No female performer before or present even comes close to this women for her badass ,sultry performance . The exceptional ones always seem to leave us too early . RIP to a true rock chick .
All these old Divinyls classics... they were gold when they came out, and, 30+ years later, they still sound just as good. Music this good never gets old.
It is very difficult to choose my favourite Divinyls song. In 1988 I bought the 12" vinyl of " Back to the Wall " It's not only my fave Divinyls' song it's in my Top 100 songs of all time. RIP Chrissie Amphlett the Queen of Aussie Rock.
Thank you nightmare on elm street part 4 for giving us this gem. No internet back then. We had to wait for credits to roll. This is my jam still in 2021.
I still cant believe she's gone... restrained fury. absolutely brilliant. she would have been 56 today happy birthday to one of the best ladies of rock and roll
I touch myself was their main hit... Also outstanding is Pleasure and Pain and Love School... She was a real pro and sorely missed in today's music world
@@edarzoomanian9745it was, but their earlier music from 1980 onwards was a really distinctive sound and style. Rawer emotional delivery. A couple of earlier hits - apart from this song - are Boys in Town, and Science Fiction. I highly recommend you check those out ❤
What a Lady, What a Front Girl, What a Performer , What a Band , Sadly, What a LOSS. Missing Chrissy. What a Aussie Legend and am i ThankFul to have grown up In Her Era and to have seen her Perform Numerous Times, Missing Chrissy. :(
We are living in desperate times These are desperate times my dear There's no way out of here There's no way out my dear I've been holding back all my tears Just so the pressure don't show Like a time bomb ticking away I might blow up some day Don't push don't shove Better watch what you do When my back's to the wall I might do anything at all When my back's to the wall I might take any chance at all When my back's to the wall I might do anything You've got the upper hand Well I've got nothing to lose When I'm trapped in a corner like this I might light a fuse Don't push me too far You better watch what you do Don't push me too far You better run for your life I've got nothing to lose I might light a fuse Yeah yeah Don't come any closer
Karl Wilde yep same here too!!!! First time i was like huh??? I need that song and of course the only way was to wait for the end of the movie to fins out as there was no internet....aaaah the 80's.
The loss of Chrissy has left an enormous void in the Aussie music scene. Chrissy was unrivalled in the days when we were spoilt for choice music-wise, no one came close. With such a unique front woman, everything about Divinyls was original, outrageous and sadly, irreplaceable. RIP Chrissy.
Been a huge fan of Chrissy/divinyls since highschool. i too shed a tear more than some since i too lost my partner to the big C. You wont be forgotten Chrissy :) your music will live on. We love you sweetie...
RIP Chrissy. I'm an American that loves Aussie classics!! Peace and love from North Carolina! A nightmare on Elm street 4 💙 Love you Chrissy Rest in peace xoxo
G'day, Brucie!! Love & respect from Australia. Chrissy was Oz's reigning Rock Queen. There was never any other act like her. Totally original - and she didn't give a fk what her detractors threw at her. Her passing is not only a loss to Australia, but to the entire world. Thank-you for honouring her, mate. 👍👍👍
Even though I grew up in Sydney; ironically, the only time I saw the Divinyls live was at the Roxy in Hollywood in 1988. I’ve never seen anything like it, the crowd was mesmerised. Chrissy prowled the stage like a punk pop lioness, I remember the crowd throwing money at her.
How current are these lyrics in 2020 We are living in desperate times These are desperate times my dear There's no way out of here There's no way out my dear
For those aware of the big picture the times have been desperate for many decades-it's just now the tyranny is effecting the general population. What u call "desperate times" is what oppressed minorities(indigenous, the lower class etc)have lived with all their lives. The super rich have made trillions from this plandemic-and will make even more from ineffective/poisonous vaccines(does anyone even realise that VACCINES DO NOT WORK ON VIRUS'S? Common cold is a virus-no vaccine, same with SARS, MERS, Ebola....these are all virus's with no effective vaccine....hello?)) If u don't educate yourself on the REAL situation, u will be a victim of it.
@@surfinmuso37 Yeah they do. Dunning & Kruger as well as the power of TH-cam has gifted you with insight so focused on hubris and confirmation bias that your sophistry - no sorry you're not that intelligent - that should read *speciousness* is rather pedestrian compared to the other conspiracy theories on social media. I hate the liberal party too but surely you could mix your facts, opinions, unique special insights into something a little more sophisticated than mud pies made by a 2yo; you could at least try for a scone mix. It's a long time before you'll be a 'chef' if ever. I mean really, I've heard more convincing conspiracy theories from farm animals. Try harder! F -
@@ThePaulv12 Lol-oh the irony. Your whole diatribe is the result of your own confirmation bias....and quite obvious "delusions of grandeur" little man.
