Well, it is a performance, even if it is lip-synched.

Me too. I like the lead singer’s laid back, almost cool delivery. She’s not trying to force it, the way so many of today’s female singers do, butchering songs by doing ‘vocal gymnastics’ just because they can.

I liked their version much better than Bananarama. Just sayin.

Mariska Veres, looked her up on wiki. Her story is kind of sad, never married, no children and died of cancer at 59. Kind of a parable for Western Europe.

In my irreverent youth, we would joke that “Penis was her name”; and “she’s got it!”, not imagining Caitlin Jenner at the time!
