@@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 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
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 💙
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
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.
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
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
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. 😎
I believe I saw Bananarama open for Thompson Twins once --and even though I always saw this tune as just a step above disco, it's one of my favorites from that time.
0:36 Johnny and the boys checking out the motorcycle 2:13 Cobra Kai devizes their plan to get Daniel on the soccer field. 2:40 Daniel yells this school sucks after getting kicked off field.
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!
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

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.
How could anyone not like this song. A classic in any era

I cant help but think of Karate Kid every time i hear this song now.
Fucking old people

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?

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!!!
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

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
80s Pop/New Wave at its Finest. A great song for the summer. Thanks London Recordings for sharing this great song.
This song is the true definition of cadence timing and delivery… I love them still

This is one of the best songs of any decade in my opinion ever made! Awesome beat!!!!!!

There was just SOO MANY HITS back then!
Absolutely agree
This is my one and only cruel summer ❤️❤️
New wave that just doesn't get any better than this. Nostalgic beautiful smash.
Happy days in The Spinning Wheel at Paignton with my good friend Greg... yup 84 was a great year
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
ME TOO

Did they also play this on Stranger Things?
This and Venus are the best songs of these ladies' music. ❤💖
Aimee you will live forever. I love you my sister. I wish you were still here.
Love this song! First time I heard it was on the movie The Karate Kid. Oh the memories!
Yeah Daniel on bike in front of a school bus ending with him booted off soccer tryouts...lol
Listening to this masterpiece in August aka the last month of this cruel, cruel summer of 2022. Love this song
Love this song. There is so much going on here.
There's a movie coming out in August called "Summer of 84" I caught the advanced screening and got hooked on this song.
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
2024 love this song , from mexico 🇲🇽🍾
THEY WERE(and still are, I guess----they're still around) GREAT, AND THIS IS MY FAVORITE LP OF THEIRS. EVERY TRACK IS A CLASSIC. HOORAY FOR THE 80s!
MASTERPIECE! Classic!
Excelente cancion de bananarama muy clasica de los ochentas...
I'm 437 yrs old now. I remember being a young teen listening to this back in 1682 at the local Pizzaria playing the Pac Man Arcade. 😊
Welcome to 2024, young time traveler. I hope this century is to your liking.
I'm 8 and I love this song thanks mom
Are you 9 now?
This was 2 years ago, that would make the person 10
Cheers I'll agree to that bro
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....
Still listening to those beautiful Queens. I play them like twice or more every week
This is fantastic . 1980's written right through it
I love this song and it’s still a cruel summer in 2018!!!!
2022 and still the same haha
2023 and I want to shove explosives up my ass
the sound in this song can bring my mind back to the mid 80's more than anything else !
Not this typical song I would love but it's got a reggae influence that hooked me. Love it!
Reggae- Influence?
It's 1985 again, and I'm 10yrs old in Eldridge, Iowa!!!! HOLY SHIT!! I grew up too fast!!
Tanya Jones I was 8 years old in KC......GOOD TIMES!!!!
that song was released in 1984
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
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.
Great beat Love female bands they go just as hard man
My favorite Bananarama song
Will always remember the 80s partying in Hamburg's discos with songs like this...! Absolutely brilliant...😊
Love this song.
What a great song!!Thank you very much for uploading!
Still love this song in 2020! And can't wait for cobra kai season 3!!
This is classic 80'z muzic and its still hot 🔥 😮
In this song, the Roland TR-808 was heard.
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
This beat is absolute fire
Great melody , and rhythm and lyrics...😊 Those songs were truly cool .
