Chrissy Amphlett had such a unique voice and great delivery. Cancer took her 9 years ago. I remember when this came out it was scandalous, and she ate it up.

[@3DJapan]

Yes, Cancer and MS. Very sad. As someone with MS I relate. Thankfully my case is pretty minor.

[@petestaint8312]

Has it been 9 yrs already??? Sorely missed.

[@drew65sep]

Wow, I'd forgotten about that. We music fans have lost far too many artists in the last decade or so...sad.

Chrissie Amphlett was an amazing singer (and very sexy!) Unfortunately she died from breast cancer but before she had passed she allowed this song to be used to support breast self examination/prevention. RIP, Chrissie.

Asia, BJ… The Divinyls were one of Australia’s finest ever bands & sadly, Chrissie Amphlett, the lead singer, is no longer with us as she passed away at the age of just 54.

Chrissy was the ultimate Rock Chick, that's why we are still talking about her today. And of course they had some catchy and powerful songs too!! But Chrissy was so much more than just a rock persona, she also toured in the stage production of The Boy From OZ about Peter Allen. She played his Mother Inlaw, Hollywood legend Judy Garland. Very big shoes to fill, and she nailed it!!

[@forevalearning]

R.I.P. Chrissy Amphlett. Another Australian legend gone too soon. Loved the uniqueness of your voice. Pleasure and Pain was another great song from the Divinyls.

I grew up listening to the divinyls. Love Christie Amphletts voice. Their best song is Boys in Town. A must to listen to.

[@mikefetterman6782]

This came out the spring of 1991. It was a hit and a bit risqué for the time. It was not played on some radio stations.

[@paulrogers4483]

From Song Facts...... This is clearly about masturbation, but there's more to it. In our interview with Billy Steinberg, he said: "What I like about the song is that in spite of the fact that the chorus kind of boldly says that, the verse was much more sort of poetic and kind of meaningful. It says, 'I love myself, I want you to love me, when I feel down I want you above me, I search myself, I want you to find me, I forget myself, I want you to remind me.' Those words I think are very strong and it's not an obvious start to finish jack off song. I like playing with words, and whether it's 'Like a Virgin' or 'I Touch Myself,' I like taking phrases or words that are sort of untapped and find a way to write something meaningful and that has a rebelliousness because really that's what rock's all about. Talking 'bout my generation, you know." I like that!!! :)

[@michaelwebster8389]

You should do some other Divinyls, they were such a great band.

[@mirroredworld]

LOVE what you both do!!!! Great insights and good times!!! I grew up in the disco clubs of Miami in the 80s. Lots going on in those places back then and no one cared- LOL!!! One of my favorite disco songs from that time is Coming out of Hiding by Pamela Stanley. I can still see the colored strobe lights, fog machines and the fan dancers wearing only leather chaps(exposed backsides) with their huge red and gold fans....so many cocktails ago - LOL!!!

[@bostonvair]

And yes, this was a big radio hit back in the day (sometime around 1990). Truly brilliant!

[@JES408]

[@galenstone9097]

Love this song. Chrissy was fire back in the day.

[@jayrtee]

Thanks again for another great reaction! IMHO, this song was meant more as an emotional/spiritual thing than a physical thing. One way of looking at this is that every time she thinks of the person she is so in love with, it puts her more in touch with herself. So just by thinking of that person, she touches herself, if that makes any sense at all. And, that's how they spun it to the regulatory committee to get the song radio airplay at all.

[@jackiegoodspeed1849]

Oh my gosh. Thank you. Makes sense. But.... most took it the other way. Lol

[@Mainecoonlady.]

[@laudanum669]

When this song/album came out their record company Virgin records had a huge Billboard put up on the Sunset Strip. It featured a very provocative picture of Chrissy with the bands name. It helped sell thousands of records.

[@henryvandeventer2457]

I always loved this song, but it and "Bad Touch" by Bloodhound Gang have a special place in my life. I was a slightly dodgy club in London when I saw a gorgeous girl walk in, we made eye contact and looked away. For the next hour or so we'd keep making eye contact and when this song came up, I took my shot. Walked over and asked her to dance and it was one heck of a dance. Then Bad Touch came on and our fates were sealed. 22 years later we're still together and married for the last 20.

Chrissy Amphlett was one the best rock front person's, man or woman. She could sound like an angel and the devil all in one verse. Along with a great guitar player, Mark McAfee, they wrote many unique and heavy rock songs. I loved the Divinyls and miss them due to the untimely death of Chrissy. Due to the subject matter of this song many people didn't listen to more of this band. Those that knew of the Divinyls before this song knew they flat out rocked. Look up the 1984 lIve performance of ELSIE. It's amazing!!
