  • Cruel Summer 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 sayin' (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
    Leavin' 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
    Leavin' me here on my own
    It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
    Now you're gone
    Gonna feel only it was
    It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
    (Leavin' me) leavin' 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
    (Leavin' me) leavin' 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
    (Leavin' me) leavin' 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...

      Yeah I hate the nasty faces they pull today trying to look moody and full of attitude, or sticking their tongues out like Jesy Nelson and Miley cyrus.
      Back then popstars just sang the songs, enjoyed themselves with a bit of dancing and weren't dressing like hookers and the music was better.

    What I love about Bananarama is they are always dressed respectful and don't act slutty and their music doesn't need swearing or anything they are just down to earth girls no fancy hair styles or covered in make up they are just being themselves

    Oh man I'm in love with these girls, stunningly beautiful every one of them and I loved their style too. They made the 80s amazing. I wish I could have been the boy they were all crazy about. Everyone has a fantasy and these three gems were mine.

      I used to make mix tapes for friends then. The only thing any of them ever asked for was a lot of “Bananarama”. I remember seeing them that year, my friends and I were dancing in the balcony the entire concert.

    I never understood the appeal of Bananarama except that they are (and still are) good looking. Other than that, they are like friends singing karaoke together at a bar. Fun song though. And it was unique for the early 80’s.

    • @bananaramafanclub3679
      @bananaramafanclub3679  Год назад +3

      Yes, they are really attractive, in addition to having sung their biggest hits in the 80s, they are pop icons and the most famous female group music in the world.

    • @Dee_Lite263
      @Dee_Lite263 8 месяцев назад +1

      I think that was their appeal though, their USP if you like.
      They weren't my favourites as I liked Duran Duran, Depeche mode, bucks fizz, Madonna & a few others but I did like bananarama and always loved cruel summer, one of their more grown up songs but I could see the appeal, 3 young women / girls having fun and carefree and they didn't take themselves too seriously either.
