Cruel summer - Bananarama

I like em both..Maybe the original a little better..I was a teen in the 80's probably a little biased..

Why was this question spammed? It was perfectly logical and to the point of the video. Yes, the lyrics speak of dealing with the extreme heat of summer plus one of the girls being dumped by her boyfriend. While the original song and video captures the essence of the story, the remixed edition makes it more of a beachy summer dance tune, something to make you forget your troubles and just have fun. This version should have been called "Its A Beautiful Summer" for that reason.

hehehe, it so stupid when people argue about things, especially music, but this one made my day. beautiful summer, hehehe

This version sucks...

I heard this song, I'm not kidding, for the VERY FIRST TIME two nights ago. I'm in love with the beat of this tune. GO 80'S!!!!!!

ok 80s oho si que tiempos viva mexico

The 1983 version is better

I prefer the original.....

It's hard for me to choose which version I like better. Personally, my vote goes for the remix here. I love the faster tempo and the video they made for it, but the original has a memorable back beat as well and the original video actually depicts the lyrical content of the track. Both of them were well done in my opinion, so it's a matter of personal taste.
