I’d like to cry I use to listen to this with my cousins and friends, they passed away and I’m alone stuck in the memories of the 80’s May god bless them My respect from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I can still picture my mother,so happy & dancing around in the living room with my aunt to this song when I was just a child. I miss everything about this era
@@toneyemerson1299 here in Germany they stil Play music like this in the Radio, we have stations they Play Lot of 70s, 80s and 90s music and we have stations they Play new music and all Kind of Songs.
I was in art school in Philadelphia and this was my favorite song to play on my Walkman as I went to class. I played it to death, played the single and danced around my dorm with my friends. - Elizabeth
The song came out in the summer of 1983, did not go completely unnoticed but did not get huge success. It was in 1984 thanks to the film Karate kid that he began to climb the rankings and achieve the success he deserved
wow Karate Kid what did you just make me remember ... i may sound snobbish ,but i don' t think the todays youth can live a decade of music ,shows and movies like we 80s Generation did ....That was a Decade of Dreams and Fantasy 💙
There’s nothing like the 80s movies and songs like this this song boils my blood even though I wasn’t born in the golden 80s damn I wish I was a young man in those days. ❤️ the 80s
"Cruel Summer" is undoubtedly Bananarama's best song! I remember this song in 1983 and I think it peaked at "number 8" in the charts, but could not understand why this never got to "number 1".
Much better than Taylor Swift's version by a LOOOONG shot. However, "Love In The First Degree" is definitely my favorite from this group, with "Venus" being my second favorite from this group.
Hot summer streets And the pavements are burning I sit around Trying to smile But the air is so heavy and dry Strange voices are saying What did they say Things I can't understand It's too close for comfort This heat has got right out of hand It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone The city is crowded My friends are away And I'm on my own It's too hot to handle So I got to get up and go It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, It's a cruel cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, It's a cruel cruel summer Now you're gone It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, It's a cruel cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one
How could anyone not like this song. A classic in any era Karate Kid And Cobra KAI Brought Me Here! Great beat Love female bands they go just as hard man
Michael Mira-Lopez I’ve seen it man two days ago and there’s nothing like a modern movie that’s based on the golden era 80s they did I really good job with that movie just hope more stuff comes out like this. ❤️ 80s
Ich bin 1984 aus der Realschule entlassen worden und habe danach eine Lehre angefangen.. Es gibt viele Erinnerungen an meine Jugend, Freunde e.t.c. mit diesem tollen Lied. Heute bin ich 54 Jahre alt, Jahrgang 1967.
I miss the 80's. I was 11 years old when this song came out. I had my big jam box from JC Penny's and this song was cranked up. Parachute pants and Nike Hightop shoes on. Styling. 😎

Bendiciones amigo la vida pasa tan rápido,y se llevó la juventud en un chasquido de dedos ,quedan los buenos recuerdos,
Yeah, that's crazy. I lost many. It's a nostalgic song
After you cry, remember to smile for th memories. Be well.
This Song is just another example of just how amazing the 80s really was
It truly is. I miss the 80's.
I love 80’s chick bands
Indeed
THEY WERE! Flew into DATX to see The Jacksons in concert and stayed to see Bananarama 1984.
Fuck yeah dude, their hairstyles were sooooo hot!

Fucking old people
salemst sure buddy just like spinning back to my early 20s
dan flores Fuckin young people.
I'm 67 and still enjoy this awesome beat. 🙌 Who else is listening with me ; 2024? 😊❤️🫶✌️
Cruel Summer is our first success, released in 1983, from the eponymous studio album Bananarama (1984).
Awesome

Beautiful song.
Hi Sarah Brazil and me love you !
The song came out in the summer of 1983, did not go completely unnoticed but did not get huge success. It was in 1984 thanks to the film Karate kid that he began to climb the rankings and achieve the success he deserved
Good things came out of the year 83...including me. The big 40 this year....
I can not hear this song without picturing the Karate Kid.
Ralph Macchio was so cool back then. Ahh the 80s were the best.
he?
wow Karate Kid what did you just make me remember ... i may sound snobbish ,but i don' t think the todays youth can live a decade of music ,shows and movies like we 80s Generation did ....That was a Decade of Dreams and Fantasy 💙
I really love the beat. The little marimba, the twangy guitar riff, the synth bass, it all just works. Masterpiece of pop composition.
Listen to you. Using adgetive like "twangy" 😂
At 72 I Still Dance To This Classic!!! YES AND I CAN STILL KICK ASS DANCING!!!
The 1980s at its very best!!!! Love this song!!!!
the music is awesome but 70s, and 90s are great too.

I wish i was in the 80s, best music, best era
Close,....but the 70`s were better.
This is classic 80'z muzic and its still hot 🔥 😮
There's something painfully satisfying about this beat.
Yes I agray
I agree. And I'm a Metal-head.
I also would prefer not to like it.
@@adamtzsch Lol, too late.

@@SuperFlashDriver TS is a fluff not even music--I will take Bananarama any day --the 80s were best
@@simonanglia3028 Couldn't agree more Simon.
There was just SOO MANY HITS back then!
Absolutely agree
I CANT STOP PLAYING THIS SONG
I know that Taylor Swift was at number one with her Cruel Summer but honestly this Cruel Summer is SO MUCH BETTER
I think Taylor Swift's cruel summer is pretty lame, but I absolutely adore Ace of Base's 2 versions to this one
No Taylor swift is waaaaaaaaaay better
Agree, this is a banger... Did RAH-Band got inspired by the bass in this song for their Messages from the stars?
That’s very right, this cruel summer is a banger!!! Also used in karate kid, a phenomenal film!!! The other one is just overrated nonsense!!
@@sustainabilityben6924im watching cobra Kai s2 ep 10 right now they used this song in the episode
True sound of the era. A certified torch song of the '80's. I was born in the mid '70's. Remember when this dropped. I mean EVERYBODY loved it....
Otro ejemplo de una década plagada de buenos artistas y música de calidad!
Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile
But the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
What did they say
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
Chaos Hog43 thank you Sonic
Gracias! Thank you
This song is the true definition of cadence timing and delivery… I love them still
80s Pop/New Wave at its Finest. A great song for the summer. Thanks London Recordings for sharing this great song.
Me encanta esta canción, la escucho desde que era adolescente. Hoy en día ya no hacen canciones como está.
39 years ago this entered the American charts and was heard for the 1st time in the movie the Karate Kid. Sweet times indeed
How could anyone not like this song. A classic in any era

Will always remember the 80s partying in Hamburg's discos with songs like this...! Absolutely brilliant...😊
In this song, the Roland TR-808 was heard.
Listening to this masterpiece in August aka the last month of this cruel, cruel summer of 2022. Love this song
New wave that just doesn't get any better than this. Nostalgic beautiful smash.
This and Venus are the best songs of these ladies' music. ❤💖

In this song, the Yamaha DX7 internal/ROM-1A/ROM-3A/VRC-101B patch "Bass 2 (Fretless 1/Electric Bass 2)" as the electric fretless bass was heard.
