A Scene from Cruel Summer

The World Trade Center as seen in the Bananarama music video for Cruel Summer

Formed in 1981 by friends Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward, Bananarama was one of the acts associated with the MTV-driven "Second British Invasion" of the early/mid 1980s. Their first single was "Cruel Summer," with an accompanying music video shot in New York City during the summer of '83.

According to Fahey, the video was an "excuse to get [them] to the fabled city of New York for the first time," and so much of the video was spent making the most of their time there. Several shots of the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, and other landmarks are shown throughout the video, including bookends of the overall skyline showing the towers centered behind the group.
