"Cruel Summer"
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
Tremendous work! I'm OCD when it comes to hearing and analyzing music, and I would say this sounds 97% like the original! I love it!
+Westsoid2009 - I'd say about 70% original, but still very good. =PSH
“I love the instrumental version of Bananarama’s of Cruel Summer very much indeed i love it”
Thanks, that is literally the best and most accurate cover I have ever heard, ever! Also the description is worth gold. I feel like a have an unprocessed childhood obsession with Karate Kid. This helps.
Every time I hear this song I think of The Karate Kid.
LOL!!
MrSilksoul same
Its reminds me of karate kid i like this song
Especially the scene of Daniel kicking the soccer ball.
I swear
vdublu909, you completely N-A-I-L-E-D this. Good job.
I like this unstrumental version of classic songs. Well done! :)

The reason the woodie version is that way is because if he attempts to sell it with the original keys and notes he would be sued an would not be able to collect royalties.
Vdublu909 you are one talented dude
Awesome :D and thank you
Actually there's an emulation for this called "Emu EIII" as it is written in the description he took the sample - Choir Ahh & Choir Uhh out of it.
So PRO.... the original feels r respected....

thanks again! Actually I would like to see another 90's classic again. Like the 80's much, too but let's head over to the 90's if you can.
Hot summer streets

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), 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), cruel summer
(Leaving me) leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (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), 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), 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 always around
You found yourself
But now you're by yourself, waiting for me
I'm your self
I am the sun (leaving me)
My kinda music!

Where did you get the LinnDrum samples?
MY KIDS WILL HAVE YOUR KIDS GOING INSANE....
I honestly thought Ace of Base did it first until I saw this
A lot of younger people think it's a ace of base song too. Ace of base did a lot of covers. Some of their most popular songs are covers.
Reen bass synth.
2018 anyone?

2019 ! Tim, you need to reveal your full name. This is awesome. You have a very good ear for what they've done in the 80s, which comes across brilliantly in your Juno Dreams tracks.

Amazing - sounds exactly like the original without the vocals :) If you feel like doing another one of their songs, how about 'Robert De Niro's Waiting'? th-cam.com/video/YhWE0we4FaQ/w-d-xo.html
I actually like their first 3 albums better than their 4th more commercial album, although I only heard their 4th album when I was in school.
btw: It is actually better than the original!
Woodie straight joked the whole beat ha fucked up the original song
