This is a cover of a '60s song, which itself was based on another older '60s song, which again was based on the folk song "Oh! Susannah". But you keep believing that '80s music is somehow better than anything that came before.
The production of this song is so top notch. Melody, rhythm and amazing dynamics, from the ethereal synth sounds all the way to the vocals. That's what makes it timeless. Today's version would be 'Toxic', Britney Spears. Another incredible production

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!
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!
Forever locked in time. Only these 3 young ladies could've pulled this off with each of them adding their own uniqueness to the video. It still holds up and 1986 was ages ago.

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.

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
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)
Que buena canción de los 80s, este estilo de Venus me encanta, te hace bailar y pasarla bien. Amos a los 80s, amo la buena música, estoy seguro que nunca va a pasar de moda, nosotros los incondicionales no lo vamos a permitir. Bravo Bananarama. Saludos desde Lima, Perú.
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.
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
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
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.
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!
Usually when bands do a remake of an older song, it's not that good. That is not the case here with Bananarama's version "Venus" originally a 1960's song. This is an excellent version !!
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. ❤😅
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.
@@H0n3yMonstah Yeah, pretty sure Siobhan Fahey is an Irish name. And her sister Maire was really cute as Eileen, in Dexys Midnight Runners' _Come On Eileen_ .
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 !!!!
@Curt Christensen If You think so i suggest You to visit adult/porn Web sites :-) rather than RUclips ... :-) of course i like girls, too ... but here we're talking about music and this cover is quite poor, imho .... the original is much better !!! And there are female singers or actresses much hotter than Bananarama, in any case !
Funny thing is, this is actually a cover. It was originally by Shocking Blue and was a number one hit about 15 or so years before Bananarama covered it (to be fair, Bananarama's version was also a chart topper).
Mine too (although back in those years I was strictly a metalhead and I would not assume my wider musical tastes for anything in the world 😂 Kids can be the silliest sometimes)
WOW...this song never gets old and it really takes me back!!! It was the very first song I ever danced with my 'now' husband all those years ago. He sang it to me as we danced...it was an amazing night! I love the song so much that I just made a cover of it! 💗💗💗
Everytime this song played at a club somewhere back in the 80's you would not be able to find a place on the dance floor. They were hotter than the planet Venus🔥.
This level of classic video deserves to be enjoyed in 4K quality. It's a shame the most iconic videos from the golden age of music are only in 480p to 720p.
I never got a choreography synch vibe from this. It’s 3 beautiful, powerful women, each unique in their own way owning their essence and chanting for the all powerful Venus. Made me a believer. Knowing that they did both together and independently later just secured my kneeling at the alter of bananarama
wwooowww...today, i told my 10yo son , the same thing because, there is a remix of the original "Shocking Blue" version! ........i told him all three of them are great!!!!😁
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)

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.

