WILD SUMMER NIGHTS (by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band: Eddie and The Cruisers movie soundtrack)

SUMMARY:                                    RUNNING TIME: 3:42 Min.

Recorded for the 1983 Eddie and the Cruisers film soundtrack, John Cafferty (as the fictional Eddie Wilson’s singing voice) and The Beaver Brown Band (as the fictional Cruisers) perform this upbeat rock tune.

REVIEW:

“Wild Summer Nights” is an underrated crowd-pleaser.  Its only off-note is a quick anachronism describing hardcore surfers as ‘cyborgs,’ which seems odd for a song supposedly performed in 1962-63 (during the film’s flashbacks).  Though it isn’t as appealing as “On the Dark Side,” this tune is worth considering as a download option for 60s-style rock playlists.
