YALL ARE WILD!| FIRST TIME HEARING Divinyls - I Touch Myself REACTION

[@BadlndsBob]

This wasn't an obscure, unknown song; this was a big Top 40 hit played on stations across the nation.

[@FaytLinegod]

Yep. The song was No. 1 in Australia and No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

It was huge. And the video was massively popular. I'm not sure they appreciate how big MTV was back then -- and this was from that period when the channel was still showing actual music videos.

[@houseofsledge6891]

I was in high school when this song came out and it was such a breath of fresh air - we had had so much male-driven "sexy" rock, to have her say "I love myself and I want you to love me" and follow that up by unapologetically singing the title was such a female empowerment declaration in the landscape of music at that time. And, by your reactions, I can see that it remains as potent now as then. I respect this song so much because she is owning all of herself and doesn't have a moment to waste on shame. I recommend follow ups from Divinyls as "Science Fiction," "Pleasure and Pain," and "Boys in Town." RIP Chrissy Amphlett - lost and gone far too soon.

[@jasonszabo9203]

As an Aussie, don't let this kitschy song distract you from the greatness that is The Divinyls and the strong, confident and sexy Chrissie Amphlett. RIP to a true rock goddess. Please check out Pleasure And Pain, Sleeping Beauty, Boys In Town, Science Fiction. They're a great band.

The way Amber got lost in the song when the second verse hit...she gets it. For me, this song really gives you the perspective of how love/lust/sex are all entangled together for a woman.

[@lbd-po7cl]

Chrissy Amphlett was a true tour de force of Aussie music, and is greatly missed. She sadly died of breast cancer 10 years ago, and was unable to get chemo therapy due to also suffering from MS. she and her husband, though, agreed this song should be used to raise awareness of breast cancer, and has been used to that end by the Breast Cancer Council, with all proceeds from the song going towards cancer research. So, despite Jay’s embarrassment, this song has most likely actually saved lives by being used to promote the early detection of breast cancer. While I Touch Myself is probably The Divinyls’ best known song, and was a worldwide hit, they do have even better ones. Boys In Town, Science Fiction, Pleasure and Pain, I’m Jealous, and Elsie are all amazingly great songs (Elsie best experienced with a live performance). I certainly hope you explore Chrissy and The Divinyls further, despite Jay’s blushes!

For your information. Chrissy Amphlet was the cousin of Patricia Amphlet, aka Little Patty. Little Patty was huge in Australia in the 1960s. She was the youngest performer, at 17 to perform for troops in Vietnam. She was rushed off stage as Viet Cong troops attacked Long Tan only a few kilometres away. Chrissy Amphlet was seen as the bad girl of Australian rock but in private life she was a reserved and shy person. Check out Pleasure and Pain, one of the Divinyls' best.

🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thank you for definitely making me smile today!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. And I adore your rationalization!!! , Regardless it's a catchy song!!! Love you two, you make my day!!! ❤❤❤

[@TheMeerkat2323]

I love this song, R.I.P Chrissy. Every time I hear this song all I can do is think of it being played in Austin Powers: International man of mystery, they certainly picked the right song for the scene it was in

[@pedrocucaracha]

Kids, back on the day, this song was so scandalous, many radio stations tried to ban it from airwaves. I LOVED it from the first time I heard it, and I’m planning to put in in my band’s set list for the next round, haha! I love your reaction to it. Yeah, we had our wild side too….

[@geoffwright3692]

The expression of Jay's face, especially on "I get down on my knees, I'll do anything for you"........Priceless! That being said, RIP to Chrissie Amphlett.

[@sherrihayward4500]

My era yet again, the 80s were epic!! I want Level 42 Something about you 😁😁😁😁

[@kentonwatts504]

this was........... solid gold, pure platinum reaction! Easily moved into a top ten of your reactions. It's been to long since I teared up LAUGHING....... I...I...I could not catch my breath....literally! I ❤ you two. Favorite reaction channel by miles!!!!!!!

[@josephmanno4514]

Amber with the droll, 'Well she made her point clear." Classic line and delivery.

[@balchana3365]

The exchange of looks at 1:53 made me smile too 😂

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

This song definitely got some stern looks and side eye from the older folks back in the day.

[@petercourtien4581]

We are called GenX. And we are here.❤

[@TheCamarosBand]

In full force!

[@reinventing50]

I had the absoulute honour of seeing The Divinyls live many times and they never disappointed. Chrissy was a legend.

[@kmf65]

Amber was digging it.....Jay was beside himself! 😂 This song was a hit in the dance club scene! Packed dance floors were had.....and we didn't keep our distance! 😏

[@sheilameyers152]

I didn’t know it meant what it meant until everybody kept telling me the true meaning😁

[@mbenoit77]

Jay's reaction was how a lot of us reacted to it at the time. 😂

[@ewrekzz7360]

This was a huge mainstream hit. It was played all over the radio, you were guaranteed to hear it at dances, it's still a hugely popular karaoke song.