小学生の頃、運動会の時にこの曲で準備運動させられてたの思い出した笑
なんて言ってるのか分からんけど毎年聞いてたから印象に残ってる
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. ❤😅
Bananarama should be in the rock and roll hall of Fame
AT LEAST, HONEY. AT LEAST.
It’s a cruel bummer.
Agreed
C'mon now, that's just foolish.
The 80s and 90s will always be the best decades of history for me.
Mostly the 80s, goddamn.
You have very low standards, imho. The 80s was a decade that I have done my best to forget.
yeah that's right
80’s are the bom!! 90s too!!
I love watching this, over and over. Timeless.
Remembering running into The Wiz downtown NYC to buy the 12" version of this. Still a favorite!
X2….The Wiz 😂…
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 😂
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.
I love the 80s, but don't forget the original from 1969. Shocking Blue - Venus. Both great.
It isn't of the 80', I feel very very young
For me, what RULES about this video are the different costumes and goddesses and mythical creatures they put together… just BEAUTIFUL
The 80s are the best decade of every century...
I agrre👍
@@mjosesintilde they didn't say the decade was perfect
Agreed so much!
nachoijp - You got that right !
Um... Industrial revolution and cold war/housing market scare (?)
[Edit] I forgot about the AIDS crisis
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.
@@dylry86 No, it's not.
What an alluring trio, Bananarama. Wonderful video, I think I am in love.
Обалденный трек 👍 классно девчата спели....
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.
Two English, one Irish.
@@H0n3yMonstah Yeah, pretty sure Siobhan Fahey is an Irish name. And her sister Maire was really cute as Eileen, in Dexys Midnight Runners' _Come On Eileen_ .
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 !!!!
@Curt Christensen Of course they are (were) very nice and Hot :-) BUT i thought we were talking about music ... !!!
@Curt Christensen If You think so i suggest You to visit adult/porn Web sites :-) rather than RUclips ... :-) of course i like girls, too ... but here we're talking about music and this cover is quite poor, imho .... the original is much better !!! And there are female singers or actresses much hotter than Bananarama, in any case !
Temazo!!!! Hermosa canción , excelente voces y brillante interpretación, Felicitaciones Genias!!!, saludos cordiales desde mí Córdoba Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷
Es la mejor sensación oír está canción
Saludos hermano aqui recordando las canciones que ponia mi padre en mi infancia
Tranqui todavia esta conmigo
Saludos Coterraneo de La Docta 🇦🇷
Sounded great in the clubs great to dance to
perfect group of most beautiful singers at the time -natural well the 80s was
Não importa quanto o tempo passa, essa música nunca vai ser esquecida.
Concordo plenamente.
As duas versões são ótimas
Está canción es muy buena, mucha energía, fuerza y garra.
Incredible song. Gets the feet tapping. One of the most underrated groups in history.
Love this song! One of my favorite songs from the 80s! ❤️💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely...
The Best 80's Bananarama Video Ever 💖😍💖😍😍😍💞💋🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
You do know that it's a cover? Originally done by Shocking Blue.
The three Bananarama ladies always looked so cool.
@@MrCoontastic it's a cover, but is better in my opinion
@@rainluna9765 you're soo right
Arguably Bananarama's signature song. Their hairstyles and attire in this music video is always how I remember them.
Funny thing is, this is actually a cover. It was originally by Shocking Blue and was a number one hit about 15 or so years before Bananarama covered it (to be fair, Bananarama's version was also a chart topper).
Cruel summer thank you. My God some people
I loved this song , glad you have it.
I love this song. The girls were the inspiration for Absolutely Fabulous.
Keren Woodward arguably the most beautiful pop star to have ever graced the earth ♡
Siobhan Fahey A looot prettier!!!!! :)
@@gabrielaxyz9577 nooooo way Keren is way more beautiful, but each to their own.
No way.... Sara for me every single time. Just my personal taste but I think her face is pretty damn perfect!
"Everyone do what he is doing!" Roger
How does he do that?
🌌🛸✨
@@ryandowey11 a
Is it just me, or is the mix they used here worse than the one in American Dad?
*El Generalissimo
Wow, what a great performance by 3 beautiful ladies. Rock on girls.👍👍👍👍
One of my favorite childhood songs 😃
Mine too (although back in those years I was strictly a metalhead and I would not assume my wider musical tastes for anything in the world 😂 Kids can be the silliest sometimes)
Me too ❤私もです‼️🇯🇵
WOW...this song never gets old and it really takes me back!!! It was the very first song I ever danced with my 'now' husband all those years ago. He sang it to me as we danced...it was an amazing night! I love the song so much that I just made a cover of it! 💗💗💗
Banarama always looks like they had a blast making videos
always
They are having so much fun in this video haha
Everytime this song played at a club somewhere back in the 80's you would not be able to find a place on the dance floor. They were hotter than the planet Venus🔥.
Cocaine and hair spray 🤣🤘
@@mototoad1242 And all kinds of hair too, pink, purple, spiked...etc 😄.
Cliff herman. Yea. That's. When. Ii. Started. To. Grab. Some. Booty. The. Other. Dude. All. Ways. Got. Slapped. Too. Much. Fun...
This level of classic video deserves to be enjoyed in 4K quality.
It's a shame the most iconic videos from the golden age of music are only in 480p to 720p.
Love this song, video, and the entire True Confessions album ❤️
I never got a choreography synch vibe from this. It’s 3 beautiful, powerful women, each unique in their own way owning their essence and chanting for the all powerful Venus. Made me a believer. Knowing that they did both together and independently later just secured my kneeling at the alter of bananarama
Estás bellísimas chicas y su magnífico video , lo máximo, lo mejor de lo mejor ❤❤❤😘😘😘
ぼくもどハマリしました😅
ヤバっ…
抜け出せなくなったよ😅
love this song and i love the 80's !!
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!...😚🙁
One of the few songs that you can say the original and the cover are both classics.
wwooowww...today, i told my 10yo son , the same thing because, there is a remix of the original "Shocking Blue" version! ........i told him all three of them are great!!!!😁
@@Stephstar80 you're giving him good education haha.
No, you can't.
@@Stephstar80 what's the 3rd one?
@@trecepesos Agreed. This synth-pop version is tedious and irritating
