Monkey Grip is a soundtrack to the film of the same name, with songs provided by the Divinyls. The movie is an adaptation by director Ken Cameron of Helen Garner's novel Monkey Grip. The movie had little impact at the box office, taking only A$451,000. The soundtrack was released in 1982 and peaked at #25 on the Australian ARIA Album Chart. The soundtrack contains the band's first song "Boys In Town" as well as "Only Lonely", "Elsie" and "Only You", all of which are featured on the Divinyls' first studio album Desperate. Monkey Grip also features two other songs "Gonna Get You" and "Girlfriends". Christina Amphlett also co-starred in the movie Monkey Grip, playing a temperamental rock singer loosely based on herself, fronting a band played by fellow Divinyls members.
