“Boys (Summertime Love)” (1987) by Italian pop-star Sabrina

The video to “Boys” was allegedly imported to MTV in the states but never took off. They had to edit the video for the states, and did that weird half black and white half color screen shit you used to see in the 80s, and zoomed in shots more to not show her tits. The original shows a lot of her tits practically falling out of her bikini top. They couldn’t show that here in the states.

She ain’t going to happen here, OP.

I was born the year it came out, but I clearly remember it from my childhood and occasionally still hum it to myself to this day. You're telling me this song wasn't a thing in the States? How tragic!

Video looks like it cost $1.98 (US) to make.

Sabrina sure struggled to keep her top up in that public swimming pool. She’d have had more success with her U.S. gay audience if there were any actual BOYS in her song called….Boys.

It’s called “Boys” but no hot men. Just her. Fail.

R2 why would I think a song that came out in 1987 was gonna happen here? You think we are still in 1987? What an uneducated comment.

R5 because the gay scene was so open and big in the 1980s. You clearly weren’t around then and it shows.

The *real* Sabrina...

She was looking for a good time

Sabrina last year at 56 years old.

She was Italy's answer to the UK's Samantha Fox.

Sabrina’s songs came out before Samantha Fox

R11 at 55. She turned 56 last month.

[OP, Please keep your initial post to a paragraph and continue the blog under R1.]

She’s still a hottie.

That was a challenging listen.

The fifteen seconds that I gave it, anyway.

Hottie Jaime Astrain danced to this bop this past Monday

Boobs Boobs Boobs ! Grazie, ma no grazie.

Her performing on Top of the Pops in 1988

R18 she had great tits! Still does, although I’m sure she’s had work done to maintain them.

But if you think the Boys video is boobs central, you should see her video for My Chico, which is her biggest hit in her native land of Italy. Boys is her biggest hit as a whole.

Quite big tits.

Honestly, a bop.

When it comes to Euro-pop tarts, I rather prefer Alizée:

R23 cool. She came many years after Sabrina

I'm with R6. For a video called "Boys" there aren't any fucking boys in it. The thing SHOULD have been half full of shirtless men at the pool. What a wasted opportunity.

Who cares? It was the 80s. Lots of music videos made no sense. Yet alone an Italian music video.

Lots of 80s videos had hot men in them too, there's literally NO EXCUSE for this one not to have several... which makes this video a total fail.

This video is on "Now 80s" TV as we speak. OP, pick me some Powerball numbers, please.

R27 lmao you sound retarded. How pathetic. 😂

Nothing in R27 sounds "retarded" or "pathetic", R29, but by using the R-word like that and making that sort of completely baseless accusation, you certainly come off sounding like both... pure projection on your part.

He sounds like a retard.

Sabrina and Samantha Fox had an intense rivalry in the mid-80s that almost led to a physical bustup at one point. Sam said in the British press that Sabrina could not sing. And Sabrina described Sam as the 'English midget'.

The story goes both were playing the Festivalbar in Ibiza in '87, where Sam had been the big star the previous year. And in front of the press, Sam lept into a swimming pool fully dressed expecting the photographers to follow her in a tailspin, only to find Sabrina was at the poolside lavishing up all the attention leaving Sam all alone, wet and unnoticed.

The two put their rivalry aside after the same event. They broke the ice and discovered they had too much in common to let the media turn them against each other.

R32 late 80s. 1988 isn’t the mid 80s.

R32 Sam only had one single in 1986. Her being the big star of 1986 makes no sense. Her big breakout single came out in 1987.

Here's another busty bimbo from the late 80's. Croatian-Dutch Tatjana IS a 'chica Cubana'

R34 Samantha Fox released her first album and had her first international hit single Touch Me in 1986.

Sabrina released her album Sabrina and had her first major international hit with Boys in 1987.

That's why Samantha Fox was a sensation at Festivlebar in 1986, not 1987.

None compare to me.

Was she the Dua Lipa of her day?

[quote]Was she the Dua Lipa of her day?

Sabrina was the Spagna of her day.

Once the video for All Of Me wrapped, did the backing dancers and models fuck?

UK version. I wanna see the original Italian version.

[QUOTE] Was she the Dua Lipa of her day?

No, because Sabrina had a something resembling a personality.

Also, Sabrina is not a global superstar. She was huge throughout Europe for a little while, and she had a little success in Australia, but it never came to the states. Dua Is global, and I don’t know anyone who views her as just a sex symbol.

Sade, Sinitta, Sabrina, Spagna, Sonia, SamFox

They should release a charity single

Honestly, I like My Chico.

Honestly, a BOP