Seen her at the old Morley Tavern in Perth in the late 80's I was only a Teenager back then and she gave me a stare I just about came in my pants. RIP Chrissy x
and one of the best female rock singers of all times! she had that unique, smoky, sultry, rockin' voice that most didnt , and still dont have,,,also the Aussie accent added to her original sound,,,R.I.P. Chrissy (god we miss U)
She makes so many of todays female artists seem insipid and bland, no matter how hard they try to be controversial. What a performer! Heaven has one hell of a band lineup.
I was so lucky to see them heaps in my teens & early 20s in Sydney. She is one of my favourite front women ever, & definitely a role model of a strong, creative woman.
With all respect, Chrissy is more than just pretty, she's a rock goddess, pure talent, she gave it her all, heart and soul . You should get to know more about her, now that you have discovered her.
Have to thank the crew of A Nightmare On Elm St 4 choosing great songs for the movie like this, else i'd of probably never of heard it, just makes you think of summer with the shot of the convertable golf pulling up with this playing. Love it :0)
Brett Gundry .......actually, Chrissy was older than is documented, she was born in ‘55 and was 58 when she passed, still far too young. I absolutely loved Divinyls, saw them live often and they never failed to deliver a blistering gig. I highly doubt we’ll ever see the likes of Christina again, she was quite simply, unique. My biggest regret is that this fabulous band was best-known outside Australia for (imo, the far weaker) “I Touch Myself” rather than the incredible early material that made Divinyls truly special. Then the pathetic amount of views - not only here but on most Divinyls sites, seems to reinforce the fact that unfortunately, that’s the song they’ll be remembered for when they had infinitely superior material.
unfortunately U are correct,,we’ll never see the likes of Christina again,,so sad,,,at least there was us, the fortunate ones who did get to enjoy their, lets not forget Mark, music; I turned alot of ppl onto Divinyls music, and smile when I think about, my goodness, that was back in the early 1980's, wow! 🙃😎
Best era the 80s . Divynls one of my favourites . Cristella Their best song I reckon. Chrissie's voice is amazing. Divinyls,,, Sublime,, RIP. Beautiful Girl....
Best Song Ever...... Kicks ass ...Chrissie Rocks as always. I imagine her giving them a helluva time in heaven.... RIP u amazing legend of Auzzie Rock.
I was a time bomb ticking away and nearly lost my life, but I asked for help and was rebooted and rejuvenated. I can truly identify with this song. Bless Chrissy she gave us her gift of voice,talent and beauty in her music and life. .RIP forever.
Always my favourite Divinyls song. I hear Smiths, INXS, etc. So atmospheric. Haunting. Boys In Town is for the dance floor. Back To The Wall is a drive through wastelands.
The dynamic Divinyls were a favourite in the 80s and still remain to this day. Chrissy Amphlett's voice is addictive , I swear. A band of very skilled musicians.
No female performer before or present even comes close to this women for her badass ,sultry performance . The exceptional ones always seem to leave us too early . RIP to a true rock chick .
McEntee's guitar work is magnificent
the dude is a legend. hands down
All these old Divinyls classics... they were gold when they came out, and, 30+ years later, they still sound just as good. Music this good never gets old.
She had a fabulous voice and a great stage presence
Did play the part so magnificently,was awesome and us boys sweat,rip Chrissie
Thanks Chrissy for the Music you are still Sorley missed RIP .
Her voice was just incredible. Rest in heavenly peace.
The perfect song for these dystopian times
Indeed :(
True, though this song is also about a woman who's had enough.
Yes LGBT
…WXYZ ??@@fulgenzio89
We are living in dystopian times my dear
It is very difficult to choose my favourite Divinyls song.
In 1988 I bought the 12" vinyl of " Back to the Wall "
It's not only my fave Divinyls' song it's in my Top 100 songs of all time.
RIP Chrissie Amphlett the Queen of Aussie Rock.
I have the same 12", and you're correct.
There has never been another female artist like you Chrissy in Australia. You are an original. You will be sorely missed. Luv ya. XXX OOO
Man I wish I was alive during this era.. i really do
This song reflects how I am feeling now with regards to living in this hell whole of a world we are living in.
Hear you there brother.
It’s a story of a woman being taped in an alley. Her back is to the wall so she doesn’t get it in her behind.
What is it about this world … there have been far far worse times … even though times can subjectively be hellish …
Eww. Sad @@advanceaustralia386
Eww about the be assault against a wall. Gross.
Thank you nightmare on elm street part 4 for giving us this gem. No internet back then. We had to wait for credits to roll. This is my jam still in 2021.
000⁰
Thank you for making me not feel so silly for finding it there either, 10 seconds of song is all i needed to hunt it down
Go listen to "Elsie". You're welcome. Don't let Chrissy's memory die.
@@susanglenn5498 Im just going to assume you mean Tuesday Knight, and i doooo, RUNNING FROM THISSSSS NIGHTMAREEE🤠

