Summer Girls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Summer Girls" is a song by the pop group LFO. In 1999, it was a #1 song in the United States.

The song's writer, Rich Cronin, said that the song included numerous inside jokes, and that he never anticipated its success. He claims this is due to the fact that the song was made strictly for a demo tape, but was leaked to a radio station. Many of the song's rhyming lines appear to be randomly inserted.

"Summer Girls" is sometimes referred to as the Abercrombie & Fitch song because of one of the lines in the chorus: "I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch" and "You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch." When the song reached #1, Abercrombie & Fitch's stock and sales increased significantly.^{[citation needed]}

Cultural references in the song include bands, actors, foods, Cherry Coke, Home Alone, and William Shakespeare.

An unknown musician helped circulate a parody of the song called "Hummer Girls" under the name "HMO" on P2P music sharing services.^{[citation needed]}
