↓ LYRICS ↓
Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no one else had
Wow!
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
Wow!
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
(Venus was her name)
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
#Bananarama #Venus #TrueConfessions
I just love the fact that they sang the whole song as a group instead of having a lead vocalist and the rest as the backing vocalist.
@@marvinsilverman4394 Hahaha... Well, let's just say that i am the kind of muhammad that likes 80s music hehehe
They were more of a socialist 80s band. Probably voting for Bernie
@@trentbateman Bananarama are British and the first all girl British pop group to have a number 1 single in the US
yeah they did do that with most of their songs..
they're women, they don't know how to lead.
For those criticising their dancing, I don't think this was ever meant to be a 'choreographed' type of video. It's fun and casual like most videos were in the 80's. This wasn't the 00's where people danced in perfect sync like robots.
I'm not criticizing their dancing. Not ever!
OK Boomer
I see in this video real, self-confident and relaxed people who have fun with pop music. Nowadays, even being relaxed in music videos seems exhausting.
I was just thinking that. I always thought that they were just having fun! There are some real piss ants in this world. My goodness that was a fun time.
@@thomsboys77 oh, um, we’re still doing that insult? Thanks. Thought it had been cut.
This song was number 1 two times thats a testiment to how good it is no matter who's performing.
Wonderful Banda⛵😗😙😅👍🏻😂⭐👍🤣😄😭🌹🌹❤️💋😻😻🙏
I agree, the song is strong and it shows…👍😎
Yes and even if you can't spell testament. 🤔
Yeah that doesn't happen very often so that's quite a feat. I thought Kylie Minogue might have made it a third time # 1 with her version of "Locomotion" but nope it stalled at#3
It is perfectionsim, quality music here even from a classically trained man.
The riffs the solos the lyrics the drums. Everything is perfect on this song love it.
The synth bass as well!
Not to mention the fact that they're some VERY attractive young women back in the day, sigh. first time I ever heard this song was in mid, 1986, was trying to sleep and my roommate cranks up this song on his big Bose speakers. even though I was irritated, there was no denying that I loved that bass that was resonating through the walls. Yeah! this version of Venus is even better than the original, by Shocking Blue in 1969, ( remember hearing it in a Brazilian radio station in São Paulo). and the original by Shocking Blue was / IS a great song,, but the girls of Bananarama made it their own. LOVE it.
@@irocker350Not even close to the ORIGINAL, You sir, are a person a very banal taste
@@josephk4310and you are too entitled / self righteous, to realize that other people are allowed to have different tastes than you.
It kills the original! And the 80s ROCK!!
that takes me back, so refreshing to see these girls smiling, having fun while dancing around, miss the 80's
You're so lucky you got to experience thr 80s I'm 16 now and im stuck in a less quality generation
I wanted to b their friends back then lol
@@Kevin-zo7zm I’m 53 and I knew they were all MEN in drag in the 80s . Now people cannot miss it . It all the women I. Hollywood and Music . All inverted Beings!!!
exactly this. I really enjoyed their natural expressions
@@rusherman2112 exactly men aren’t normal any more neither woman’s love for men these days. They used to like muscular strong men now they like skinny gay boys who paint their nails and wear skirts I’m glad I’m a real man and will continue to influence erryone around me😎👍
Venus & Cruel Summer are 2 of the best songs of the entire 80s... & these women are seriously great-looking still today....🧡 Bananarama.... your babee she's got it!
YES!!! 🌷💚🍓
Salvador Dali would inhale, drink or swallow this.
Love the 80s music, nothing like 80s music!!!!
Ano ! Už nevím, kolikrát jsem toto psal, ale ...😊😊
these girls seems to be having fun and not fake like most we see on social media and new music videos genuine true happiness and beauty
I think so, too. I love their video of "Cruel Summer" and they are definitely having fun riding with a trucker and throwing banana peels at police cars,,,,LOL.
God bless the 80s, still rockin’ this in 2019.
The original song was lunched in 1969. So I wonder is it belong to 70s or 80s?
