Hi Nicole.
It hurts me to say this, but I have nothing hurtful to say. I love this song; both versions.
-Shocking Blue: I dig the production. I like the boys silly hair. They had a good vibe. I really dig her mascara and bustier costume.
-Banananananananarama. They only raved this up a little, adding a neat jangly guitar, but it works. They do a good job of masking their limited dance skills. The one in the jeans had nuttin. The other two had this weird snake hands thing going. I did not care for the loin cloth dudes. I thought the devil girl with ridiculous shoulder pads was awesome.
This one is tough. It could go either way. In the end, the chick from Shocking Blue does it for me over the Banana girls..
‘Shocking Blue’ with their sultry singer for the win!
