Venus

Click the title above to hear my cover of "Venus" by Shocking Blue.



OK, everybody does this. Even Bananarama. And the last thing the world needs in another version.

BUT...

It's so much fun - even if yours truly struggles with the worlds simplest riff.

Best ever version. The Riptides. In 1983 INXS played Luna Park in Sydney but I went to see their support band "The Riptides" from Brisbane who did, amongst other things, a blistering version of Venus. It is available on their live double album, "Resurface" in a much later version.




That's the original in all its sixties glory.

Groovy.
