As quick as the summer flies by, so did the career of LFO. The letters which stood for "Lyte Funky Ones." In 1999, three guys from Massachusetts released the single, "Summer Girls" from their self-titled album. A song that pokes fun and is littered with pop culture references from the 80s and early 90s. Abercrombie and Fitch, Cherry Coke, Larry Bird, Kevin Bacon and the movie Footloose, Alex P. Keaton, New Kids on the Block and plenty more. The song winds through them in rhyme and drops the deep bass to keep your head bouncing.

"Summer Girls" was written by the group's lead singer Rich Cronin. The catchy pop rap song climbed up to number 3 on the chart. It wouldn't be there only hit. One more, the follow-up track "Girl on TV." Then, a few summer's later in 2003, it would be the end of LFO. The did have a reunion in 2009. It was short lived as lead singer, Rich Cronin passed away in 2010 at the age 36, following a battle with Leukemia.