Handy Kamal / This is from the '80s
@@handykamal7555 Very good! It was done by a Group called Shocking Blue and it's also been used for Adverts for Venus Razor Blades owned by The Proctor & Gamble Soap Company who were the "Original" Sponsors for US Soaps back in the day.
so I'm like from the great white north and these brothers come up from st lou to help their cousin chef work this summer restaurant where I'm the sous. I tell the guys there's an eighties band tonight let's go. The one dude is like I may be black but I ain't stupid. Like we the only black people around -I don't want wind up in a lobster trap as bait. The bar below is empty so we go there first and the people dancing in time upstairs have it looking like the ceiling is gonna cave from the bounce. We go upstairs and there is a bottle neck to get in that parts like the red sea letting them in-people high fiving them yo yo so and so and shit ...I'm like I've been coming up here for a decade these people won't give me the time of day you mnfer sob's- We get to the band area and these guys are in shock truly and I'm like what's the matter ? How do all these people know all the words and shit to all these songs ? Then I explained to them what a radio is. Yup youth is wasted on the young.
Isn't that a recover of "Shocking Blue" in the 60's ??? Anyway, it's just so "kitchy" .... And perfect for dance floors... Once upon a time we young...!!!!❤️❤️❤️
One of the GREATEST songs to come out of the 80's. I still love this song. Siobhan was always my favorite
Greatest song from de 70’s , theShocking blue’s song…
Back in their heydey, it was all about Sara for me. Then, about 10 years ago, after learning a little bit about the interaction between the three and looking at them from a different perspective, I think I noticed Keren more. But, now that I'm a lot older, I think Siobhan is the most beautiful. Bottom line is that they were all lookers and I had a very difficult time focusing only on their music back then. And, my favorite song of theirs is Cruel Summer!
Mr. G The original version from 1970 by "Shocking Blue" is much better!
@@redblade8160 They're both great. I guess you can say this version is the dance remix of the original.
@@mariateresamaurin805 It was actually released in 1969.
it’s shocking how well this version works
Shocking BLUE Better
I need this song to be a trend again please!! SOO GOOD
Ripped blue jeans, leather jacket, vampires, it's like it was made yesterday!
Darren Bauer The 80's baby.You gotta love it.
When everything was a sample or a COVER
Yes but she wears those ripped blue jeans so well
It doesn't sound like it was made yesterday though, it sounds very 80's (that's a good thing).
Rather the other way around Bauer . That's rather today's youth who forgot how to be creative . And just copies the past.
in spite of a camera filming their every move, Bananarama truly danced like no one was watching
Yes. And it's very attractive.
Yeah, they had an unbridled energy.
@@donhulbert1913 so badass
Fun to me. Ha
If only we could do such a thing nowadays in a club...
This was my music teachers favorite song. Bless his heart the man had us singing absolute bangers with our shrill and cracking teenage voices. How he didn't manage to ruin his favourites for himself and still put in the CDs for us with the exact same enthusiasm every time was a miracle all in itself. ❤😅
I love the 80s, but don't forget the original from 1969. Shocking Blue - Venus. Both great.
This hasn't aged a bit! Awesome song.
You are so right
it's not the original btw
What you mean this hasn't aged a bit? Everything in it screams 80s and that's the very reason I love it.
@@yourmum69_420 Shocking Blue was the original one
@@skeven0 I know
2021, and she's still got it. I love Bananarama!
1986!
@@duncan3998 FkN A, the best years of my life . Sadly gone, Gone with the wind.
@@theprinceoftides6836 How old were you back then?
Ich weiß das ist doch gleiche Band
Fornax!! :D
Aged like fine wine
All three of them were naturally outgoing and fun. I loved their music so much, with Siobhan's ultra girl voice on top.
one of the best things about 50 years old, is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and i am grateful!!!
We had it all fa real!! My son's a mill and listens to 80's and 90's music.
Ditto!
Eat your cake and have it too.
💯🎉👍
This clip ran countless times even into the 90s on MTV and has lost nothing of freshness and joy. The performance of the girls is just great. Great group to this day still
So why aren't they in HOF? THEY should be. Go gos are and have sold way fewer records
I still love this song. Great 80s jam. These girls rock!
Bananarama should be in the rock and roll hall of Fame
AT LEAST, HONEY. AT LEAST.
Look at how much fun they’re having filming the video… that’s all you need to have a great music video, casual designs and having a blast on set dancing. Sets the tone in itself by moving to the rhythm
Ni siquiera es su cancion de ellas es un cover!!!!!!!
It's like a party at the Finnish Prime Minister's House!
God bless the 80's!
He blessed it...wish we could go back!
Found this song by chance and now it’s my favorite song!!! Lets goooooo!!
You should listen to the original by shocking blue
Best of the VERY BEST!!!!
