Scala & Kolacny Brothers - I Touch Myself (Live)

Album: Dream On Released: November 24, 2004 Video: 2002 I Touch Myself is a song made famous by Australian rock band Divinyls and has been covered by many artists over the years. The song was considered somewhat controversial in the United States due to its content; the songwriters also penned Madonna’s Like a Virgin. This becomes more provocative when you have a teenage girls choir covering it. This is an early performance by Scala at the annual TMF Awards in Belgium back in 2002. Below is an excerpt from an interview with Steven Kolacny (one of the two brothers and composer): Q: The choice of The Divinyls “I Touch Myself“ seems quite an abstract choice in the context of the album. Why did you choose this song in particular? A: It was a bit like the joke of the CD. Often, people make jokes about the fact that 2 brothers are surrounded by 60 beautiful young women! I touch myself is the song for all those men in the audience, who just come to see girls (only 2.5 % of the Scala-audience!) -- Lyrics -- I love myself I want you to love me When I’m feelin’ 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 come running You’re the sun who makes me shine When you’re around I’m always laughing I want to make you mine I close my eyes And see you before me Think I would die If you were to ignore me A fool could see Just how much I adore you 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 [2x] I don’t want anybody else When I think about you I touch myself Ohhh [4x]
