How can you listen to this and just stand still, lmao

[classtimes]

There were a lot of cover songs in the 80's, but this was the only one that didn't seem like a cover - it was so fresh and fun that you didn't care or even think about the original. It was one of those songs that whenever I heard the intro on MTV I screamed and jumped in front of the TV to dance and sing along. Ah, memories!

[MaryRoss-zieb]

I was 25!!! Best years of my life!! Best music also!!!

[wombatcarey]

The greatest cover vision of all time. Shocking Blue should feel proud.

[spike]

At the dance club, the screen would come down and the Venus video would come on. omg...so much fun.

[lonelyboyable]

Wow!!!, look at the crowd, how excited they are.

[ElectoneGuy]

I've always fancied Keren the most, but Siobhan is on fire here.

[darrenmiller]

Great cover! The ladies can sing and were generally fierce. I was 22 and they were jaw dropping. Great cover.

Sarah, Siobhan and Keren, were discover in a Karaoke by Paul Cook former drummer by Sex Pistols, the rest is history by three of them: fame, glamour, style and tours around the world until 1991. Marvelous 80s, simply stunning.

[Jeff-rp]

Nothing going to top the Era everything about it kids wouldn't last or understand. How really enjoying mall, arcades. Riding bikes. Playing board games. Reading a book. Listening music. Doing painting pics old school. Colorful. Styles . Deimm jeans fashion.

[realistic]

All three are goddesses but, Siobhan is INCANDESCENT here … She even makes 1980’s super models look like Joe average girls .

[hectorguitian]

[bananaramafanclub]

The most powerful and beautiful British - Irish girl group of all times

[Speedslip-bqgk]

Man..where has time gone?!? I recall when this video first hit mtv and was a solid hit too. I also recall owning the original venus 45 single when I was around 5 years old???not sands was on the flip side. Older Cousin gave it to me along with (people are strange) by the doors and Judy in disguise lol

[jimmymurray]

Siobhan was electrical, pretty, fun, and something pure about her youthfulness. Sorry, she was my 16 year old crush. And a Celtic Gaelic name to boot. I'm just saying

[eejeej]

The crowd was super dead! No jumping or anything LOL!

[xtianroberth]

Yo conocí esta canción por Shocking Blue, pero esta versión también me encanta, en especial estas bellas damas😊

[brunesi]

Was this recorded inside the Matrix? Or was the crowd paid to stay still? Haha omg... besides, the audio quality of this event is better than the original clip. Amazing.
