  • Angus and Chrissie you should do a track together. Something along the lines of being a juvenile delinquents with their school uniforms and all ;p

  • Great song. What's with the extensive backlighting in this video?

  • fukin brilliant!

  • This song is as old as me.. still think it's a goldie :))

  • 1 person obviously doesn't appreciate good music..

  • Ahhh ... the memories of so many gigs in a past life.

  • Ahh Chrissy...such a beautiful song...wish you would show YOUR FACE more in this video...maybe it'd have more views ;)

  • Chrissy amphlette has to be one coolest rock godess of all time' my heart goes out to her and her family from one oz to another godbless you.

  • What can you say? Originality and quality stands the test of time.

  • I adore The Divinyls ..... so unique ..... so powerful . under appreciated.

  • the first genuine hard rock aussie chick..great band and timeless music

  • I have commented on this video before but I just can't help but come back to it time after time just to see Chrissy getting in to it. Just love seeing that great mop of hair of hers thrashing about like there no tomorrow. What a great girl it's a shame there isn't more like her.

  • Have you ever had this song playing reallly loud in the car and pulled up on Dandonong Road, mouthed the words at a random and seen a lady smile at you over her dark glasses? Fuck I was awe struck when she winked at me.

  • Oz rock legends!!!

  • Saw them at Ballina RSL in 1984, stood right underneath Chrissy at the front of the stage and her sweat was dripping all over us after a hard days surfing!! Fabulous stuff

  •  ?

    For the healing of one's lonely

  • i don't know much about the band, but I've read that one of the former members name was Bjarne Ohlin. I'm from Denmark in Europe and that name is kind of danish or swedish. I guess that he his scandinavian ancestry.

  • @ruderkonge1976 O' Wagner, T.Harris of the 'Harris Wagner' at ones 'de-Pou' !!!!

  • i am of dis-bone-full, i am of.. "oh babe"!!

  • where do you start with a band like this ... I could say this is one of my favourite songs but what Divinyls isn't? I can honestly say I never appreciated them as much when I was a teen as I do now that I am 40. Sure I loved them back then but I never truely understand how genuinely great they are until I grew up.

  • Love this band. Chrissy is the ultimate rock chick. Kissed my husband to be for the first time at a divinyls concert at the playroom on the gold coast in the early 80's. RIP baby xxx

  • I love aussie music. Greetings from the otherside of the globe Denmark :-)

  • I love this song!! Released the year I was born <3 <3 <3

  • I LOVE YOU CHRISSY!!!!!!!! LOVE DIVINYLS!!!!!!

  • Love this song! Play it loud everytime. Only time I will ever be star struck is when it was playing loud in the car and I mouthed the lyrics to a middle aged woman in the car next door who smiled and pulled her sunnies down as she smiled at me. Thanks for THAT moment Chrissie. xoxo I'm still star struck darl!

  • May ALL Wish their utmost Sincere Thoughts n Wishes of Peace, Love, Comfort n any Support possible, to the Wonderful Talent n Gift that is Chrissy Amphlett, n to her Family n Friends at this very difficult time in Her Personal journey, Our Prayers Always, Much Peace, Love n Light XxX

  • Saw the Divinyls way back in late 81 or early 82 at the old Jump Club in Collingwood (owned in those days by Greg Macainsh of Skyhooks). What a performer was Chrissie, truly elecytrifying

    It's sad to see someone that had so much energy being afflicted as she has

  • the greatest,hottest,horniest rock chick of all time. imagine chrissy and angus young together sensational

  • Comment removed

  • Classic song from a great band. A shame their first album never got its due, it was brilliant and every track was fab!

  • @taipan185 Sorry there young Taipan - it appears I was responding to you by mistake instead of someone else. I'll remove the comment. Once again, sorry for my ill directed rant! This 'dumb as fuck pinhead' has just officially pulled his head in!! :)

  • @TheNosferatu1969 Ok not a problem old man I'll remove my comment aswell. Btw I am only a year younger than your good self :)

  • @taipan185 LOL, ah chill time, wife and kids are in bed, time to listen to some Chrissie, I love this stuff, it's the best, so many great songs, I'm amazed how awesome her and Mac really were, what a team! NZOZ, as always, I really appreciate your hard work loading this classic Aussie music up. Thanks a million!

