'''Divinyls''' were an Australian band who were quite popular...[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries in Australia!]] Outside of the Land Down Under, however, they're one-hit wonders.

That being said, as one-hit-wonders go, theirs is certainly... ''memorable'', to say the least, and still incredibly popular- so all in all, not a bad result.

!!I don't want anybody else. When I think about you, I use these tropes:

* UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent: DUH. These are Australian performers, after all. Some fans argue that Chrissy maintains hers in her singing voice. [[SubvertedTrope This isn't readily apparent]] in ''I Touch Myself''.

* EpicRiff: Deliberately averted - in ''Long Way to the Top: Stories of Australian Rock & Roll'', Amphlett talks about how both she and guitarist Mark McEntee hated guitar solos.
* FieryRedhead: Chrissy Amphlett.

* LoveIsADrug: Divinyls' cover of Music/RoxyMusic's "Love Is the Drug" for the soundtrack of ''Film/SuperMarioBros''
* ObligatoryBondageSong: "Pleasure And Pain"

* {{Badass}}: Chrissy. She took the Australian music world by storm by being a strong, confident, sexual woman who gave as good as she got and refused to be intimidated or censored.

But, wow! What a hit! If you HAVE to be a one-hit wonder, then "I Touch Myself" is perhaps the best song ever to be your one hit!

It's devoid of {{purple prose}} and [[DoubleEntendre beating around the bush]] like "[[Music/FrankieGoesToHollywood Relax]]" or "[[CyndiLauper She-Bop]]".
