As I do these countdowns, I always try to comb back over tracks that I might have missed, and this is one of 2 songs I could not believe I initially missed. I mean, this song remains a major summer anthem, and once you hear that classic marimba you know what it is. A perfect song for those heatwave days, I reiterate – I can’t believe I almost forgot this song. Wrapping up the bottom half of the top 20 songs turning 40 years old countdown, coming in at #11, it’s Cruel Summer by Bananarama.
