Bananarama - Cruel Summer (Twisted F8 Cover) | Karate Kid 1984 Tribute

Twisted F8 reimagines the 1984 classic “Cruel Summer” by Bananarama. While the original fueled the sun-drenched nostalgia of The Karate Kid, Zara Shade and Kayla Thorne pull the track into the shadows. This version trades synth-pop for cinematic nu-metal intensity, blending "Night and Day" into a dark, summer anthem. ​From the intense, leather-clad energy of Zara to the scarlet-red "Day" visuals of Kayla, this cover pays homage to the grit and heart of the San Fernando Valley. Turn it up and feel the heat. ​Stream Twisted F8: ​https://open.spotify.com/album/5ulrZY... https://music.apple.com/gb/album/beau...    • Album - Beautiful Confusion   ​Latest Album "Beautiful Confusion" out now! ​Follow Twisted F8: ​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaylathorne... https://www.instagram.com/zarashayde?... ​Label: Theme Xtreme Records ​Official Disclaimer ​Disclaimer: This is a transformative cover version of “Cruel Summer,” originally performed by Bananarama and written by Steve Jolley, Tony Swain, Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey, and Keren Woodward.
