"Summer Girls" is a song by the pop group LFO that reached #3 in the US in 1999.
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. It is considered the most popular song of the boy band.
"Summer Girls" is often identified by 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." The song was also featured in the movie Longshot, in which LFO appeared.
Cultural references in the song include Cherry Coke, Home Alone, Alex P. Keaton, New Edition, Footloose, New Kids on the Block, Beastie Boys, Larry Bird, William Shakespeare, Abercrombie and Fitch, Michael J Fox, Cherry Pez, Paul Revere, Kevin Bacon, Mr. Limpet, Chinese Food and Candy Girl.
