i was 13 in 1970. didn't have a radio or anything or even a stereo, never mind money to buy records. Knew nothing. But I built a crystal radio (AM) and with just a single ear plug, no amplification or electricity of course, I could get the local AM radio which played pop songs between commercials, and heard this

Me too

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

I truly love the way she sings that song! That voice.

[@televisierewind5404]

This song has been nr 1 three times in Billboard Hot 100. Shocking Blue's original version went to number 1 in february 1970.
Stars on 45 (Starsound) got to number 1 with this song in 1981. And Bananarama's cover peaked at number 1 in september 1986.

[@BCSchmerker]

Haven't encountered the Stars on 45 cover, but I am familiar with the Bananarama synth-pop cover.

Their other hit called Send me a postcard did well too.

Why is that demon shown in the intro?

[@M9JayJayy]

Every last trace of him should be removed from the entire internet word wide!!!!!

[@glen3486]

Because he hosted this episode.

[@chastitywhore6141]

King Charles old buddy?

[@johndean4765]

Seems like there's people out there that love to show film of vile monster Saville. Why not delete that devious child molester?

Even Bananarama had a hit with this smash hit platinum selling song.

[@spursgog835]

They produced some great music. Love Buzz was copied by Nirvana for example.

[@user-cg5xh4hb4u]

❤

[@Ubique2927]

I never knew that Bananarama copied this!

[@michelinevanderstraeten2722]

TOEN WAS IK NOG EEN JONG EN ZOT JUIST ZOALS DE MUZIEK ;

[@AnthonyPierreLucien]

Does she sing live, or is it just a single tracked voice playback?

[@AnthonyPierreLucien]

Well, maybe it's not live, but it's not the take we can hear on the record.

[@ShockingBlueandMariskaVeres]

this is really live. She sings goddess instead of godness.

[@mellow5123]

Too bad Saville is the host.

[@johndean4765]

Glad you just said Saville and not use his first name .

[@johnnyirvin8842]

She's got moves better than Jagger! @2:03

[@gijsmertens6858]

really? no way, sorry

[@robertomoreira1727]

😂

[@alanfox6920]

Bananarama was the definitive version of the song for me.

[@allegra0]

Never .....this is the original and the best.
I do like the Bananarama version but it lacks the punch of Shocking Blue.
