"Summer Girls" is a song by the pop group LFO.
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.
Eminem, in his song "Marshall Mathers" (from The Marshall Mathers LP), parodied the chorus of the song by taking the melody but altering the lyrics: "New Kids on the Block suck a lot of dick. Boy/girl groups make me sick. And I can't wait 'til I catch all you faggots in public. I'm-a love it".
Cultural references in the song include Cherry Coke, Home Alone, Alex P. Keaton, New Edition, Footloose, New Kids On The Block, The Beastie Boys, Larry Bird, William Shakespeare, Abercrombie and Fitch, Michael J Fox, Cheery Pez, Paul Revere, Kevin Bacon, and Candy Girl.
