony
They've all flunked the test
I must have been desperate I must of been pretty low
I must have been desperate I must have been pretty slow
Oh I'm tired oh I'm wired
Oh I'm tired, oh I'm wired ahhh
Too much too young, too much too young
Too much too young, too much too young
Get me out of here, get me out of here
Get me out of here, get me out of here
Get me out of here, get me out of here
Get me out of here"
React to their songs I touch myself & I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore please
She has done 'I Touch Myself' already, but it is now blocked on TH-cam.
I wonder why she added flipping her lip at 1:44, if only there was an interview about that
Good point. I interpret it to be referring to herself being 'pretty slow', which just comes before it. i.e. she was as naive as a baby.
Songs about Gangbangs......
Now you know 🤟
I Touch Myself, Human On The Inside, and Pleasure And Pain are a some other amazing songs by them. ❤️
