Cruel Summer – Bananarama (Rock Version) 80s Electrified

1983. Three women from London walked into a recording studio and made one of the most infectious songs of the decade. Cruel Summer wasn't supposed to be a hit. It was a B-side. A throwaway. Something to fill space on the record. Then The Karate Kid put it in the closing credits in 1984 and everything changed. Suddenly it was everywhere. Radio. Parties. Car windows rolled down on hot August nights. The sound of a summer that felt perfect and painful at the same time. Forty years later it still hits. Riff Rocked gives it the rock treatment it always deserved. 🎸 🎸 Subscribe to Riff Rocked:    / @riffrocked   🔔 Ring the bell — new rock drops weekly ⚡ Ko-fi keeps the amps on Original Song Credits Written by: Steve Jolley and Tony Swain Originally performed by: Bananarama From the album: Bananarama (1983) — London Records Copyright Disclaimer: This is an original hard rock reimagining created under transformative use.
