    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

      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.

    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.

    Strange voices are saying
    Things I can't understand
    It's too close for comfort
    This heat has got

    It's a cruel, cruel summer
    Leaving me here on my own
    It's a cruel, cruel summer
    Now you're gone

      @Onika🦄 We used to have to wait to hear our favorite songs come on the radio or MTV, so it was a build up of anticipation. My siblings and I would be so excited when they would FINALLY play the song we'd been waiting on... Instant gratification of just typing it into UA-cam has no build up. We'd even bet which ones we'd hear first. It may sound silly, but there was a level of excitement that doesn't exist anymore. We might be in the middle of a sentence when it came on, and we'd stop and cheer before "cranking it up" (turning it up loudly) and jamming out to it. Although sometimes I'd record it when it played on the radio or even off the TV with my big ol' boom box, but you could only afford so many blank cassettes at a time so you had to pick and choose which songs you wanted the most.
      Then you had to save your allowance to buy an album on a cassette tape (if you wanted quality sound) so you had to decide what you wanted the most. You could collaborate with your friends and siblings as to which tapes you were going to buy so you could trade back and forth. What was even better about that was when you bought a tape because of one or two songs and discovered they were often not even the best songs and that there were ones way better on that album that just never made it to the radio. I loved that.
      Saturdays were the best. We'd wake up and watch some cartoons until we got bored. We couldn't just call an Uber or course, so we rode our bikes everywhere. No pads or helmets, and still never any seriously injuries. Just a skinned knee here and there... You'd just suck it up and keep riding.
      The malls were amazing. They were almost like our version of the internet. You put your bike in a bike rack and walk around, maybe see another group of friends and maybe they'd join yours, or maybe you'd just talk for a bit and your groups would go back to roaming around in their respective directions. If you were alone, it wouldn't take long for you to hook up with some friends if that's what you wanted. I'd have to be careful who I'd pick because I wasn't really a troublemaker, so I'd avoid the ones who egged houses and stuff and find just the right person or group for me. It would also depend on my mood. Sometimes you'd be looking for someone specific, and may or may not find them. If you did, they may or may not end up joining your pack or you join with theirs. Sometimes your groups would merge... You never knew until it happened. Every moment was like a surprise. Then you'd see a music store in the mall or something, stop in and maybe get that cassette tape you've been wanting... Maybe you stop at a video rental place and carefully browse, because if you got something that sucked, you were stuck with it. You'd have to read the boxes and figure out if it was as interesting as it sounded, or you could rent a "for sure" winner which you've already seen, like Star Wars or something. Then go back to biking, bag of movies tied to your handlebars. There was always something that would happen on the way home for us, like find a construction site with no workers and explore until you found something cool to play with or got chased out, or if you were lucky enough to grow up in Florida like me (it didn't suck back then) you could go to the local swamp patch and see what you could find. My brother once found an old rusted sword blade that turned out to be from Spanish Explorers. Then you may go back to your house and pop in one of those movies and make stovetop popcorn in two or three giant bowls. If you don't know what stovetop popcorn is, you should look it up. It's really fun to make. It was like a disposable aluminum pan with flat aluminum top that would expand as it popped, like a balloon. If the movie sucked, you and your friends could laugh and make fun of it the whole time. If it was great, you tell everyone about it the next day. When the movies were done, we may go back out or we may have played our Atari 2600 games... Cheesy by today's standards, but to us it was a new thing, fun and challenging.
      Phones weren't for walking around with so everyone could contact you all the time. They we're on cords which were attached to the wall, and if you were on it, so we're you- lol. Phone calls were more like "let's meet at..." or telling someone about something, or if you hit puberty, it was for nervously and awkwardly flirting... Or at least attempting it. Texting is easy. It's not so easy when you have a crush and you're trying not to sound like a dork. You didn't have time to think and erase mistakes, so it's very different. Like I said, we had to work or wait for almost everything so it somehow made it all the more satisfying. I think that's what I miss the most. I haven't felt that joy in a very long time.
      Now we need phones with us everywhere we go... it's just the way the world has gone, and that's cool. But back then, it was different. Then you could go have fun without checking your phone. You lived in the moment and place you were in, and the people you were with. You could also make up excuses to your parents as to why you're late or where you'd been and if you were smart, they couldn't confirm their suspicion if they thought you were lying. If they can't prove it, they can't punish you. No cameras everywhere, no clicking "location"... Parents had to trust you somewhat and you had to know how to navigate your neighborhood.
      I don't know if you want me to go on, because I certainly could -lol. But it was the best. If I could go back, I would in a heartbeat. I'd maybe miss the internet and modern day video games to a point (although at the time, you aren't going to miss what didn't exist) but leaving all that behind would be a small price to pay for the wonders of the 80's.
