June Mix - 10. The Barracudas - Summer Fun

The next song on the mix comes by way of the 1980 classic "Summer Fun" by UK band The Barracudas. This song is about as cliche as a "summer song" can get, but this is where the song draws its charm from. The Barracudas were a throwback band - playing upbeat 60s revival with their jangly sound - and this was their breakthrough hit. I like this song in our mix because it brings some needed overt summerness - and it's a ton of fun to rock out to. Thanks go to Johnbeck for this one. Here's the "music video" for the song from Top of the Pops shot in 1981. Check out those dance moves!
