Legend has it that Divinyls recorded "Human on the Inside" (1996) while trying to mimic the music and style of RnR Hall of Fame inductees , The Pretenders.

In 1999 Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde loved the song so much she wanted to do a version of her own for her bands upcoming LP titled Viva el Amor. It's really high praise when the person your emulating, returns the honor by emulating your efforts.
FYI, this singer is the same person (Chrissie Hynde) who appeared on the TV sitcom Friends' playing guitar along side Phoebe in the famed "Smelly-Cat" episode.

Great song...and band. Interestingly enough, even though they are in the Hall of Fame, Chrissie Hynde is never really put on the same plateau as the other great female rock vocalists like Slick, Benatar, Nicks and Joplin...
Love it, but what do I know. I thought it was Amanda Ovemyer at first.
