Singalong! Cruel Summer by Bananarama

This music video is a wild ride: girls singing about how hot it is while wearing full-length overalls, climbing steps in time to music, and then jumping into some random trucker's semi, throwing bananas at a police car and then (spoiler alert!) having a rooftop dance party with the VERY policemen they threw bananas at! Just typical summer shenanigans, right?

This is for those of you who are happy summer is over. I am not one of you, but I respect your right to exist!

CRUEL SUMMER

by Bananarama

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
