↓ LYRICS ↓
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), cruel summer
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 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), 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), 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
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

Taylor swifts is way better
90s tooooo
yes it was.. you had to be there

Another BLAST FROM THE PAST...It is APRIL 3rd 2024 and who is here with me for this AWESOME smash hit...This is why I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE 80's...👏👏👏
Mad respect to anyone who is still listening to this masterpiece.
Jonathan Cooper. 1984!!!!!! well. summer `84
The college years....so long ago!
I was heading into 9th grade after the summer of '84 --- not a cruel summer but actually kinda fun!
It's crazy, but I love this song more nowadays, than I did back in the 80's!
@@Line-pq5ko --- nostalgia is a very powerful psychological tool --- even mediocre songs from the 80's sound amazing compared to today's drivel
Being a teen in the eighties was awesome. No cell phones, great music, few worries.
I WANT TO GO BACK, NOW.
Other then the Cold War.
We're in a new one anyways lol
AMEN! Best eras of my life…80’s and 90’s!
Absolutely. We survived back in the 80's without phones and life was good
Beautiful song❤ takes me back to the 80's... wonderful time ❤❤❤
I think we all can agree the 80s/90s were the best generations. So happy and thankful was a kid growing up then.
❤
so cool... yet coded ly Cruel LoL
Fact!
80's>90's
*I was Born in 86. I remember this being one of my favorite songs at the skating rink as a kid in 90s. Here I am still jamming this in August of 2023!*

Raised in 90's ❤️
Surviving 20's 💔

2000s is ok but since after 2016 everything jus went down hill bad
@@bowerz1167 fr i miss those great times when the paul brothers were are only problems
Me, a baby to a young boy not realising how great the music was and also liked the 90’s and from there on music has gone to absolute trash, I mean at what point did it go so horribly wrong?
@@eccawarrior around 2004-2008 when all the “big names” rose up. Ya know, Justin Bieber, pretty much every other wannabe rapper kid at the time, all the trash that crawled its way out of the woodworks and found a home in places like the early apps like SoundCloud and stuff.
Best decade ever. Music, movies, and merchandise
This song makes you want to walk around the city on a Sunday afternoon, just enjoying the heat, the city and your own company.
But don't throw bananas at cop cars,,,,LOL. My little brother when he was 7 tossed a water balloon at one,,,,LOL.
For real. I'm in a 80s mood tonight about to listen to west end girls..... Pet shop boys..
With headphones on
And if you’re still in 2024 pray you’re not in a city like New York 😂
I stumbled upon this song and been obsessed with this
Ah as a 52 year old man, I still get a hit from the feel of this song. Pop with a real atmosphere.
Remember when our silliest Pop Songs from the 80s were and are still gems?
Hey! Marke ! I am 52 as well and this song is the first record I bought with my piggy bank. I am listening g to it right now as I sip my morning coffee, getting up at Times to dance…I probably still will 30 years ahead from now. Have a great day!

Now your'e gone... I miss you so much!
It's been a cruel summer ever since.

Am sorry for your lost, nothing can replace our mothers!

