}} "Long Hot Summer" is a song by British all-female pop group Girls Aloud, taken from their third studio album ''Chemistry'' (2005). The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania, and produced by Higgins and Xenomania. "Long Hot Summer" was written for inclusion in the Walt Disney Pictures film ''Herbie: Fully Loaded'' (2005), but plans fell through. Higgins later described the track as "a disaster record." Released in August 2005, it became Girls Aloud's first single to miss the top five on the UK Singles Chart. The music video drew inspiration from the possibility of inclusion on the ''Herbie'' soundtrack, taking place at a garage where Girls Aloud work as auto mechanics. "Long Hot Summer" was promoted through numerous live appearances and has since been performed on two of the group's concert tours. The "upbeat pop tune" received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics; some reviewers thought the song felt "flat." ==Background and composition== Described as an "upbeat pop tune", The song received comparisons to Bananarama. It was also called "brilliantly barmy, with its lyrics about transvestite boyfriends running down the Old Kent Road." "Long Hot Summer" was written by Xenomania while they were in Los Angeles to meet with Disney. It was recorded for inclusion on the soundtrack to the 2005 Walt Disney Pictures reboot of the Herbie franchise, ''Herbie: Fully Loaded''.〔 The plans fell through (although the music video would take inspiration from the movie).〔In the audio commentary on Girls Aloud's ''Style'' DVD, Sarah and Cheryl mention the potential use of the song in said movie.〕 Brian Higgins has expressed his disdain with the song, saying that "chasing the soundtrack () disrupted us creatively. It was making us miserable. Something had to come out and that was Long Hot Summer. It was made in a panic. It was a disaster record. I can't stand it." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Long Hot Summer (Girls Aloud song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
