I always heard that Shocking Blue didn't speak a lick of English.. ..and that they were just singing this song phonetically.  Would be surprising as the Dutch are usually proficient. They were probably too stoned. 😀 |

The story probably stems from this: Van Leeuwen originally miswrote the line "...the goddess on the mountain top..." as "...the godness on the mountain top...", so Veres sang it this way on the hit recording of the song. This was corrected in later versions
Also... The bassist died last week.  |
