A GODDESS ON

 A MOUNTAIN TOP
WAS BURNING LIKE 

A SILVER FLAME

THE SUMMIT OF 

BEAUTY OF LOVE
AND VENUS 

WAS HER NAME

 

Shocking Blue 

was a Dutch 

rock band 

formed

 in The Hague 

in 1967. 

They were part

 of the Nederbeat movement

 in the Netherlands.

 The band had a string 

of hit songs during

 the counterculture movement

 of the 1960s 

and early 1970s, 

including 

"Send Me a Postcard" 

and

 "Venus", 

which became their 

biggest hit

 and reached number one

 on the U.S. 

Billboard Hot 100 

and many other countries 

during 1969 

and 1970. 

The band sold 

13 million records

but disbanded in 1974.

 Together with

 Golden Earring 

and the 

George Baker Selection, 

they are considered

 the most successful 

Nederbeat band, 

because their best hits

 charted abroad 

and especially in 

the United States.
