Episode 4: Venus by Shocking Blue


Listen Later

How a Dutch band took an 1840's folk tune to the top of the charts. 

Shocking Blue created a psychedelic rock anthem by following ‘the folk process’.

A famous song from the 1840’s gets re-interpreted over and over again.

It’s no wonder ‘Venus’ sounds so familiar.
