Sex Education, one of the best and most popular shows on Netflix last year, returned for a second series early this year.

 

The opening scenes celebrated the show’s smart and loveable 16-year-old hero, Otis, finally overcoming his neuroses and learning to masturbate.

 

The comic montage had the perfect soundtrack: Scala & Kolacny Brothers’ euphoric choral cover of Divinyls’ 1990 hit “I Touch Myself”. 

 

The Australian rock band were formed in 1980 by singer Chrissy Amphlett and guitarist Mark McEntee.

Great song, great live performer.  RIP Chrissy.  We miss you.
