We had a party at high school in The Hague in 1968, just one year before Venus was released. And some genius managed to have Shocking Blue play for us the entire evening. They played this song as well of course. That was fabulous :-) A class mate of mine even danced with Mariska during a break because I promised him a beer if he would dare to ask her. I could imagine this guy Paul Overman has been grateful to me for the rest of his life :-)

[@eatthedots]

such a GREAT band! in USA, they are barely known today, and even then usually as a "one-hit-wonder" .. "the band that made that song Bananarama remade" - but they are so much more. And anyone who has the interest to delve into their musical catalog quickly realizes what a talented group this was. They tackled many different genres in way that not many people did at the time (similar to Blondie) - always with an addictive, catchy hook that yanked you in. And then there's Mariska Veres! What a great voice! Deep, husky, strong, soulful and with that irresistible thick Dutch accent.

[@YanGillan]

Excellent guitar's fuzz sound, magic beats, clockwork drive! Undying theme

[@전재영재영]

Her energetic sound is really exclusive. She,s gone and doesn't exist now. I'ĺ remember that she was a very great vocalist.

1974 год. Мои "первые шаги". Одноклассник, у которого отец ходил в "загранку", поделился записью на бобине, неизвестного мне ансамбля. Это был третий альбом голландской группы Shocking Blue "Scorpio's Dance" (1970), с потрясающей вокалисткой Маришкой Вереш. Казалось бы прошло 40 лет, но я не перестаю любить песни с этого альбома, Alaska Country, Send Me A Postcard, Scorpio's Dance и конечно Daemon Lover. А музыка этой группы, словно срослась с моей ДНК и прочно вошла в "саундтрек" моей жизни...

Had to give up on 'Hanna' after the second episode. Too silly for this 70 year old. But it brought me back to this song. My brother and I drove my van from SoCal to Texas in '71 to go to college. The only cassettes we had for the trip were this, a Black Sabbath and Aqualung.

[@MC-hh6ts]

Hanna brought me here.. That second episode was amazing!!

[@taimoorkhalid6388]

Hanna bought me here to..!!

[@sisyphos906]

the whole train station scene was EPIC

[@archangele1]

I was curious who did this after watching the Hanna series. I originally thought it might be the Hungarian singer Sarolta Zalatnay since a lot of this production is Hungarian. I remember thinking how hot Sarolta was when I was young. Actually I look at pictures of her and still think she is hot. But, Mariska Veres is also amazingly hot as well. Both sound similar when they sing. I love this kind of music.

[@archangele1]

Hmmm, I looked into Mariska Veres and found out her father was Hungarian. Hmmm. Maybe that is why she sounds similar to Sarilta Zalatnay.

[@alexdiesel1977]

me too

[@cantstopsinging]

Great band.. I wish they were more popular here in the US, where only their Venus was known.. On this song, she kind of sounded like Grace Slick

[@JamesMelik01]

The first time I heard this on Radio Veronica, with its poor reception, I really thought it was Grace Slick.

[@pablogriswold421]

cantstopsinging I'm a die-hard Jefferson Airplane fan (and Blue Öyster Cult but that's got nothing to do with it) so no wonder I loved Shocking Blue when I found them. Definitely have similarities.

[@TSKTheShadowKnight]

Embarrassing to admit but I thought "Venus" was WRITTEN by that 80s band. I'm so pleased to have been corrected.

[@Stevewinsoldies]

I thought this was another Mattiel song as in Hanna episode 6, very similar, both awesome.
