↓ 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

The 1980's was just so colorful, magical and amazing!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
no it was full of coke, aids and the constant threat of nuclear war
Taylor swifts is way better
90s tooooo
yes it was.. you had to be there
@@Kenzieplayz swift sucks
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
I am 69 and mourn for the loss of my youth and the great music that was produced back in the day.
Don't be sad it's over, be happy that it happened.
This is the only cruel summer! I’ll ever know!! 😊
80's was such a great decade for music, movies!
and people
The best!!
Karate Kid
Absolutely!
golden age
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
Great girl band.
2024. I am 68.
Yes. This is what music was intended to be !
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Ace of Base's cover is just as good, they stayed true to the original but made it their own.
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!
Me born in 80's ❤️
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.
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
Mom, I was 10 in 1984 and I remember us going to the movie theaters back in the day and watching Karate Kid together. Every time I hear this song I think of you.
Now your'e gone... I miss you so much!
It's been a cruel summer ever since.
Aww Brenda! 😞
Am sorry for your lost, nothing can replace our mothers!
May she Rest In Peace.
💔❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤
Sorry
1980 people: The future will be awesome!
2020 people: I want to go back to the 80s.
Lmaoo so true 😆 80’s kid here 🙋🏻♀️
2000s: the iPod is so cool
1980s: we already had the Walkman
true
Definitely.
I was 2 , but yes take me back to the 80s 😟
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...👏👏👏
Yes still here,the sun was always shining in the 80s great bands,try kc&the sunshine band give it up,that song just brightens my day
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
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 😂😂😂
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
Everytime someone hits the 👍 , I'm coming back to listen. 🌞
Let me see it
Well, get your ass back here, then. 😉
Here!
who's here in 2024,and still missing the 80's and 90's song???
I swear

Слушают и в России
There's already a bunch of threads here begging for likes in 2024. Move on.
Me 🖐🏼
I remember being a kid in the 80’s hearing this in the Karate Kid!!!!!!
Wow !!!! Time flies🙃
And again in Cobra Kai.
I just watched Karate Kid the other day. I was 8 yrs old in ‘83, damn I miss it
The scene when karate kid was at soccer practice lol mannnnnn i got the same exact memory!!!!!!! Stuck in my mind forever, pure classic
@@user-cm7tg2ns6pfootball*
2003 is as far back now as 1983 was in 2003 😮
The 80's were such a fun time to grow up. No internet, no phones, no social media....we were so happy.
Totally agree..I grew up in the 60's...even better!
80's was so soft on the skin
girls turned me down in the 80's
Yes, absolutely!
Gone but never forgotten..80s and 90s will forever live on with us.
Congratulations to these ladies, not too many groups own a season every single time it comes about.
Yaaaasss!!!
Fantastic 80s, the girls were just natural and beautiful.
Not covered in tats, no cats arse expressions on their faces and not taking photos of themselves to boost their insecurities.
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
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 brings back the eternity happy feelings I sensed, way back in the 80s, now transformed to Painful Nostalgia, of a Magical Time long gone.
Where has my life gone? Now it's a cruel time full of pain that won't go away. I suppose I got my 80s music to survive it all.
We had the best music. Long live the 80s in whatever form!
This
Couldn't agree more! My girlfriend and I broke up in the summer of 86. Each time I listen to this song, especially the line that says, "leaving me here on my own....now you're gone," it brings tears to my eyes. But the song also helps me reflect on the great times we spent together, and the fact that I had a great as a teenager in the 80s. It makes me feel nostalgic and euphoric.
Right on. 👍
I WAS 18 YEARS OLD WHEN IT WAS RELEASED BACK IN 1984. 40 YEARS LATER, I STLL LOVE, LIKE AND ADORE THAT BANANARAMA HIT.❤❤🇨🇾🇨🇾👍👍
Listen to Norte Sidin by woodie
Pretty sure it was '83
I would have been 16 in 84

Same here I was 18 when this song was released still love Bananarama ❤😊
the 80's were the best, no doubt.
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.

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!

1984 was one of the best years of my life! Wish i could back but im sure everyone ne in the comments would too.
No thanx. That's the year i was born😔
I got married December 1984. Still married today. Great year for music and love!🙂
Needs to be played at least once every summer, cruel or not.
I blare it on the first day of summer ☀️
like during this hot summer, u mean

Dam straight 80s rock back then. That's why i.m building a TIME MACHINE u with Me.😊
❤❤❤ best ❤❤❤
Man oh man these memories come flooding back
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!
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!

Top ces années 🎉🎉
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 RUclips and type the 80's music and reminisce

one of the best girl bands of it times and tune still sounds as its just been taped in2021 classic

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 ;)
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
It's been, over 41 years this song, is still standing local known and international respected.
God bless
Thank you 💕...
Girls of the 80s had something so sensual about them. I'm glad I grew up around them.

Yep! Basically.
A 1980s masterpiece.
What ever happened to this group?
Your right though. 80s master piece
All of these 80s songs make me feel incredibly nostalgic, but usually the videos are shot in LA or London or on a set or whatever. This one is 10 times better, and worse, for me because it's New York. I was walking these same streets at the time this song came out.
Oh yes it's good to like funk music !
Extremely underrated band.
So true 💯
The 80s totally rocked. The best time on the planet for music.
and movies
No dispute about that.
@John Sluder, it seems like music back then embraced family, hope and opportunity. We had a taste of technology but we didn't choke on it like we do today. We had a sense of unity until smartphones took over. It's really sad. Human emotion is getting replaced by social media and then we wonder why our music no longer has life.
John Dyer c’est clair !
100% agree. 80s music is my favorite.
*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!*
Bananarama are another iconic example of ladies who didn't have to show all their goodies in order to be awesomely seen and heard? 👑💃🏾❤️🌹
I was 61 in 1984 and still appreciated great music.
that would mean you are 101 today😳
WOW
Bruh you're dead
You're lying about your age here.
And I was 84 back in 61..

Yes and somehow this song was NOT on the soundtrack album. I have it. Every time i hear this kick on Karate Kid comes straight to mind and Daniel is riding his bike to H.S.
Also in Cobra Kai season 2 when they go back to school

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!!!

Remember this song when I lived in Des Moines, Iowa. I was traveling for my career and when it came on the radio, I loved hearing this music. I was 25 years old back in those days. Now I'm 65. Oh my gosh, where did the time go?
Beautiful song❤ takes me back to the 80's... wonderful time ❤❤❤
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

Good God! The Eighties were beyond fantastic!!!!!!
Fantastic song! Brings back so much childhood memories.❤ Thank you Bananarama!
Being a teen in the 80's would've been heaven
It was the best!
it was, without a doubt.
@@robmelstanek2358 It was the BEST and if i could go back I would but would never trade my kids in, I would take them with me:)
Yeah if u weren’t colored or lgbtq
Look up what minimum wage was
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
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 🥹
The One & Only Original
Cruel Summer Best Ever ❤
This is a masterpiece! Their voices are so pleasant
Yet powerful!
My type of women.
I think they are so underrated. They have wonderful voices.
Less than zero or desperately seeking Susan
Song 5, dancing 0, attitude 10. Madonna changed everything w the choreographed dancing clips

Nothing like the 80's music 🎵
I don't think there will be music like this anymore 😢
Nope
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.