  • @TheNosferatu1969 no worries! thank you for the kind comment!

  • PS.. do ya have Divinyls - Back to Wall ??

  • @truespyfan i do, but its already on youtube

  • Fuck midnight oil, that arsehole garret was a lying cunt.

    Zero credibility, I no longer acknowledge that they ever existed let alone listen to their muzak. What idiots we were back then. And we believed this arse wipe.

  • @59whiterabbit Yeah of course he is full of shit I mean as one guy he should be able to completely overhall the entire system from his position within the labour party. He always talked about effecting change so instead of staying with the band and making more records he jumped head first into politics..... what was he thinking!?!?!?! /end sacasm.Unlike you he isn't perfect but also unlike you he isn't sitting in front of his pc doing fuck all and bitching at other people for not doing anything

  • Australian music...I tell you..I live almost on the exact opposite side of the globe (Denmark) and...well...there's something so incredible unique about 80ies music from Australia...dunno what it is but it just incredibly catchy, it rocks...lot of energy....MIdnight Oil (10, 9, 8, 7....., Red sails in the sun set, Diesel and dust)...the old INXS stuff (Shaboo shabaah, The Swing, Listen like thieves etc) etc etc etc Divinyls!!!! almost forgot...ANyway...awesome music...and...get well Chrissy!!!

  • @Madsennullo its when the right things merge in the one place and at the one time. Mushroom records gave young Aussie musicians hope. Countdown gave young musicians hope that they'd appear on TV. Pubs gave young Aussie musicians a platform. Australian drinkers gave Aussie musicians reason to be good (no fun getting a punched on stage by a punter just cause you didn't satisfy them).  Australian girls gave young male Aussie musicians reason to live. Back then, Aussies were young.

  • and ready to take on the world...

  • @Madsennullo yeah you're right the 80's Aussie music was pretty damn awesome and you just happend name one of my all time favourite albums .... Red Sails in the sunset. Gotta wonder why though that these days aussie music has gone so far backwards? There are a couple of exceptions such as powder finger but not much else.

  • @taipan185

    when its come to progress, australia has always had a clutch within its wheel... its nothing impressive nor charming (as much as some people like to profess that it is). We really are the pretty blonde bimbo nation that lacks mental development. We have a government that puts business before cultural development. This nation pretty much is a working nation where the real heroes are the sportsman, whilst the people are the cheese-burger-eating/beer-drin­king punters... its boring.

  • rock on chrissy shes amazing

  • fuck yeah!

  • It used to shit me that the rest of the planet had no regard for Australian pop/rock music. Man, the Church, Go Betweens, Triffids ... I could go on ....

    And now that it is getting long-overdue recognition, I just feel like flippin' the bird to them. It's like, my secret has been revealed.

    Loved this song ... stands the test of time.

  • @djimi66 couldnt agree more having a Divinyls Renaissance @ the moment

  • one of the biggest aussie bogan bands ever. Also happened to be brilliant live and the only reason i ever went to Bombay Rock and all those other dives

  • @AlfieNoakesOhHo ..also, i'm probly one of the only blokes in Oz who hasn't fukt her yet

  • sad news, she is truly one of the best frontpersons ever to grace a stage or record an album in Australian popular music history. A legend, her shit stands up today effortlessly.

    I hope she's ok, as she is fuckin' aces.

  • Chrissy Amplette has been diagnosed with breast cancer.  Please give support to her and family during this tough times.

  • @nzoz1982 in that case she needs vitamin D. lol. that will cure her MS as well. she needs to sunbake like crazy.

  • @nzoz1982 - as well as MS? My god, this poor girl cant take a trick :(

    Nutha great upload from NZOZ...

    Thanks Mr.

  • Chrissy ♥

  • God damn they rock! 28 year old song and it absolutely wipes the floor with this crap music of today. Australia is amazing, the 80s were amazing and the Divinyls were beyond amazing.

