I Touch Myself - Cover Versions

Cover Versions

  • Gina Riley infamously parodied the song on Fast Forward.
  • In 2000, the Industrial metal band Genitorturers released their album Machine Love which included a cover version of "I Touch Myself", with slightly altered lyrics, making the singer the dominant party in the song, rather than submissive. It is often mistaken to be a Jack Off Jill cover.
  • Rolf Harris performed a tongue-in-cheek version, accompanied only by his wobble board and asides full of innuendo, for Andrew Denton's Musical Challenge on the MMM Breakfast Show. This recording was released on the first Musical Challenge compilation album in 2000.
  • In 2005, the a cappella group Last Call from Cornell University released their fourth album Straight Up, whose fourth track is a cover of "I Touch Myself". This cover is, obviously, a cappella and is sung at a slightly faster pace. In the same year the Belgium all-girls choir Scala & Kolacny Brothers did a classical cover version.
  • It was remade as a dance song by Lenny B featuring Kristy Kay.
  • Alternative rock band Eve 6 occasionally covers the song during performances.
  • In September 2006, Australian singer-songwriter and former Bardot member, Tiffani Wood, released the song as the third single from her solo album Bite Your Tongue. It did not however make an impact on the ARIA Charts.
  • In 2007 the The Girls of FHM released a cover version and accompanying video.
  • On a tour with Ben Kweller and Ben Lee, Ben Folds performed the song live while the trio toured as The Bens.
  • In 2009 Pink covered this song during her Funhouse Tour.
  • "Weird Al" Yankovic included a portion of this song's lyrics in "Polka Your Eyes Out".
  • Australian musician and songwriter Megan Washington covered this song during the band's 2010 Australian tour to promote their album, I Believe You Liar.
