Absolutely amazing & shocking!! this is the very first time that I have seen them & I was really amazed with her beauty(lead singer) Thank you so much for posting this rare & wonderful video. I really love it!!! thank u magoGold!!!
Hmmmmm; I didn't realize this was a 'she'. I thought that it was either a 'he' or someone pretending to be a 'she'... Even after having seen them, I honestly did not think that it was a female fronting this group. My deepest apologies...
Oh my god, this is so magic! A look into the past of my childhood. Shocking Blue was one of my favourite rock groups when I was a little boy. Thanks for uploading this. Thank you!!
Robbie van Leeuwen was a pretty good guitar player and lyricist (esp. considering English is his 2nd language), but Mariska Veres was no doubt the star attraction. Her heavily-accented voice and dark, sultry looks are no doubt due to her half-German, half-Hungarian roots, and makes for great effect! I had one of their albums when I lived in Europe - besides Venus, California Here I Come {not the song you think} and Poor Boy were two very good back-to-back originals on this album.
so has wor lass still thats life. i can still have my fantasies and my memories.i suppose everyone looks back on the music they grew up with as the best, so i may be being nostalgic but i firmly believe that the 60s 70s will not be bettered.still love this track
If you watch during the wide shots, you can see monkeys swing around in their cage. Great song.

She reminds me of Grace Slick.... Excellent!
thewaybackmachine 4 years ago
Yeah, except Grace Slick doesn't sing with a heavy Slavic accent and doesn't paint her lips the same color as her face.
hell5309 2 years ago
Do ya think maybe it has to do with where she is from??? DUH!!!
thewaybackmachine 2 years ago
Only in terms of the Hungarian accent. (Either way, I don't really see a resemblance between Grace Slick and Marishka Veres.)