And it's still burned in your brain isn't it?
Im making this the official song of summer 2020
Same!!!🙋
Yep
I agree
Wanna cruise to ocean drive in a 911GT under the sun
I second that.
Happy 40th birthday to Cruel Summer. Forty years ago today, Monday June 27, 1983, Cruel Summer was released. This song will stay in my memory forever, because it also embodies my attitude towards life in the 80s and that is what made the great music of that time so special to me. Behind all the energy and joie de vivre you can feel that pain and longing that deep emotions bring with them. The more years go by, the more clearly I hear this longing. She has always been an important part of me and always will be. Thank you Bananarama and thank you Cruel Summer. Congratulations from Berlin, Germany
Watching the karate kid as we speak
Excellent Post
Absolutely! Happy 40th to Bananarama and Cruel Summer. I was going into my junior year in HS in the fall of '83 when this came out in the summer of that year. It was once of the best summers in my life and this song is summer. It was in heavy rotation on MTV back in the day and of course who could forget it was in Karate Kid.
On June 27th, this song was played on the 80s 80s station in Germany. I highly recommend to all lovers of 80s music, but especially to American listeners, as they will probably hear great 80s tracks from Europe that never made it to the radio waves stateside.
@@10.11.9 Cool!!! Thank you for posting!
80 's come back pls.....❤
Love the 80,a🌤️
2080 will come 💃🏻
Summer can indeed be very cruel.
This song reminds me of lonely summer days.
As an 80’s child, I can wholeheartedly say that decade was my favorite to grow up in. This song is pure nostalgia.
Agreed! ❤
IT Was the best. I want to go back.
I bet it was cooler to be their Generation
Am also a 80’s child 48 years old now. Very Nostalgic 😢
Also a 80s child 42 yes young not old I find best decade ever let's all get a time machine and go back to these years 😂😂😂
Best decade ever. Music, movies, and merchandise. Never will we see those wonderful years again but I was glad to be a part of them and will always have the memories.
and girls!
Lucky you guys were apart of the 80’s, no fair.
Great president, too.
Amen best movies fo sho
Johnny Lawrence is Typing...
Still here in..... 2024 ? Living here a cruel summer by your own ? YES ! 💃🕺
This is an amazing 80's Pop song!Quality,Style,Atmosphere,all of them up to the top.
That vibraphone and jangling guitar in the background, talk about HYPNOTIC beat !
The 80's were full of songs like this.
Everything taken for granted.
The magic of the internet allows us to fondly remember a much simpler place and time when good times flowed freely.
Agree ots beautiful melody
A 1980s masterpiece.
What ever happened to this group?
Your right though. 80s master piece
Growing up the 80's! I'm so blessed my mother took plenty of pix because we were just living in the moment, we though it would always be that way and boy were we wrong!
These comments are making me sooo jealous! I was born in the wrong generation! 😢
@@Joeythe UA-cam is the closest thing we have to a Time Machine so at least you get to enjoy some of it. To be honest the 80s/90s were quite dangerous but when you're young that's considered fun....Just a different time and hard to explain....
@@TheHonarable1 don’t have to explain anything and yea movies and UA-cam are the closest thing to get to the 80s and 90s. Also they made the movies back then rly good for example: Jurassic park and Karate kid! 🤩🤩

Extremely underrated band.
So true 💯
This song is nostalgia. There's an ethereal quality to the song. Because the three sing the whole song in unison, not just the chorus, it almost sounds like whispering. This song always sends me.
80's was such a great decade for music, movies!
and people
The best!!
Karate Kid
Absolutely!
golden age
The original cruel summer girls .❤
Bananarama are another iconic example of ladies who didn't have to show all their goodies in order to be awesomely seen and heard? 👑💃🏾❤️🌹
OH MY GOD THIS SONG IS SO NOSTALGIC
Here here oh the memories bringing happy tears to my eyes oh Daniel in karate kid and cobra still ever so handsome 💗💗
cobra kai never dies!
so original
You are right....
one of the best girl bands of it times and tune still sounds as its just been taped in2021 classic
This song was made in 1983. It got lost in tunes like "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, "Africa" by Toto, and "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" by The Culture Club. But it STILL is one of the best songs of that year. It just popped into my head for no reason today and here I am 🙂 That's the power of good music. It never really goes away.
The song never went away. I've heard it every summer for the last 40 years
@@phukfone8428 I dig what you're saying but unless you have their album, the CD, or you listen to it on your Bluetooth, I doubt very seriously you've heard Cruel Summer every summer for the past 40 years 🙂 When I said "Good music never really goes away" that means that good music is deep inside of your psyche and you will never forget it.
@@phukfone8428 Truth. I was living in Australia at the time , and all the radio stations played this song non stop. It was huge . Cruel summer indeed.
there's at least 3 MJ kuts I like more however Cruel Summer I enjoy much more than Billie Jean, so much that it's on my Top 🎱 kuts EVER ;-)
way to many good kuts in '83! the Flashdance kut, Separate Ways, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Sweet Dreams, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Too Shy, DAMN
This song ate the 80s and left no crumbs behind.
1980s , The best era that humanity has ever lived 👍
I was 12 in 1983 when this came out. Still listening to it in Dec 2022. So many good memories. I wish I could go back for a day to relive those good times. Stay blessed everyone. Life is short. Be good to yourself + your loved ones. ❤️🙏🏽
You are one year younger than me. I was 13 in 1983 and had already been in Karate classes for seven years when Karate Kid came out. I lost my shit when that movie came out.
Same I was 11 when this came out and the memories of middle school wearing those jelly sandals and neon jelly bracelets lol💗
Thanks, i feel the same
WOW!!! i only 9 year's old when this came out!! love this song tho!!!
True
Every time I hear this song, it takes me back to the summer of 1983. I swear, I can close my eyes and smell the chlorine in the air from the swimming pools!!
Lmao...yeppers

