[@dkalbryte6774]

Easily

Top 100 comon

[@alexeilindes7507]

When you have an infectious groove that is quite possibly a pandemic like cruel summer and you unleash it to the world forever. It will never die.

[@fringbabyross4718]

I remember this on MTV in the 80’s. I’m 46 now and have a 7 year old son. He absolutely loves this song !

[@robbiethepict2783]

I'm 53 and this song still makes me smile.

[@kathyf1964]

I’m 59 and I love this song!!!!

[@covidflinstone3710]

Of course it does! It gives you that feeling that only an 80s masterpiece can I am going to Howard Jones & ABC in a few days and then Lost 80s Live. We go to Lost 80s Live every year. This show features 12 to 14 80 s acts all in one night. The English Beat , Wang Chung, and the aromatics are just some of the acts that will perform

[@covidflinstone3710]

Not the aromatics but the Romantics. I don't like auto correct

Such a groovy tune from the 80's...They still sound amazing close to 40 years later.

these women held up over the years hats off to them and a great performance!!! I wish i was at this concert!!!

[@Pierpaolo-ge4vt]

I'm 57 now..I'm a Dj since 1979..these girls were and still are One-Of-A Kind , their sound ruled the best part of the 80's. I still spin this record with pride and people storm the dance floor as ever. Bananarama, girls, God bless you all .

[@simons5193]

What a great song. It never gets old. I love it. Brings back many memories!!

[@elland37]

A staple of the 80's and will never be out of date. Great performance by the band as well.

[@Mojokiss]

some songs are timeless

[@AbleAnderson]

Play this song for someone that's never heard of the group and never heard the song before and they're blown away; it's just a fantastic track, has been for decades

[@jamesdojr]

They still sound as good as the recording. Awesome!

Total ear candy...just..i can't even express quite how deep this song goes into my soul...3 minutes of pure pop perfection.

[@justinrudolf714]

Watching the original music video from all those years ago, these ladies had the IT factor. It’s an unbelievably great song and their energy and appeal was and still is just incredible. Glad they returned and are still so on top of their game.

[@christinabeasley]

They sound really fantastic!💖

Siobhan always stole the show.. She had the look..The smile and stage presence… No offence to the others but she stood out.

[@garikaichuru160]

I think that's certainly your personal view coz they are all beautiful in their own way and compliment each other perfectly.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

Something about this song always gets my attention. I think if they ever came around here in concert, I would have to go, if only just to see them live do this song.

CRUEL SUMMER ....a Beautiful song from the Movie KARATE KID 1 ... I LOVE 80´s

[@GiovanniSartorelli]

Love 80' Forever! I adore this song.

[@calbudd2838]

I grew up with this music. These ladies not only still look fantastic, they still sound awesome. 👏

[@jeffreywolfe1]

This song ruled the airwaves -- especially in the NYC metro area -- back in, when was it, 1984? WLIR broke it. Even WPLJ had to get on the bandwagon. Simply a great song from the greatest, most creative musical/film era, ever! Coming of age in the late 70s/80s was a gift beyond measure. Wisdom of a 60 year old, here. Passing all this down to my two young children.

[@XombiQilla]

I miss WLRI. Fellow NYer here. Cheers!

[@og_sane]

i'm only turning 29 tomorrow, but damn...they are some fine ladies 🤗. And this song is one of the best ever! 80's for ever!

[@ChrisStrobel]

It took me 28 years to figure out that my favorite member of Bananarama and my favorite member of Shakespears Sister are the same person.

[@simonedgbaston]

I knew all along Siobhan is mine 😂

[@gaynorpatterson2915]

Shakespeare sister was the shit.

[@monkeytail1968]

She’s the rock star of both groups.

Magic when the three are together...

[@catherinetimmerman9107]

In July 2012, my fiancé died very unexpectedly. I had just lost my beloved Daddy 5 months earlier so I was already deep in the throes of grief. The first time I heard this song after Jason died, I had to pull over because I was crying soooo hard, I couldn’t drive. Two weeks after Jason died, a child from my very first class was murdered in a drug deal gone bad. He was only 17. That was definitely a cruel summer.

[@akhillong4068]

These three have been doing their thing for 40 years !

[@dkalbryte6774]

Takes me back to that magic summer when i was 12. It's a classic even today - summer days; sun and cruising by the beach 🌴 💙💙💙 ok, I wasn't driving lol

[@Hello-Stoiko]

Middle school for me, when this song was released, certainly not the best time for me, but this song reminds me of home when we weren’t allowed to watch tv and could only listen to the radio, so basically we listened to 80s song and listened to baseball games ❤ these women look fabulous

[@ChadWalker-jx9jt]

Bananarama so good

[@miltiadiskyvernitis]

A modern sound for a classic. Very nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@fillo1971]

Loro indimenticabili assolutamente le mie le nostre bellissime ragazze adesso delle stupende donne❤, di una gioventù ricca di soddisfazioni e di spensieratezza. Anni indimenticabili. Quell'attacco quel rif di chitarra la mia colonna sonora di una miriade di miei coetanei e non. Grazie infinite per la vostra grande musica. La vostra band formidabile e se fosse quella orifinale di quel periodo allora tutto prende un'altra piega di ancor più bellezza e stima unica per tutti voi❤. Grazie grazie grazie❤

[@loribijou]

my fav summer song as a kid im soooo lucky i grew up in the 80s you cant beat it. nothing will unless we bring the vibe back. and they look phenomenal!!! Im so happy to see!

Absolute lie!

[@awm8221]

It has a more powerful introduction than the original but that’s all.

[@joerusso4219]

Its the same song with a different intro, pretty much sounds like they are lip syncing or mixing their voices with a playback recording.

[@mickeygarlock4611]

That's because of maturity of voice and equipment is tons better.

[@TheBroDotTV]

That’s a no from me. The original was raw. I hate live drumming ruins the vibe of the original tracks.
