The song goes:
"Goddess on the mountain top
burning like a silver flame.
The goddess of beauty and love
And Venus was her name.
She's got it.
Yeah baby she's got it........"
The 80's version was done by Bananrama...good group.
The also used the song for hocking the Venus Razor.
I have a bet with a friend that it was a male on the lead vocal and he says it was a female. Any input on this is much appreciated. tyvm.

It was originally sung by Shocking Blue, and the lead vocal was, indeed, female (albeit with a husky voice).

Fred de Wilde (vocals)
Klaasje van der Wal (bass guitar)
Cor(nelius) van der Beek (d. April 2, 1998; drums)
