I remember when I saw "I Touch Myself" for the first time and wished I could be as sexy as Chrissy Amphlett. I had eyes like her and lips....so I used that "Chrissy pout " alot back then!!! And wow, it worked!. Oh, those days......
Hah. I don't think there was a man alive in australia back in the 80s, teenager or older, who didn't have dirty thoughts about Ms Amphlett. She was a godess.
yeah duck, here in the states when us 16 year olds saw "Boys in town" we were pretty stunned...whenever we spoke of "hot chicks" on Mtv in the early days she was always at the top of the list
if any one has the other 2 videos of this segment please upload them ( one of them is of Mark and Chrissy having a speach and chrissy was about to cry) PLEASE UPLOAD!
" Boys In town" totally blew my mind and changed the way women were supposed to behave on and off stage.Part Mick Jagger, part Brigette Bardot, all Chrissie, god she is gorgeous.
I know! Chrissie also reminds me of Ronnie Spector (voice wise) but she is a total original...it's shocking that The Divinyls were not bigger in the States.
One of the most brilliant yet tragic combinations of rockers you will ever get to know, their story is rock and roll and it's a miracle they recovered let along re-uniting to go one more round.
Come on creates we are not talking world politics here. It's The Divinyls damb-it. A very sexy and differnt kind of croon than we have heard here in the US.
It's music, subjective. I so enjoy a strong female volcoist with a strong stile and something about the breath and phrasing just always made me almost wet my pants.
As an american I just want to say that we arent all so ignorant. Australia has a vibrant and rich music scene. It's clear that the music charts in either country don't necessarily correlate. Even if Divinyls didnt enjoy great pop chart success over here, that doesnt mean that they werent popular in their home country. Anyway, they were popular among college and alternative radio listeners here in the states. I know KROQ in los angeles played them quite a bit before 1991
Divinyls r great, my fave songs I touch myself, I'm jealous, & Boys in Town. Chrissy is the best :D russitms I'm the same age as U & I think it'ds great 2 know of some1 my age who likes them just as much as me :D
Divinyls were/are one of the most amazing bands in the world! NOT a one-hit wonder at all! I can think of some 20+ real hits from them over the years.
Hey nortequy ...what kinda gay name is that anyway..sounds like you got a national complex.What !? ....do americans intimidate you ?? if not, you should be
sorry none of my business, but who would be intimidated by the US? seriously are you taking the piss???, Aussie music is great, a force to be reckoned with.
Anyway, I think this chick is either trying to be antagonistic or is truly believes the measure of talent and musical worth is soley based on how well they've performed on the Billboard charts.. which is idiotic, indeed.
You act like you're charts are the only charts in the world, you guys are very shallow.You still think that Kylie Minogue is a one hit wonder.Don't assume that your music charts are of high importance to the rest of the world and quit making stupid comments on topics you don't know anything about.
Divinyls will be headlining 'Homebake 2007' in Sydney this December. The Homebake website says that a new album is due, so you never know. Chrissy and Mark need to make a come back!!!
How many of you had your own private concert complete with 'WOOHOO's and headbanging at the TV in your living room when they broadcast this induction on Foxtel? Certainly me, my neighbours must have thought I was an idiot.
Wow! Now that's a tribute!
And from Hugh Jackman no less!
And from the way he speaks he has obviously seen you live.
Quite the experience it is, I can tell you!
The Divinyls totally deserve this Hall Of Fame Award!
Twenty plus years on and the Divinyls are still at the top of every music device I own.
Rock On!
PS Love School was an absolutely epic piece of brilliance showing your timelessness perfectly!
You should all be very proud!

This American has been hooked on Divinyls since he first saw "Boys In Town" on MTV. Amazing stuff. Congratulations on the Hall of Fame.

This is a clip from the AUSTRALIAN Record Industry Awards ceremony.
So it's just ignorant to say they are one hit wonders.
They were one of the biggest bands for a ten year period in the market which is recognising them, Australia.

They were still the best with ALL the original members. Songs with lyrics and a great music sound.
