    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!

    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

    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.

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.

      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.

      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!

    Making every man a man
    Black as the dark night she was
    Got what no-one else had
    Wa!

    It was really alot of fun being in a nightclub with friends and dancing and singing along with this and other great songs of that time. The clubs would play videos of the song on a big screen behind the dance floor. I was just old enough to get into the clubs when this song was new, it was a really a blast!

    Sorry in advance for the overly personal comment, but...
    Craig was my stepdad when I was a kid. The two of us would sneak out of the house to take night drives in his electric blue Nissan Z to the airport and watch the planes land/take off and get slushies from Dairy Queen and listen to fun pop music when my mom was being exceptionally challenging. However, when I access those memories, this song specifically is always the soundtrack to them. Things weren't always awesome at home, and I haven't been in touch with either my mother or Craig for 20 years, but these memories are so good.
    Today, I learned that Craig is no longer with us. It's a very conflicting feeling; logically it shouldn't hurt. I haven't spoken to him in so long and if he weren't dead it isn't like I would be reaching out... and yet. Hurt I am. So I am playing Bananarama at full blast and remembering Craig: a comrade in war, someone who always had a slightly too raunchy joke that was probably inappropriate considering my age but always made me giggle anyways, and someone I considered a friend. I hope you're resting well.

    Perfect re-make of the original. The music is so perky and the dancing and sets just right. The 80s are gone forever but this rendition will live on. Thank you Bananarama, three pretty English girls, who just want to have fun.

      It's always a question of taste ... As i already wrote, i find the original version much much better, this one is quite poor for me ... I Just can't stand that "plastic / digital" sound of the 2nd half of 80s!!! As a fan of electronic music, i really loved the coming back of analog sounds in the 90s !!!!

And there are female singers or actresses much hotter than Bananarama, in any case !