The One & Only Original
Cruel Summer Best Ever ❤
I grew up in the 90s/early ‘00s, but this song was played as a throwback often on KSFM 102.5 in Sacramento, CA. It reminds me of driving to Arden Mall with my mom, on a hot summer day. The nostalgia hurts so good 🥹
Listening to this song after watching the two seasons of "Cobra Kai" love it...
Fax
I was singing this song in my head every episode and it" Shocked Me" when they played it episode 10 Season 2,SO 80'S!!!
Same here, man :)
Same here.
Especially the ending of season 2 when Johnny is sad thinking about Miguel and a sad version of this song starts playing😓
This came out in Summer of 1984. I was 14yrs old wanting to be grown. 2019 now, 49yrs old and wish I was a kid again in 84. No worries and no bills.
i was 24 .. great time's in84..
thomas mitchell yip
Same ✌️💖🇧🇪
I was 27. Madonna was also gaining popularity. It was amazing.
thomas mitchell I'm also 49 years old and remember how much I fancied banannarama especially the middle one was my favourite. Mostly child hood memories in the 80's....90's was best for pubs and clubs plus the dance music especially early 90's ? I hit the pubs and clubs every weekend ,young ,single and playing the field made this most fun time in my life for obvious reasons . Happy days
Girls of the 80s had something so sensual about them. I'm glad I grew up around them.
Ця пісня змушує хвилювати серця і тіло ,як 20 років тому так 200 в майбутньому
The 80's were just awesome musically
It was awesome everything Paul it was just great just a great decade of Time Forever the 80s
We will never get those days back. Just go on UA-cam and type the 80's music and reminisce
Cell phones are weapons of Mass Destruction to young people
that killer bass line and the cool guitar riff, amazing song period.

@@bwrecks who's here after watching Cobra Kai?
Bass is bad to the bone
I don't think there will be music like this anymore 😢
Nope
This is the real cruel summer
the 80's were the best, no doubt.
I was a kid in the 80s. It was so much fun. break dancing, bicycle groups of kids going to the pubic pool, everyone always outside playing sports or with a radio and waiting on that new 80 hit to come on so you could dance. My sisters making up routines to the music. Parents did worry about where you were just come home before the street light came on. Great fun.
I'm also a 80s kid and growing up in that era was so fun.
Fact check TRUE !! I loved being a teen in the 80's. 💗
AMEN!!
Indoor Roller skating , dancing , break dancing ... now most are obsessed about going outside to take pictures of “ fake fun times” photoshopping, plastic surgery , fans only ,..... fun was Real & Relaxed
Big facts
HS and college both in the ‘80s. It was probably the best time to be young. Music was great and times were good and everybody got along. I miss it.
British music is so consistently good it’s crazy
If you grew up on this kind of music, THEN YOUR CHILDHOOD WAS AWESOME!
@Lee 80s Welcome.
hell yeah!
@@tommyjarvis6536 Better late than never.
I was born in 96 and unfortunatly could not experience the 80s but what a time to be alive it seemed!
Even the many TV music theme songs like Airwolf, StreetHawk, Knight Ryder kicked butt!
One of my all time favorite songs. I truly miss the 80's era. There will never be an era like that ever again
Truly agree
Absolutely, and there will never be another day like today. Every day is a special day because you will never see that day again
......at least not while WE'RE still living.
i so wish i was born in the 80's
Sorry Taylor, this is the real Cruel Summer!!!
real
why? who's Taylor? is there a cover of this pop gem?
The production value of the 80's is just impeccable
Ya we need to tell people to stop remaking this song
It's like, are they going for 'high concept' with the shots of their feet and under the stairs etc, or is it, 'here ladies, have a few drinks and then get out there and have a laugh'? Or somewhere in between
Three London girls making it in the USA in the 80s. Represent. 🏴
Bristol England and 1 from Ireland
Tons of british bands made it hot in the 80s. It was called the 2nd British invasion
Yh I was just going to say The British really did invade the usa music wise. There are tons of usa 80s and before artists I love but in the 80s after Madonna & Jackson, the best music is what The Brits took
Ha ha Siobhan is Irish.
@@peterstayne3765tnx correct Peter. 🇮🇪
This song has improved with age.
One of my favourite songs ever. ❤
Ahhh, the 80's...the absolute best times of pure meaningful music.
Scott de Carrillo yes my friend and thanks to MTV of that time. And UA-cam😍 of this time we can enjoy the memories
2019
The 70s & 80s were the best for popular music, and were a special time for those of us fortunate to grow up during those decades.
Yup. Best music ever made.
TodayWasAGoodDay9 The song writing was so good.
so right
Still listening in January 2024, enjoying this memory of "out-of-hand heat" and waiting for the warm weather. It's freezing out there this morning!
it's a miracle...here I have VH1 on cable, but they do not broadcast in HD...this seems like it was filmed early morning today, the girls look gorgeous
As a metalhead, I can say without shame that I love this song. The structure, the chord changes, the backing vocals, everything is on point.
To me, the best part is the simplicity. The music video could have been made for a few grand, the dancing isn't spectacular (yet seems real), and the women are clearly having fun. As a bonus to a metalhead, check out Cry for the Earth Bounds by Ensiferum if you never have. ;)
Same without shame
Same. It's got serious ABBA vibes.
Same
Another metalhead here. I fully agree with you! I have the same with other classic songs like Obsession from Animotion or Walk like a Egyptian from The Bangles. Great songs!
I was born in Poland in 86' and I remember Bananarama being huge in Europe. We still have their cassettes at my parents house where I am for Christmas right now. Merry Everything everyone.
Lmao ❤❤lots of love no more cruel summers
What was Poland like in the 80s?
Amazin I stumbled on my brothers cassettes a few years back 👍
@@RandomSkyeRosesWell, the 80s weren't really pretty in the USSR and their allies. Wage and economic stagnation, an influx of American/Western European goods that were sold on black markets and expensive as hell. The music was good though.
This shit is timeless... Absolute dope tune....What I would do to go back to this time when the world was normal😭😭😭

