yeah it was a strange era where New Wave and Blue Eyed Soul were starting to mix, the UK is full of some strange cross genre experiments that were a little too strange for the US, Rip Rig + Panic once had a guest performance on The Young Ones and looking back they were a super weird group
I have been fascinated with Boy George almost my entire life. When I was a kid, I say around 4 years old, my sister was about 15-16. On Saturdays, after we got done with our chores, she would do funky make-up on my face, and dress me up in some of her funkiest clothes from her closet, and braid parts of my hair in some micro braids...then she would dress up as best she could as Tom Baker from his days as Dr. Who. We would sit in front of the TV for hours in the floor of our living room and watch Dr. Who and MTV (back when MTV was still in it's infancy and came on 'rabbit ear' TV)....she knew I absolutely loved Boy George, so she would make me look like him. LOL. We didn't have much back in those days, sometimes we would have gone hungry if it hadn't been for my grandparents....But we were all together, and in some ways we were happier then, or at least there were times, looking back on it, that it seems that way. I loved Boy George, and still love him, because he was completely different looking and acting from everybody else and made no apologies for it.
@@sherigilmore9141 I think part of the reason it sticks out so well for me is because there are so many memories for me that are so vague...sometimes, if it wasn't for a photograph, I would never know or remember that some events took place. I'm glad this is one of those things I can remember so clearly.
The song was written by Boy George regarding his secret (to the public and media) relationship with fellow Culture Club band mate Jon Moss. Boy George was gay and Moss was bí and unwilling to come out and be public about their relationship. Due to this their relationship could be very difficult with Boy George calling him a chameleon as he keeps changing depending on who's around. Never can show his true self.
Culture Clubs and Boy George were mega stars in the 80's together with Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Wham, e.t.c. But I love them, because they had their very own distinctive sound and certainly their own challenging image. They have produced some great records. My best singles of them besides this are "Do you really want to heart me", "I 'll trumble for Ya", "Time" and "Love is love"...
Culture Club was the quintessential 80's band...Completely unique with more than a few classic songs jammed into their relatively short career...Their ace in the hole was, of course, Boy George...When the song "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" came out, we just couldn't quite figure out what to make of him...The make-up and the clothes made you blink a few times, but his unmistakable voice was awesome and was what made the group special...
Boy George was the singer. You weren't born yet so I imagine that Culture Club is a new experience for you. He is still making some albums today, and George and the band still get together from time to time and due some touring. Boy George and CC seem to be all over the place on RUclips. I would advise everybody to check them out.
I like your reactions to this era.Even though I'm 29,these are the songs I'd listen to the radio when I'm young.Very nostalgic.And maybe,you're the only one reacting to 80's music.Keep it up!
My best friend in the '80's was very anti-gay. One day I asked him why he had a Boy George cassette in his car. He said "I don't like him but his voice is amazing so I had to buy it."
I'm a MASSIVE Culture Club...Lead Singer Boy George fan...I'm sending this to the Boy George on Twitter, Right Now!!! Everything you said was accurate-Awesome Job!!!!!!!!
I was 12 when this came out. It was one of my first “teen” records I bought. Give church of the poison mind. Have you ever listened to Inxs. Never tear us apart was hugely big back in the day. The video for it was played so often. It’s a great song. Thanks for your reactions.
Nanci G Church of the Poison Mind & Time (Clock of the Heart) are probably tied for my favourite CC songs. ❤️ ITA, if India hasn’t heard INXS there are LOADS of songs that were huge back then! Never Tear Us Apart being one of the biggest! Great suggestion!! 💯👍🏻
I fell in love with Boy George and Culture Club from the moment I laid eyes on him. He was so different from anyone knew as an 11 year old lol. Glad you liked it India. Review more of their stuff. Take care & stay safe 😷
Love your reactions, and particularly that you are reacting to so many of my favourite tracks from the 1980s. Since you've reacted to this one, you should definitely react to "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?", from Culture Club's first album, as well.
Your reaction videos make my evenings, India; thank you. Though I don't particularly like Culture Club, the early eighties really did have the arrival of a lot of favourite/great acts of all time. I hope you do the New Romantic/New Wave band Duran Duran soon; they defined the eighties. "Planet Earth" is a great start off from their 1981 self-titled debut album.
Red gold n green represents Boy George's love of Reggae music.The colours of tbe Jamaican flag.Also represente in modern times traffic lights.Jamaica introduced the traffic lighs , the colours were kept worldwide to pay tribute to one of Jamaica's many contributions known worldwide. "Cheers from Nova Scotia, Canada Eh!!!"
