* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** The ''Music/BadGirls'' album, especially the title track and "Hot Stuff". "She Works Hard for the Money" and "On the Radio" qualify as well.
** And of course, the immortal "I Feel Love" from ''Music/IRememberYesterday''. There are no other tracks that made Music/BrianEno say that it's the future. The song was a major inspiration for SynthPop and ElectronicDanceMusic, and it continues to influence electronic musicians to this day.
* BreakawayPopHit: "Last Dance" from ''Thank God It's Friday'', in which she both acted and sang.
* CoveredUp: Her rendition of "State of Independence" is far better known than the original by [[Music/{{Yes}} Jon Anderson]] and Music/{{Vangelis}}, as well as her version of "[[Creator/RichardHarris MacArthur Park]]".
* GenreTurningPoint: "I Feel Love" might not sound like much on first hearing; it's just a constant staccato synthesized beat with Summer singing LoopedLyrics. Then you learn that whole genres like {{Eurobeat}} and ElectronicDanceMusic owe their entire existence to that one song.
* GrowingTheBeard: "Last Dance", her first hit single where she sang in her full voice instead of the cooing, moaning of her previous hits and led to other hits in that vocal style, "On the Radio", "Bad Girls", "Hot Stuff" and "She Works Hard for the Money".
* LGBTFanbase: She ''was'' the queen of disco, after all, despite the rumors that she was [[HeteronormativeCrusader a radical Christian homophobe]].
* MemeticMutation: "Lookin' for some HOT STUFF baby this evening! I need some HOT STUFF baby tonight!"
* SignatureSong: "I Feel Love", "Last Dance", and "Hot Stuff".
