Heard this on the radio today......and straightaway I was 12 years old again. Listening to it whilst doing my homework or making sure I'd packed my football boots for PE the next day, talking about Bananarama to some of the other lads at school, not knowing who Robert De Niro was (but not caring!), and really not having a worry in the world. 39 years ago now.....but seems more like 39 days in some ways.

Nancy, best comment I've seen on KZbin. so true!!

[@WaaDoku]

Nancy Smith There's actually research on that but I don't wanna burst your bubble so if you're not interested in why so many people have this feeling don't continue reading. You have been warned. Research has shown that people remember their childhood and teenage years as the safest, most carefree, liberating time in their life. The music that one repeatedly listens to during this time becomes associated with those feelings and memories and create an especially strong emotional connection with us. It's not that no one makes good music anymore or that the world has more or less problems now than back then. Our lives just changed and became busier and more complicated. We became aware of everything that is going on in the world, we have to work, earn money and take responsibility for our actions. This is true for all generations, regardless of musical genres or artists or bands that might exist at the time.

[@LastLetterisZed702]

In North America, back in the 80s, we thought "Venus" was their one-hit wonder. Than it was later in life that we became aware of other songs: "Robert De Niro's Waiting" and even better than that: "I Heard a Rumour and Cruel Summer." After that we found out "Venus" was an original by Shocking Blue from 1969 which sounds awesome!

[@nancyihnat2850]

@@LastLetterisZed702 Some of us in North America actually knew them from their Fun Boy Three days in the early 80's. I always thought this was their best song. By the time Venus came out I wasn't really even into them anymore. I do still have this album though:)

[@lewis7515]

It's a very nice song, very nearly ruined by their really awfully weak voices. It's like listening to three kittens at the far end of a room who, yes, can hold a tune - but sing all on one level, forget putting any dynamics behind it, let alone power.

You were on a constant loop/rotation. This one, was definitely one of my favorites, bigger in my mind than Cruel Summer or Venus. Your songs remind me of simpler & happier times, before things got bad. Thankfully, things have gotten better. I hope all of you are doing well, and I send out much love on you for the memories.

[@waynetompkins3006]

The Hot 100 in those days was such a crap shoot. If a popular DJ in New York or LA liked your song, it got airplay. Smaller markets looking to NY and LA for cues would follow suit. And of course airplay drove sales. If no one in a position of influence heard or liked your record, it "bubbled under" into obscurity. A lot of great songs met that fate.
