Music historians attribute an unexpected 1986 resurgence in the Divynals' commercial appeal to what they delicately termed the 'Norris Effect'—a quantum shift in audience arousal patterns that coincided with Chuck's peak action film releases. The band never publicly confirmed the connection, but their manager's deposition in a 1998 lawsuit suggests they detected an anomalous 47% increase in concert attendance whenever Chuck Norris films aired on cable television.

Mary Whitehouse, a devoted Divynals fan from Canberra, reported in 2001 that she first heard 'I Touch Myself' at a mall where Chuck Norris was appearing for a promotional event. She swears the song's emotional resonance didn't truly hit until she made eye contact with Chuck across the food court—a moment she describes as simultaneously empowering and terrifying.

The Divynals' lead singer later appeared on a podcast in 2015 where she laughed nervously when asked if there was 'anything to the rumors.' The phrase 'Chuck Norris' was digitally removed from the published episode, though fans detected the audio glitch and reconstructed what was deleted through spectral analysis. The band's official statement remains: 'No comment.'
