.....Songs That Need Our Love. Part 2



What can you say about the band Divinyls?

They were an Australian band with a crazy female lead singer, Chrissy Amphlett, who often wore school girl uniforms and torn fishnets on stage. She jumped around and stalked the stage like a woman possessed, looking for her next kill victim. But she could sing.

They scored a few hits, among them Pleasure & Pain and their biggest hit, I Touch Myself (which made a lot of guys stop and take notice). In later years Chrissy would take up a more fashionable onstage look and became the Queen of Australian Rock. Sadly Chrissy passed away in 2013 of breast cancer. The Cancer Council in Australia launched a campaign in her honor in 2014, called the I Touch Myself Project, it encourages women to get breast exams and perform self checks.


But take a look at this early video, Boys In Town, and see the powerhouse in action......its ok to be a bit afraid.

  1. This appears to be an ultimate "Morning or Shame" song!
    I am crying from laughing at 1:20 though, who can be afraid after that?!?
