Why I like this song:
R.I.P. Chrissy Amphlett
I must've been nine years old when this song hit big. At the time, it made me giggle with the opening line. This was due because I had already heard the phrase 'They love themselves' and knew it has used in anything but a positive manner (of course, it was only years later that I picked up on what being 'self-absorbed' means).
Needless to say, it took me some considerable time before I latched onto what this song was trying to convey.
Still it's a snappy song and part of the appeal is Chrissy's performance, playing the true provocateur and enjoying every minute of it.
So here's to you Chrissy
