Bananarama - Cruel Summer (Live At The London Eventim Hammersmith Apollo) 

Sorry Taylor Swift, there is only one true "Cruel Summer"

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.

Ladies you were our youth in the mid 80’s in Sydney Australia we love you.

Arguably one of the best songs from the magical 80s ❤️

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.

This was one famous 80’s song … LA radio stations played this song regularly thru the 90’s

Easily one of the best 500 songs of all times

A staple of the 80's and will never be out of date.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

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 !

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 .

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

The most beautiful girl group ever..bring back the 80's

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

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

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

Oh my god, 35 years later and I still have a crush on them.

1984 : Bananarama brought me to Karate Kid 2021 : Cobra Kai brought me back to Bananarama Loop completed And I'm in love again

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

They still sound as good as the recording. Awesome!

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!

The way this songs begins is so good. Bananrama forever

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.

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!

Best version of this song I've heard.

They look and sound great

They still got it, One of my favorite songs from the 80s

They’re are still beautiful and they sound fantastic!

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.

These ladies look and sound amazing! Legends!

How can you not love them?! Still great.

40 years and still a legend number...🌞

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

The vocals and the band was Fantastic! Truly a magical evening!

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.

Girls, you look and sing awesome. Sad, we dont have so good stuff nowdays anymore.

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

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

Gorgeous ladies! Unforgettable song with so many treasured memories! ❤️

A true 80s classic!

All these years later and my heart still beats a bit faster when I see them.

They look fantastic! One of my favorite 80s tracks

Wow they look and sound fab after all these years grew up to their music im glad i grew up in the 80s awesome times back then!!!

Beautiful summer ⛱️🌞

❄ Siobhan is the icing on the cake 🌙

Siobhan looks amazing in black and red.

Still vibing to this song in 2024❤❤❤❤

They sound really fantastic!💖

Age does not exist in this band, does it?! NO SENSEI!

Love this song… me recuerda los mejores momentos de mi juventud… muy buena canción…

Hello From San Francisco ! 🌊🔥🔥🌊

I was 7 when this song came out in 1983. Loved it then but love it more now. I want to go back to the 80s.

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❤

Aaaauuuu....? que hermosa melodía yo tenia 5 años de edad cuando este tema tocaba en las radios en 1983 .. y hoy 6 de enero 2023 cumple 40 años esta canción, que rápido pasan los años me encuentro tan emocionado, gracias chicas de Bananarama por ser parte de mi vida, con esta canción les llevo siempre en mi corazón 💖💖💖

I think today they sing even better, their live vocals are as good as in their recordings

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

They still look so good.

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.

Siobhan is the only one who ever looks like she can be arsed. There is a natural class to her

I Love Bananararama

Much better as a trio the voices hold up much better

Amazing to stay so beautiful through the time !

Best female group of all time. Pure pop magic. 😍

At the age of 48 and I'm still in love in them

Absolutely superb' let's do it all again. ❤

Original girl power!! These 3 women dominated the 80s. Great tunes...Still listen to these after 40 years

These women never age 😂 so many memories 😭😅 love it!

1980s were magical years. Nothing like it anymore. Great memories and music.

Yo nací en 1995 pero gracias a mí abuelito que hoy sigue conmigo aprendí a escuchar las mejores canciones de antaño, me encantan, éxitos y muchas bendiciones, desde Perú 🖤

This version is even better than the original one!! WOW!!!

One of the best pop music of twenty century.

So nostalgic song...

Going to my first disco after leaving school and hearing, love in the first degree.magic, happy memories.

I was sp obsessed with Banana Rama when I was younger. My friends and I would dress like them and blast their songs from out cassette players to the whole neighborhood lol. I wanted to be Siobhan soo badly!
