Chrissy Amphlett and Divinyls' producer Mark Opitz actually lived in the same dilapidated dive as Elsie in Darlinghurst, Sydney. Like most vocalists today, this one sounds too polished. Chrissy was raw and passionate and as she got further into the song seemed to take on Elsie's persona. The last part of this recording also lacks the controlled mayhem of Divinyls' "Desperate" version.

Did she actually write the lyrics? I recall her writing on VF that this was a cover number?