Makes me wanna power walk into a store and power walk right back out.
smee wimp

Dancing in the mirror as a teenager in the 80s with no worries😍
@Ray Rocco yup and hair and natural nails still long😅
Me too.... 😊😍😍
yes really dancing mucis .perfect 80 mucis
Ahhh, no worries...if only I realized back then that what i though were problems I would laugh at today... sigh lol 😂
timeless bop and my all time #1 choice for karaoke!
FINALLY! Someone digitized the video!!! Its so nice and clear now!!! I could listen to this all day, 24/7!!!! And just to let you know, this song is not Bananaramas........its a remake of the 60s original. Which is not a dance song. Shocking Blue is the original band..........
This song has a certain magic to it; no matter how sad or how bad of a breakdown im having, this song makes me instantly happy and energetic. Just the jingle at the beginning puts a smile on my face. I don't understand how or why and it scares me
And your DP scares me.
I think it's because it's just a happy and energetic song. It gives you good feelings, and that's nothing to be scared of. I'd say embrace it.
With the occult symbolism and the etheric topic of Venus, why would you find the magic surprising? They are paying homage to a demon.
Es hat was!!Was kommt leider !!!
Same here, though for some reason it sends all the energeticism into the wrong direction for me...
I love that they sing together, that way no one overshadowed each other.
John Wright you’re a mangina
@John Wright Wait for real?
@@williwildfang8032 The Goddess Venus Aphrodite wouldn`t allow that, lol; j/k?
a shade to pussycat dolls. HAHAHAHAH
@@ashrafbee4234 A total eclipse!!!!
One of my favorites of the 80’s for sure And they was jammin in this video too 😂
Beautiful!
80's goth + synthpop = perfection.
I will always miss 80's babes. Just something different. It is what it is.
They were feminine and sexy something women today lack.
I don't usually like covers, but this is the best version of this song.
No, the best version was sung by Shocking Blue, the best version. Give it a listen.
@@rsz90182No, this cover is better than the original.
Not Mariska Veres - but they're good!
@@rsz90182 OK, I listened to it again for the 1000th time and I was correct.

Is it just me, or is the mix they used here worse than the one in American Dad?
*El Generalissimo
I love these old videos.. No choreography, just the artists jigging around however they felt like
top man
They clearly have choreographed moves in some parts lol
Ikr, the music is really moving them, lol. I think it's great! A great work out at least.
Actually this was choreographed. By Bruno tonioli no less. Is that him sat in the chair at the start too? Possibly.
I really prefer the choreography of today but wish videos had the same spirit of the '80s. Everything is too planned out nowadays or is done for publicity. More spontaneity. Also, we had to wear jeans back then before they got ripped. They sell them that way nowadays. Spoils the fun.
大好きな歌なので聴けてよかったです！ありがとうございます！

I’m officially 80’s homesick
Shocking Blue was the group’s name,1969, was the year made originally.
There was a lot less violence. Beefs were settled by fists
Очень крутая аранжировка ,даже без голосов Слышал что автора музыки обвиняли в педофилии Как быстро прошла эта треть века!...😚🙁
The dancing looks like they practiced choreography for an hour, got drunk, and then filmed the video
Filmed after doing a few lines.
Rachelle ! - Yeah, these girls couldn’t dance their way out of a paper bag! Bad British dancing, but a great song! 😆🇬🇧😂
80's style was much more spontaneous and more fun and allowed for more individuality than mega conglomerate, sanitized, lipsynched, auto tuned, and dependent on a team of dancers and make up artists to give you " your style". Different times.
seriously. this video gives of major "wine mom" vibes, and I love it.
@@justynjonn Being a good dancer was a thing in the 80's though lol - these girls just weren't good dancers.
Ah Bananarama singing Venus Is a Classic.
어릴때 많이 듣던 노래.. 그 시절이 생각나네요..
80’s retro songs are always worth relishing and worth while listening 👂 too.
I’m a rocker/metal head yet even in 2020 I find myself jamming to this, and I ain’t ashamed! They don’t make music like this anymore!
Altough they didn’t gave credit to shocikng blue, I still like this cover till nowdays.
Sounds like Bon Jovi livin on a prayer lol
Listen to Shocking Blue version way better than this, the original!!!

Venus is the only song to date to reach #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 under three different artists, coincidentally, each time, it spent exactly 1 week at #1 1970: Shocking Blue (1 week #1) 1981: Stars on 45 Medley (1 week #1) 1986: Bananarama (1 week #1)