A few more worth checking out....The War Song, Miss Me Blind, I’ll Tumble for You, and Church of the Poison Mind...just saw them two years ago and still great. You might like Adam Ant and Men At Work as well.
Culture Club seemed to come out of nowhere in the early 80s. Do You Really Want to Hurt Me was the first music video I ever saw, back in the day. Blew my mind. Told all the kids in 2nd or 3rd grade about the midnight show on channel 3.
Yes, exactly Boy George wrote this for his lover/boyfriend Jon Moss- the drummer of Culture Club! And his ‘Karma’ was always changing, like the chameleon!
Oh mY GOD‼‼‼‼ 👉CULTURE CLUB..More please...BOY GeorgE IS AMAZING... CHECK DO YOUBREALLY WANT YO HURT ME... / REGARDS FROM PERU🇵🇪.....AND ALSO THE TRACK ... FREEDOM BY WHAM🇵🇪‼‼‼
I like more the Freedom '90 - Version from George Michael with all the easter eggs in the original video. Other good musik (of my taste) Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy, The Communards - Don't leave me this way, Ultravox - Dancind with tears in my eyes (always remember in the 80s the cold war was often close to get hot and Chernobyl happend). Anne Clark - Our Darkness (the Intro), Visage - Fade to grey, Softcell - Tainted Love (the original and not the cover by Mr. Manson), Talk Talk - Such a Shame. Or some more West - EU popular songs of the 80s Guesch Patti - Ettiene (Original Video maybe R rated in the US) France Gall - Ella elle l'a (Homage to famous US- Jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald) Yazoo - Don't go Desireless - Voyage voyage (Video from Bettina Rheims) Les Rita Mitsouko - Marcia Baila (total weird frensh artists) And back to english songs The Art of Noise with Max Headroom - Paranoimia New Order - Blue Monday (The Song in the WW84 Trailer) Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Maid Of Orleans Simple Minds - Belfast Child The Police - Every breath yop take Billy Joel - We Didn’t Start the Fire Sting - Russians Their are so many songs from the 80s...
George's voice was so different given his unique look and style. Very r and B style with touch of pop. Him, Elton and George Michael had great voices and wasn't afraid to be themselves. You are so spot on with your analysis. Check out Time or do you really want to hurt me.
I wasn’t a HUGE Culture Club fan but did love this song, Do u really wanna hurt me, I’ll Tumble for ya and The War Song. I think Karma and War Song were my top faves
This song is known as a 1 take wonder . . . The band went into the studio . Set up thier gear sang the song once and that is how it was released . . 1 take . . . . Love your chanel India . Hi from New Zealand . .
One of their more recent songs....Let Somebody Love You. Boy George's voice though...I have always just been fascinated by him, love the fact that he is totally his own person...But his voice now just gets me.
The controversy! Now we get pop stars who turn up wearing three strategically placed postage stamps and a pound of glitter before simulating all sorts of things and nobody bats an eyelid.
I'm no 80s kid but really? I mean sight isnt the only sense. Didnt his voice tell you guys? Or simply the fact that his name was George which isnt a unisex name?
@@bam5971329 Georginas have been calling themselves George for years. And you're right about the voice. I once heard Alison Moyet on the radio and thought she was Tony Hadley.
Boy George was put on earth to upset adults. Two of my friends managed to fail all their exams chasing him around. Everyone did detention because we tried to introduce colours into the boring blue uniforms. We loved him because he was free and his world didn't do racism. Like many British bands at this time, he encouraged people of different races and sexualities to walk side by side against hatred. It was fun.
Hi young lady this is an old git having fun from England, have you seen Black People reacting to Blue Eyed Soul? Your in it. All the best from England.
"Colour by Numbers" was the first cassette I ever got! I was 8 and listened to it a lot. I recommend "It's a Miracle" and "Church of the Poison Mind". I also think you should check out "Crying Game" by Boy George.
Cool song> but also boy george was the second most photographed person on the planet at the time, after lady (princess) Diana. This was a major cultural impact.
We were traveling to Washington state when my son was about 7 and we decided to go through provo utah to just have a look, well at a stop light my son yells out the window "MY MOM LOVES BOY GEORGE " looks, oh yeah did I get the looks!! Great memory!!