No way you could mistake her voice for any other.What a performer.You are well and truly missed Chrissy.
Yup! The voice alone gave it away! Easy to search!
Chrissy Amphlett was one of a kind. - this bands early stuff is epic.
restrained fury. absolutely brilliant.

Truly a classic, Its on the Nightmare On Elm Street 4 soundtrack. This song is in my top 5 all time fave songs ever
"We're living in desperate times...." Perfect soundtrack for current times.
I Love this group. She had such a unique voice. RIP in Heaven Chrissy

Me too.
A beautiful lady that stood out
McEntee' guitar work is just exquisite in this song, and Chrissy is the icing on the cake
Chrissy was/is one of the greatest. So sad she was cut short. Think of what art we could have gotten from her.
We are living in desperate times
These are desperate times my dear
There's no way out of here
There's no way out my dear
I've been holding back all my tears
Just so the pressure don't show
Like a time bomb ticking away
I might blow up some day
Don't push don't shove
Better watch what you do
When my back's to the wall
I might do anything at all
When my back's to the wall
I might take any chance at all
When my back's to the wall
I might do anything
You've got the upper hand
Well I've got nothing to lose
When I'm trapped in a corner like this
I might light a fuse
Don't push me too far
You better watch what you do
Don't push me too far
You better run for your life
I've got nothing to lose
I might light a fuse
Yeah yeah
Don't come any closer
appropriate 2020 theme song
Go women!
Most complete song they wrote, for mine. Just Beautiful.
Cheers Freddy for introducing me to this Legend
Karl Wilde same bruah

Possibly the most underrated Aussie band. Their early stuff has stood the test of time. It's still fresh.
I love Chrissy and always will. Look at the girl from "the Preatures". She does Chrissy's song's so good.
Chrissy amphlet lives forever in all of us xx
Beautifully said. There will never be another Aussie rock queen like her.

Back to the wall was one of the best performances of the night when I saw the band live

One of my favorite songs on the movie 😍🎥📽️🎞️🎬 🍿 & soundtrack
I saw them in NYC at the Ritz for this tour around 1988 and they were awesome! Always been one of my favorite bands. R.I.P. Chrissy..
A true talent. Thank you for being a part of our lives. RIP xxx
RIP Chrissy..our supreme Aussie rock Goddess..gone much too soon
Why the hell did this not rate in America?
Probably because they were fixated on glorified cover bands like Van Halen and a 100 similar others.
This woman was awesome, unique voice .
Seen her at the old Morley Tavern in Perth in the late 80's I was only a Teenager back then and she gave me a stare I just about came in my pants. RIP Chrissy x

Lucky bastard.
How good were those days though! Bands $10 bux entry, $2 schooners..

Always my favourite Divinyls song. I hear Smiths, INXS, etc. So atmospheric. Haunting. Boys In Town is for the dance floor. Back To The Wall is a drive through wastelands.
This is what today's music should be...
this woman / divinyls / will stay in my musical heart forever / what a loss to us all ," you better run for your life " hope you are at peace chrissy
saw these guys three times, fantastic band live!!!!
Haven't heard this song in 20 years,,,I have this on cassette somewhere around here….

Such a doll baby....her story is so sad...miss her. R.I.P you sweet angel.
what a one in a million, in tears watching this, rip chrissie
I miss her so much
I was lucky to see the Divinyls in 1992 in concert at the State Theatre in Sydney.....
The dynamic Divinyls were a favourite in the 80s and still remain to this day. Chrissy Amphlett's voice is addictive , I swear. A band of very skilled musicians.
Is this their best? Understated and at their very best, Chrissy one of the truly World great Female Rock Artists, RIP.
Yeah I saw the Divinyls back 35 or so years ago live at Bombay Rock in Melbourne - fond memories of a great singer and band
