...I touch myself

[Will Hay]

"I touch myself, when I think about you
I don't know anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself"

If I live to 150 I don't think I'll ever a see a funnier sight than the wedding I went to last week.
There were three of them, yes three of them, sat on chairs at the edge of the dancefloor, not one of them under 65 years old, all dressed in their best flowery dresses, clunky shoes and six months old wrinkled brown tights, all singing along and clapping their hands, completely oblivious to the lyrics.

You had to see it to believe it.
Oh, had I only had a comcorder with me.
Just wanted to share that with you.
Will

just becuase they are 65+ doesnt mean they might not be "oblivious to the lyrics."

cranking one off wasnt exactly invented this century

That is absolutely disgusting - they should be locked up

[BJ_M]

Britney Spears it was (i think) ... singing about JT or madona or somebody ..



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

i don't want anybody else
when i think about you i touch myself
i don't want anybody else
oh no, oh no, oh no

you're the one who makes me go money
you're the sun who makes me shine
when you're around, i'm always laughing
i wanna make you mine

i close my eyes
and see you before me
think i would die
if you were to ignore me
if you could see
just how much i adore you
i'd get down on my knees
i'd do anything for you

i don't want anybody else
when i think about you i touch myself
i don't want anybody else
oh no, oh no, oh no

i love myself
and i want you to love me
when i feel down
i want you above me
i've searched myself
i want you to find me
i forget myself
i want you to remind me

i don't want anybody else
when i think about you i touch myself
i don't want anybody else
oh no, oh no, oh no

i want you
i don't want anybody else
and when i think about you
i touch myself
ooh
oooh
oooh oooh
i-i-i-i-i-i

i don't want
anybody else
when i think about you
i touch myself
oh,
i don't want
anybody else
when i think about you
i touch myself
i touch myself
(i don't want anybody else)
i touch myself
(when i think about you i touch myself)
i touch myself
i touch myself
i touch myself
i touch myself

Dyvinals.

Now I'm showing my age.

[housepig]

That is absolutely disgusting - they should be locked up

reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode - the Government decides that people over 70 are of no use to society, so they kill them off. A gov't bureaucrat sends his dad off to die, over dad's protestations.

the bureaucrat's son thinks it's a great idea, and joins the Gov't, and pushes to lower the age to 50... just about the bureaucrats' age....

[curryman]

good episode housepig - i remember that one and another similar episode but reversed.
at the age of 15 or 16 children had to take an exam in school to see how intelligant they were....if they passed then fine...if they failed they were executed.........how scary would that exam be?

[Will Hay]

Britney Spears it was (i think) ... singing about JT or madona or somebody ..

If it was that poor girl 'britney' then she covered it, it wasn't her to start with.
I remember rthe chick who sang it was stunning, so it def. wasn't 'britney'
I didn't know she was singing about another chick.

Dyvinals.

oh yea -- your right .. they also did "I aint gonna eat my heart out any more"

[Hatz]

It was the Divinyls.

One of my favorite songs of all time.....heheh. I have actually done reports about this song in school. A few times. The one teacher that was mormon didnt think it was so funny.

Divinyls sang it.......Australian group. Consists of two members. One hit wonders of the 80s.

Hatz

[BJ_M]

two hit wonders ...

[Will Hay]

......anyone a pic of the chick, maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Listen, you didn't see them!
I bet one of them had a bag of knitting with her
They looked life they'd never had any.
Of course you're (clinically) right, it was the sight of it is all
Will

[Hatz]

two hit wonders ...

Which other hit are you referring to, Only the Lonely or Boys In Town.

I guess the reason I said they were one hit wonders was because I Touch Myself was the only one that really took off world wide, reaching high spots on the UK, Australian, and US Charts.

Her name is Christina Amphlett. You should be able to do a google search and find her. Not that bad looking back in the day either.....hehe.

He may mean "I aint gonna eat my heart out any more" (see above) but BJ_M thought it might be Britney so there's no gauarantee they ever did that song
Thanks for the singer name
(I've just looked on google, that is certainly not who I pictured singing it
Will

[BJ_M]

no comment there (above) --


"I aint gonna eat my heart out any more" got popular because it was used a lot in 'Buffy the vampire slayer' (the movie) -- but not really a hit per say - true ....


"She was part of "diVINYLS". This band has been around since 1981, churning out quite a few commercially successful albums which sold well in in Australia/NZ, Britain and parts of West Europe. For most of their existence, they were a 4 or 5 piece band. In the early 90's, diVINYLS had a hit single with their song "I Touch Myself" which was nominated for Video of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards 1991."

Britney DID do this song (as a cover i have learned) -- it got her into a bit of trouble when she dropped the good girl image ... (along with the pics )

[Hatz]

ya that picture is def. not a very good one. That looks like it is her singing last year or something.....lol. She def looked better in the early 80s. Guess there is just something about a girl talking about masturbation that holds a spot near and dear to my heart

I'm with you all the way there buddy!

BJ_M, that is not a good pic!
I did see one I quite liked but it was outnumbered twenty to one so uploading it would have been unfair!

She had a major makeover by the time that song came out


Christina Amphlett was once compared to being a cross between Patti Smith and Angus Young

She had very bad teeth and a rat is crawling over Chrissie on the Divinyls first album cover.

Tim Farris of INXS described her as being "a bit strange" and the late Michael Hutchence added "but a lot a fun at parties".


I had seen the Divinyls perform many times during the '80s (long before I Touch Myself)
They were a wild band - very cool though.

MTV gave them much air time, despite their albums not charting that well in the U.S.
I still have all of 'em

You can also find them on several '80s teen movie soundtracks (Sixteen Candles, Nightmare On Elm Street 4, etc)

Christina also had a great deal of exposure (as most female singers have) unlike Britney and Janet who are only teasers.


She also sang with Icehouse (also from Oz)


Check 'em out - they had a lot of great songs.

Reminds me of Logans Run:"Sanctuary"

[stiltman]

I thought that was from the Rocky Horror Picture Show

[gmatov]

That's good, Logan's Run, kaput at 21st b'day.

Where would all you kids be today? Soylent Green?

BTW, that was a book, WAY before it became a movie, much better book.

And, remember, no 20 something is sending you off to die in foreign lands, they're all old farts.

The Queen is what, 70?

Ah, well, some pipple get old, some are lucky, die young, make a good looking corpse.

And, really, you go see a dead person, invariably someone says, ah, he looks so good, and the other says, well he should, he just came out of the hospital.

Cheers,

George
