Divinyls - Punxsie Lyrics

I love this song but can somebody tell me what Punxsie means?! Please

one person that has long memories for me I will never forget our time together thank you Chrissy

I like the song....Can anyone tell me what the word punxsie means???

This song is so good. One of their best late 80's tracks when they were at their best in my opinion.

brilliant Saw them at the State theatre Sydney in 1991 when I was 15

Funny that this Chrissy worked w the USA Chrissy when a skinnier than usual Aussie bore a resemblance.

I've reassembled the entire segment of '' Blah Blah Blah'' from which this video was shot in case anyone cares to watch it as a playlist. Also like to wish Divinyls drummer Warren McLean a speedy recovery from his surgery as he battles a bit of cancer. Warren is a master of the kit as well as being a damned fine human being. #WazOnEarth

Main/cw

I miss this woman's voice so very much. Rich, smoky, and beautiful. Rest easy Crissy, no one will forget you.

I wish they'd have used my end piano part from the demo. Had some nice bits in it that aren't there on the final. Oh well ... history now ...

gregmixing intriguing. would love to hear what that sounded like

So very beautiful and totally unique......Hard to believe the single didn't chart anywhere.....even in Australia!..... I can't help but ask the question.....what were we listening to that was so much better?

This was their best song in my view. Just gorgeous..

Sexy bitch

I so love this song

Repressing that annoying accent I see.

Amazing

probably one of my favourite songs. so unique. love the chord progressions and harmonies going on in the background. and of course Chrissy sings amazing

<3 Chrissy and Divinyls songs so much! But doesn't Mark just look exactly like Trent from Punchy? Heroin much?

Jake Awake Possibly. Early bassist Rick Gossman was a junkie when he was still playing in Matt Finish. Chrissy "chased the dragon" a few times pre Divinyls.

You are with me and live on all night as I play all of your amazing tracks over and over while I drink. Thank you. So perfect. Fell in love with that voice when I was 12 and love it 30 years on.

Awesome song.

Pure Emotion

Rest in,peace Chrissy hope to meet you in,Heaven someday

God I loved Chrissy

Darren Milne my love for her goes beyond the grave.

Such a fucking awesome track. One of my favourite Divinyls songs for sure.

I got told by Marks recent wife owner of wheels and doll baby the song was written about a leather jacket,, I think one of Mark's or chrissy early rock n roll leather Jackets.

iis u Look at the back of Chrissy's jacket in this video.

Warren552011 ......Chrissy often had a very realistic-looking dead mouse/rat pinned to her jacket when she performed mid-‘80’s.

@Linda Jones Yes. I saw one photo where she had three or four of them pinned to her tunic. Then there was a "Boys In Town" clip from Countdown, (if I remember correctly) where she has a small doll or gingerbread man above one breast. That looks really cute.

love this song

What does punxsie mean?

+Akera Reese I remember vaguely around 1988 she said punxsie was a favorite jacket of hers.

ya making my world go round an round an round an round xxxx

Beginning with the Temperamental era, Chrissy had completely departed from the wild feral persona she was famous with over 6 years to a soft spoken beauty.

Joey Roller I loved her feral persona ...seeing Chrissy live in the very early 80s in pubs / clubs was the best thing ever .amazing performer and sexy as can be

Steve O'Hare...The change from the feral persona was inevitable as the band matured but may have been accelerated by an interaction at the East African Tragedy (EAT) concert in Jan 1985 where she delivered a wonderfully animated performance of ''Money''. In Chrissy's book ''Pleasure and Pain'' she describes experiencing some friction from fellow performers because of her choice of costume. We all love the gutsy little dynamo, but she also had a sensitive side.

@john king Yes. I seem to remember reading that James Reyne from Australian Crawl made some particularly scathing remarks. Although I never connected it to her change of image. You may be right.

@Warren552011 Yeah Warren, I get the impression that the impact of the interaction had a lasting effect, otherwise it would have pretty well been forgotten and never included in the book. I don't want to imply that James Reyne and the others were a bad lot, as they may have simply been consumed by the pressure of making sure that the concert went smoothly and particularly that it didn't upset the sponsor, Coca-Cola. As we both know, Chrissy was a very talented and complex individual and no one could be blamed for sometimes confusing the persona with the person.

the thing about the divinyls they sounded like nobody else they were fantastic

defo agree !!

baby animals are nearly as good

i´ll always love you Chrissy, you´re my platonic love. Rest in peace baby.

Chrissy, rest in peace :( I love you

I hope they release some nice remasters and a boxset to honor Chrissy's career.
We love you Chrissy!

Would've been a nice idea! :)

Love u Chrisy.
In thinking of u Yenta all my love u:-*

Rest in peace Christina ...