Yep! Basically.
The 80's produced the best feel good pop music, not to mention the most magical music.
80s music was produced in an open audio sound with lots of dynamics (hard versus soft sounds). They already used digital audio which were recorded in an actual room, where as these days the audio never leaves the computer which is the cause of the lack of high dynamics and makes for a tiresome sound image where everything is competing.
I mean idk the 70s started the psychedelic thing so 80s is a fresher feel on a slightly psychedelic funky pop
Thats funny, I grew up and feel the same way about the sixties.
@@jamesofalo6247 They say every generation feels the decade of their youth was the best. Yet the 80''s had genuinely MAGICAL music, TV and movies.
@@KNOWHOPE72 The 60s were The Beatles, the all time leader in record sales. Why because there still selling music 50 + years after they broke up. Add to that the Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix who set the standard for modern electric guitarists, Janis Joplin.
Not to mention the great R&B & soul artists & groups.
I love the 80s but please no comparison with the 60s.

80 babies are the last of the normal people. I genuinely believe that
You are absolutely correct!!!
Society's definitely been going downhill ever since. Look where we're at now.
@@bigtechisbigbrother8690 Why? Human rights is the best it’s ever been, medicine has never been so advanced, we are shifting from petroleum and oil to electrical. The only thing that sucks (as a young person) is the house crisis.
What should I be sad about? Why was it better in your day? I’d genuinely like to know
@@bigtechisbigbrother8690 The 80’s was notorious for predators that groomed children, the aids epidemic, the unemployment crisis and the early 1980’s was marked by a serve global economic recession that peaked at 14.76% and then subsequently fell to 1.10%. I believe everyone thinks the time around their childhood was the best. I remember the 2000’s which was amazing and makes me feel bad for kids born today but I’m sure that it had its problems too.
I’m sure something as normal as gay marriage was a controversial thing for you guys but that’s completely normal to us. Maybe in 10-20 years they’ll be speaking about polyamory which is a foreign concept for me but might not be for them. I think it’s just the path we must all endure as society is structured for the young and the elderly don’t always understand.
@@joshuaadams6565 Suicide rates, drug abuse, alcoholism, metal illness, all through the roof. People have to take anti-depressants just to get through the day. No one gets married anymore, men and women hate each other. Division and hostility throughout society, worse than ever before. A government run by clowns and criminals, massive corruption and incompetence at every level of society. Popular culture is idiotic garbage with no creativity whatsoever. World War 3 is a far greater likelihood now than in the Cold War. And you think things are better now? What planet do you live on? You're so out of touch it's like you're not even perceiving reality. Talk about living in denial. Are you a little kid? Sniffing glue maybe?
I do not think people realize how much this song bumps the musical arrangement is sneaky funky

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss man. It was some good times. Really takes us durring a time when we had no worries amd good times.

