95 Songs of Summer, #38 - "Cruel Summer" (1984)

They say that confession is good for the soul, so now would be as good a time as any to admit that I own four - four! - albums by Bananarama.  I can't explain or justify it, I just do.

Say what you will, but they were a great singles band.  And this was a great single - not only a hit during the summer, but a hit about summer. A two-fer!  And probably the best song they ever recorded.

"Cruel Summer," Bananarama, from the summer of 1984.