  • @Jeffredo729 something was happening in Australia during the late 70's/early 80's... it was that 'something happening' vibe - much like early 60's Liverpool, Swinging London, London Punk, New York Punk and any other time when something was happening.

    During this period, something was happening in Australia...

  • Head banging Chrissie!!!!!!

  • The birth of kinderwhore

  • damn this brings back so much memories, awsome song and singer tooo !! thankyou chrissy

  • Looking for pixie michael michaels who was a roadie with them for a couple of years. anyone know???

  • love Chrissie

  • this on of australian rocks most precious the harmonys everything thank you Ds thank you

  • this video takes me back to the first years of MTV in the U.S. Back when MTV was just music videos and nothing else.... this video was played quite a bit there in the early 1980's.

    Excellent job bringing up the lighting on this one too, so many copies here have been too dark.

  • @Schwanz62 thanks for noticing the lighting touch... I was tired to not seeing her face. I believe this clip was shot in New York.

  • @Schwanz62

    What a great song - well done mate on both the clip&sound quality - very good. Does anyone remember the name of an 70-80's Aussie band who had 2 hits - Tickle Everybodies Fancy, and Little Romance?

  • @achtsieben87 I think that band was called Finch...Not real sure...

  • @slaxwell55 Taste

  • @nzoz1982 Of course!!! Couldn't remember exactly...Well not at alll. Bugger! LOL

  • @achtsieben87 that was Taste

  • @nzoz1982 Thanks, and also slaxwell55 for trying! Yes it was Taste and I see they released a single in 2008 called Rock is Dead.

  • I SO LOVED this tune as a kid!!! And the singer and her voice and her dancing and everything! FTW!!!

  • Apparently when they played live in the early eighties she would run to the middle of the dance floor hitch up her skirt and take a piss on the floor, she said it was her marking her territory. So amazing. xx

  • @gandumardi I heard that too but it's the kind of thing I find hard to believe.

  • I could do with being born some 20 years earlier than 1981, just so I could have been there to see the bulk of briliant Aussie bands that were playing around at the time. Chrissie, you are a hero of mine, I love you always... oz rock would never be the same without you! Geelong should be proud!

  • I think this was in that Monkey Grip movie, the one Heath Ledger's Candy was based on, this song conveys more emotion in a few minutes than current pop crap like Justin Beeboring.

  • We all had our hands in our pockets in the early 80's watching Chrissy go for it ;D

  • @mika7367 even the gay guys ;)

  • Chrissie kicks Joan Jett's arse.

  • THE origal bad girl!

  • unreal, nzoz!!!!!!!!!! thanks again for posting all these clips!!!!!!!! keep em comin!!

  • Love the Divinyls and this track is my all-time favourite of theirs. Saw them many times in Melbourne pubs back in the mid to late eighties and this clip sure does bring back some great memories. Thanks for posting the excellent clip. Cheers !

  • Love the Divinyls and this track is my all-time favourite of theirs. Saw them many times in Melbourne pubs back in the mid to late eighties and this clip sure does bring back some great memories. Thanks for posting the excellent clip. Cheers !

  • Damn, she has a voice!

  • again I salute you nzoz for all the excellent clips you have uploaded - not only are they great clips but the sound and picture quality is usually top notch as well. absolute credit to you tube.

  • @coughcool72

    Thanks for the positive comment... this stuff has to look and sound its best. I have watched many clips from a variation of non-US/UK bands and have not found many with top-notch quality. Oftne I see a clip of a song I do not know, by a band/artist I have never heard of and find it very off putting when I'm inflicted by poor sound/picture quality. My aim was to arrest those who are new to this stuff!!

  • @nzoz1982 You got me!

  • 2 Effin Much!

    Me love her long time.

  • yes well eye candy for shore beautiful n marked apron yes O baby ya got a hit

  • I love discovering back-catalogues of groups that only had one song I knew. And it's even better when the songs are as good as these ones.

