godness

A term popularized by the song Venus, written by the Shocking Blue. Mariska Veres, the lead singer of the band spoke little English upon the recording of the song, and because of this she pronounced "goddess" as "godness."

A godness on a mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame,
The summit of beauty and love,
And Venus was her name.

-Venus, by The Shocking Blue