Mon adolescence..... comme j ai aimé ce morceau et ce groupe a l époque...
I was at the ripe old age of Negative -9 when this came out and, ladies, this is a masterpiece! Don't stop! 😂❤😊
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them..
Same here! And with some early to mid 90’s.
I completely concur! Growing up in the 80s and early 90s was actually really awesome! How very nice and 'simple' most things were back in those days (esp. pop and rock music-wise)! Such a very happy and careless childhood I had!❤ Thank you, Universe!!!
Same
Wasn't this song outted in 99/00??
The 80s were just so surreal and carefree. Lots of fun, great music and memories!!
Yes they were😐
I was space truckin in the 80's,
Yes!
Well they weren’t exactly “carefree”. The was a major economic recession, renewed Cold War tensions, the AIDS epidemic, etc. But a lot of art at the time had a very “live for today” attitude, because any day could be your last.
Carefree for you maybe ;)
Ghostbusterssss 2024!
The 80's were tough for me. I was so unhappy that music was my only escape. Só I am grateful for songs like this. They kept me alive
It was a mix of good and bad memories, but yeah the music was an escape listening to the top songs on a radio in my bedroom.
I'm glad you survived, no one should be cruel to another.
it was rough for me too. Was growing up, tough home life (mom was abusive), real hard time in school with kids teasing me incessantly... BUT.... I could stay out after dark for while, walk to the corner store at dark by myself, play outside, didn't have video games or cell phones, great music and TV. So despite all the badness I had in the 1980s, I still look back on it fondly for those things and wish I'd realized back then how great it was & that they'd go.
Yeah we got through it with massive underage drinking

I'm sure it's been said before. But, if you didn't go to high school in the 80s before or after. You lost out. Only the people who were there understand. Imagine happiness. We were all happy. Even the people who weren't happy were actually happy.
Lots of 'Punk' but Before Emo's! Yeah!
U r Correct they don't understand. i tell my kids this.
Amen
The 80s. What a decade. I'm 64 & still listening to this fabulous music.
DITTO AND I AM A 63 YEAR OLD BLACK WOMAN AND I STILL LISTEN TO THIS IN MY CAR ON FULL BLAST. I WAS 26 AND PREGNANT WITH MY SECOND DAUGHTER WHEN THIS CAME OUT. THAT SUMMER WAS HOT AND MY EX HUSBAND WOULD LAUGH AT ME WHEN I WOULD DANCE AROUND THE HOUSE TO THIS ON A HOT DAY .....LOL
What the hell else would you listen to brother? this modern day filtered crap. When I say filtered well filtered.
I'm 26 and I mostly listen to 80s songs.
This Song is still a timeless summer song!
I change the lyrics to COOL COOL Summer
the xylophone makes it cool
Summer, not only summer: I'm playing this song in the dead of winter so I can get up and dance, and pray for the whole world. The whole universe. Note to Putin': get off your ego, and sit up and fly right
@@lynnbaker9264 the instruments and their voices harmonizing is so amazing!
Fo real
Flash back🔥Just watched outsiders and brought back memories 80’s nostalgia never can forget that era.. The vibes, people, friendships, hangouts and sports and just rivalries, heck I even miss the bullies lol😂 good ole fun…😂🔥🔥🔥
I love the '80's!!!! ❤❤❤❤
This song has something poignantly mystical and melancholy longing about it. The gray-blue fading light in the big city backdrop at 2:10 reinforces this enchanting impression.
bro its the 80s in general, theres something different about this time period and i dont know what it is. It was some sort of transition? I dont know but sometimes i get overwhelmed but looking at pictures and videos of the time. Many MANY people share the same feelings, even if they werent alive at this time. It was truly special, maybe one of if not the more significant point in history. I am truly blessed to have been able to experience it,
it was really hot that summer too. kinda slowed everything down and made it surreal. then this song came out. i still remember wiping sweat of my shoulder wearing a wife beater like WTF. the a year or 2 later came game 6. magic
