What is strange for me: I have been live in Netherlands for 3 years (I'm hungarian), and I talked to sevaral dutch people about the Shocking Blue, but the 70% of them didn't know, that Mariska was from my country. :O :(
I read that this song was never released as a single in the US. That is just crazy. It would have done well as it is as good as or better a song as any that charted at the time. I encourage people to request this song and bug DJs until they play it. Maybe it can chart since most people are unfamiliar with it here it would be new to them. Would be long overdue recognition.
One of the finest songs from the psychedelic era. I didn't know Mariska had passed on - so sad. I can't imagine why the record company never released this song as a single in the U.S. Just one of those monumental blunders, I guess.
In memory of Mariska Veres 11/2006, as a teenager I danced and had a lot of fun with her songs, Thank you, and the friends I had fun with in those times, thank you too, R.I.P. and thanks again for your beautifull songs that inspired us.
pegajosa means wen something gets into your mind and you cant stop thinking about it for some time the day ive heard this song i was singing it all day long my wife asked me if i was crazy
I was born in 1968 and grew up, mostly, in San Francisco (Hayes Valley then later in the Mission district all in the decade of the 70s), and so just new to life and around 7 or 8 heard 'Venus' among other songs and thought it was rocking. I had no idea that they had other numbers more dynamic and with tunes put well together, such as this number.
i really liked your comment. i was born in '89 in romania and still live in romnaia. my daddy;s old schools and from him i've heard about shonking blue, they still rock not to me or you but all over the world!
heard this at a psyche party 1985 , london, its dynamo helps keep the core alive