    And Chrissie's fracking glorious here -- I especially like these vids from 1982.

  • Where are they now? Are they still touring and perfroming?

  • When I saw her being interviewed on TV, I almost didn't recognize her because she looked perfectly normal and had a happy personality.

  • My sister was at one of their shows when Chrissy urinated on stage!

    Love their songs!

  • why's she shaking like that? is she doing what i think she's doing?

  • Saw these guys many times....and this song almost smashes you out of the room.......{.i think they play too loud}......JOKING

  • ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SONG

  • I feel lucky to have been born in a year of such great music like this, my only letdown is i wasn't old enough to enjoy it live & new

  • I love you too Chrissy.

  • Invented head banging!

  • Rock on Chrissy!

    I love you you know!

  • Wow, go babe, she really, really means it! I just bought her book "Pleasure and Pain" have to wait for the post man.

  • She is without doubt one of most unique and intense performers anywhere ever, not just in Australia.

    Amazed her head didn't fall off her shoulders here though.

  • Darron, I've watched your channel in the past. I'm amazed at what you've collected and have uploaded. Thanx for paying a visit to my channel...

  • @AussieRoadshow rivalled blondie as the most high quality post-punk pop rock of the era

  • Such a great performance. Who cares about whatever drugs whoever took, it's not important, they still managed to produce a sensational track regardless.

    Marlene Dietrich eat your heart out!

  • it doesn't matter who took what drugs, until it screws up the band... at the end of the day, it still remains their fault; it's just unfortunate that this line-up couldn't last the distance.

  • I've read Chrissie's 2007's Aurobigraphy. They were all pretty much Cocaine and Smack/Heroin addicts at the time hoping to crack it big in the US Music Market. I think some of those US music producers over there at the time were of no help and pumping their potential acts full of Coke!

  • She's cold and shivering, someone get this gal a sweater!

  • ...an excellent tune from the early 1980's...thanks for posting this on wonderful you.tube...

    ...you.tube my invaluable window to the sights, sounds of memorable stimuli.....

    :-)

  • Fuck i LOVE crissy

  • Great song, great band and weren't they just brilliant live at the Palace in St. Kilda. Great memories indeed....80's music was the best, no doubt about it.

  • Probably one of my favorite songs by The Divinyls!!! This song always gets me emotional and turs my thoughts to days long ago. It gives me a faraway feeling, you know. Especially now that Christina is fighting MS. My prayers are with her. I will always love The Divinyls! Loved them for nearly 30 years already! Long may they live!!!!!

  • muy bueno , lastima que nunca vinieron a buenos aires, argentina, no se si en esa epoca no gustaronporque inxs vino varias veces por esos tiempos.

  • If chrissy was so good at sex and stand up assertions on stage then it's no wonder all the porn on the net are full of girls fooling themselves about entertainment and appropriation.

  • she's just amazing

    Hell yeah.

  • Bugger.

  • Still, it's hard to believe this is Little Pattie's daughter. Ho ho.

  • cousin, not daughter

  • or is this one from the movie "MONKEY GRIP ""???

  • I love this song, its one of my faves by the Divinyls and I just love Chrissie....she oozes such character on stage....that's original. Thanks for posting as well as Boys in Town and many more. :o)

  • I love this soooooooooo much i have to play it every day!!!!!!!!!! Im in such love with Chrissy!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why are there two versions of this song? One is in front of some buldings and the other one is this?

  • I was only lonely that's all

  • Does anyone here remember an appearance by the Divinyls on Countdown when Chrissy poured a jug of water over her head at the end of the song? I would really like to see it if its on Youtube.

  • look up Divinyls - Siren on my nzoz1983 account. that's the one you want.

  • Thanks nzoz1982. It was a great clip to see again ... after so long!

  • no worries ;)

  • Thanks for the better quality of this video. So cool!

  • I reckon the riff at 1:42 sounds very similar to the start of Berserk Warriors by Mental As Anything.

  • late 70s to early 80s Aussie music just hits me in the right spot, and I was born in '73. I get awfully nostalgic listening to these tracks.