[@mikeross14]

DO NOT WRITE OFF! DiVinyls Jay&Amber! This band and Chrissie Kickx serious Ass! head banging Rock and Roll! ManThis is One Great band! Chrissey has Janis voices plus that Aussie accent,screams and wildness! "Do Boys in town",then" I'm Jelous!" Brisbane expo-88 live

[@juanmoreno9562]

It's honestly a great song. Also, hats off to Randy Jackson for the Bass line!

[@cjax2000]

I have watched so many of your reactions to songs(and movies), Jay's reaction may have made this my favorite to date! As some have mentioned, the subject of "touching ones self" has been done many times before this song. It's just that this one is so blunt about the subject that catches one off guard .. and I LOVE that. As said by others, Lauper's "She Bop" (probably the biggest hit on the subject), The Vapor's "Turning Japanese" are 2 songs... but how about Jackson Browne (yes that Jackson Browne) and his song "Rosie"! They are all ore disguised in the lyrics but still in the end .. THAT is the subject!

[@veaton77]

Or they are just blatant about what they are talking about like The Radiators 'Gimme Head'. LOVE She Bop! Probably My fav Lauper song

[@andrewft31]

Or Queen’s Get Down, Make Love

[@flamencoprof]

Ann Lee - 2 Times comes within this category as well.

[@Mike_Huntt]

Green Day "Longview." And I agree with veaton77, I think "She Bop" is Cyndi Lauper's best song.

[@jimrupe9991]

Don't forget , "Dancing with myself " by Billy Idol.

[@BigJohnAUonline]

The look on Jays face in the first minute of the song, priceless. That’s good old Australian rock for y’all. The song was used for breast cancer awareness here in Australia. My fav track of the Divinyls is Pleasure and Pain, Chrissy was taken at a young age 💔

[@johnmezes9368]

Brazen and unapologetic...your introduction to the Divinyls, RSR! The reaction was great....that "hey" moment you both had...smiles all around. Yes, we got our freak on back in 1990, LOL.

[@_Some_Guy_]

Released in 1990, this is the most famous song from the classic Australian band, Divinyls. Some of their other great tunes from earlier in the 80s are *'Pleasure & Pain'* , the hard-hitting *'Boys In Town'* , and the quirky *'Science Fiction'* .

[@flatandsplat]

I love Boys In Town. An absolute classic. Pleasure and Pain really brought to light domestic abuse conversations at the time. Something very taboo in those days

[@mjsshorty1]

I love Pleasure and Pain

[@chadhoward07]

Rob: please let this be over already. Amber: loving every second.

[@64Biina]

Thanks team for putting a smile on my dial today! Whoop!! This song still gets air-play here in Australia. In fact I heard it just the other day. Your reactions.......priceless! Let the good times roll!!

[@timwarner1976]

Chrissy Amphett came from an incredible family. Her aunt ('Little Patti' Amphett) was a rock star of the 60's in Oz. Whilst doing a USO gig in Vietnam came under fire at Long Tan, not many Rock Concerts come under mortar fire. In each generation those girls were at the top of the music business. Great film made about the Battle with cuts to the concert and the band being flown out as guns blazed - 'Danger Close:the Battle of Long Tan'.

[@alleykeosheyan4779]

I always thought Chrissy was quite brave to not get her teeth fixed. I can imagine she was pressured to!

[@micahhawkins-bs9gf]

Wow. Love that flick. Gotta watch it again now.

[@jasonlogie3863]

I’ve seenThe Divinyls twice live. They where unbelievable

[@firefighterchick]

This song was turned into a public service announcement about self breast exams to honor the lead singer Chrissy Amphlet, who died of breast cancer at age 53. She also had MS and couldn't do the normal cancer treatments of the time.

[@MS-ro9dm]

That was funny. Great reaction. Guy Guys Guys, Paper Lace had two massive hits in the 70's. Great songs, great little story, Billy Don't Be a Hero and The Night Chicago Died.

[@vincentsablan732]

Wasn't "Billy, Don't Be A Hero" done by Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods"? It's been awhile, so I could be wrong...

[@MS-ro9dm]

@@vincentsablan732 Absolutely, they both had versions. You would be surprise at some of the people who have had versions of songs out at the same time, it is pretty interesting. It's like Hot Chocolate's Brother Louis and the Stories version.

[@vincentsablan732]

@@MS-ro9dm You're right. It's been about 50 years. I remember buying the 45, but I forget the specifics. Thanks 👍

[@jayweb51]

I loved the look on Jay's face, with this song; you could almost see him blush.

[@barbaracollins385]

You guys! Jordan is so embarrassed and Amber is really into it. I can't stop laughing. Think I missed the song. You guys made my day!

[@nsasupporter7557]

The lead singer died

[@sedatedape315]

Yuppers. Took 2 years to finally pull this song up...but it was worth the wait for your fantastic reactions!

[@Genna.K]

Jay - shocked.. blinking Amber - loving every minute!

[@chadenglish4169]

I laughed the entire time watching this. This song was a major hit peaking at no. 4 on the airplay chart in the early 90's. The chorus is so catchy. Jay your right you'll never forget the name of the song or band😂
