I remember the song and the steamy video of the lead singer of The Divinyls, Chrissy Amphlett, singing “I Touch Myself” from their self-titled release in 1991. I think it was a great album and underrated.
There is nothing like a good cover to spark renewed interest in a band. The Jagaloons have done that with their own version of the track. There are some differences in sound and product presentation, of course.
Just in time for the next big holiday and all you sweethearts out there, they are releasing the song on a 7” heart-shaped flex format.
Yes, there is still significant creativity and novelty to explore in music, and the surf instro genre is well known for that. That is one of many reasons why I love the music and the community.
The track has a nice sound and follows the original, with some additional touches of surf to keep the band’s reputation intact as one of the premier surf rock instrumental bands.
“I Touch Myself” features strong sounds that evoke memories of music and a provocative form of self-love ignited by another. However you look at it, this is a great track, brought back to life by The Jagaloons, and worth your attention.
