Cruel Summer is part of the self-titled album Bananarama (1984), the second album of the British trio. The song was written by Sara Dallin, Keren Woodward and Siobhan Fahey along with producers Jolley & Swain during an unbearable heatwave in London in 1983. The three were trapped working while their friends took a vacation.
The video, shot in New York (Brooklyn) during another brutal heatwave, shows the three of them sweating and suffering for real on the streets of the city. This visual greatly helped the song to become a hit in the US after being included in the film Karate Kid (1984).
Released as a single, it reached #8 in the UK and #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of the biggest hits of Bananarama career and an absolute classic of dance pop of the 80s.
There aren’t many activities that we can name that involve absolutely no harm to the planet or any of its inhabitants - but naturism is definitely one of them! Another reason to celebrate naturism!

If you have never tried social naturism, you will be completely surprised at how comfortable you will feel and the connections you will make with other naturists.
We don’t care what your body looks like. We want to meet the genuine person you are inside.

“Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Joy Division is a powerful, emotionally charged song released in June 1980, just a month after frontman Ian Curtis died by suicide. The lyrics reflect his personal struggles, including a failing marriage and epilepsy, while the music blends a driving post-punk beat with a haunting melody. The song is often considered one of the greatest singles of all time.
