We open up our top 10 Shocking Blue songs list with a great track entitled “Out Of Sight, Out of Mine.” The song was released as a single in 1971. It was a top 10 hit in The Netherlands, Norway and Belgium. The video is simple, and a bit eerie. We love it!
Just a few seconds into this song and you will realize how great this band was. Not sure why this group never made it that big in the United States. They do sound a little like Jefferson Airplaneon this track until the psychedelic keyboard sound jumps on in. A very cool tune and even though the video is a bit out of sync, it’s still an enjoyable vi...
Continuing with our top 10 Shocking Blue songs list we turn to their single entitled “Blossom Lady.” The song was released as a single in 1971. The song failed to chart in the United States.

The great Shocking Blue song “Hello Darkness,” was released as a single in 1970. It would later appear as a bonus track on the band’s third album entitled Scorpio’s Dance when it was released on CD. Once again the song was nowhere to be found in the United States but was indeed a big hit in the Netherlands where it reached the number four spot on t...

When you take a listen to this next great track, you are going to shake your head and wonder how you’ve never heard this song. “Never Marry A Railroad Man,” was released in 1970 as a stand alone single. It later appeared on the CD issue of the Shocking Blue album entitled Third Album. (It was actually their fourth). Interestingly,“Never Marry A Rai...
“Love Buzz ,” is an interesting song in the band’s catalog. It was never released as a single, yet it remains on of their most enduring songs. One of the main reasons this song has become such a song of interest is because it was recorded by Nirvanain 1988 and issued as the first single release ever on Sub Pop Records.
We close out our top 10 Shocking Blue songs list with the song that everyone knows. Obviously this was the band’s biggest hit.
