Venus

Well the stars were still out this morning as I was on my way in. Guess even the sun doesn't want to be up quite this early when it's this chilly either.

This made me think of a few other songs, Stars (two different songs with the same title) from Lacuna Coil and Switchfoot, but I figured it was about time I brought some cheese in on the act.

The brightest star in the morning is usually the planet Venus (also sometimes referred to as the morning or evening star) so that is where today's inspiration comes from. Useless fact of the day, Venus is also the planet with the hottest average surface temperature, despite not being the closest to the sun.

Although Bananarama made this song popular, "Venus" was originally written by The Shocking Blue.

Goddess on a mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
Summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wow !

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire

Venus

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
Wow !

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire

Venus was her name

Yeah, baby, she's got it...

hehehee... yup, it's cheesy but you just gotta love it. :)