I still have the Colour By Numbers album, bought it brand new in 1983. I was 16. I love George, always have and always will, this music helped me to come out of my shell and be myself. I sang the song Victims off this same album to audition for our school musical, and everyone freaked out because first, I didn't talk much, and two, they had no idea that I could sing, lol!
9 weeks at No. 1 in UK! Every magazine had Boy George's face on the cover! They were soooo huge! Fun Fact (well, to me anyway): My cousin is one of the Can-Can girls in this vid. So proud!
I’m a year from turning 60. I was 21 whenever this song came out. He was on the front of people magazine. My nephew was 12. He said that’s the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. He couldn’t believe that was a man. Very talented group. But a lot of people thought he was a woman.
I was a teenager when I first heard this song on the radio...and I instantly fell in love with it. When I saw Boy George for the first time, I must say I was surprised. I didn't understand why he dressed the way he did, but it made no difference to me. I STILL love this song.
They always had great songs. They arrived just in time as MTV was starting up when I was a kid. I remember when they first started playing their song "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" we loved the song but (again we were just kids) at first we weren't quite sure if the lead singer was a man or woman. But we quickly found out that HIS name was Boy George.
this video remember me the 80s fashions, in these years all the videos on MTV had this esthetic, you can see this fact in videos by Cindy Lauper, Dexys Midnight Runners, Madonna among others pop artist of the 80s. I also tried to dress like this, fortunately this has changed, at least, for me Try to react to True Blue by Madonna, Girls just wanna be fun by Cindy Lauper and Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners
My grand (God rest her soul, just passed 2 weeks ago at 92), said to me in early 80s have you seen that Madonna girl, she dresses like you love. I used to take scraps of lace and fabric when she was sewing and tie my hair up in them, knotted t-shirts with skirts and wore the washers on my wrists like some of the not nice boys I knew
Boy George wrote this song about a past relationship and never intended for it to be a single because he said no one would want to listen to it and it wasn't good enough. Someone told him that it would be a hit so he put it on Culture Club's first album and it ended up being their most popular song that they ever released.
These Guys were Wizards. They had this uncanny ability to Mix Carribbean Reggae, Punk Rock New Wave and American Soul. and make it successful. If you can Check Out Church OF The Poison Mind. You would think you're listening to a Motown Song.
I don't think anyone in today's society can even appreciate how on the early 80s, for Boy George to just show up & be so openly gay and wearing whatever the F he pleased was MIND BLOWING. Boy George is always smart, clever, and so charming. Love him.
Boy George thanked America when this song hit #1 because he said he had finally earned enough to buy his Mom a house!
I saw an interview of Georges mom and shes the sweetest!
I love that! How sweet!
...and he added to this "and because Americans know to appreciate a drag Queen, when they see one", or somethin like that
That's good
While some were leery about Boy George’s gender-bending, others paid more attention to the Soul in his voice.
yeah it was a strange era where New Wave and Blue Eyed Soul were starting to mix, the UK is full of some strange cross genre experiments that were a little too strange for the US, Rip Rig + Panic once had a guest performance on The Young Ones and looking back they were a super weird group
This was one of my late grandmother's favourite songs. Though she seemed to to think it was called 'Colour Chameleon'.
@@glenmcculla6843 Well he does sing about 'red, gold and green' lol.
call me a 'softie" but i tear up every time he sings "every day is like survival" when i hear this song for decades now..
When you realise the only one not in costume. The only one showing his true colours and not being a chameleon in this video is Boy George.
That's actually one of the most insightful comments I have ever seen on RUclips. Superb!
What about Mickey?
Wow! You are right. Love this song and have been listening to it for 30+ years and never realized that.

Please react to Culture Club: "Do you really want to hurt me" & "Time"
Yes! Both of those are amazing
Yea!@India Reacts
👍🏼 Yes, and also the crying game
Yes please!
Time is such an amazing song!
He has always had such a great voice.

All of the songs Boy George wrote where about the drummer. Same as No Doubt. All of Gwen Stephani songs in the early days were about bass player.
He's the one in the pink suit, cream cravat. The other two are in the crowd as well.
Thanks, I never knew the song was about Jon, I knew it was tumultuous between them, always discovering
Thanks. Forgot about all that. That was a long time ago.
@kingfish 319 Maybe that's only some people.

The harmonica sounds awesome, and Boy George was one hell of a singer.
He had perfect pitch long before the invention of Autotune.
Boy George wasn't just dressed up, he was a Queen, had a great voice and good career in music. Yon can see him on British Voice
Eddie Beaty he’s still a queen. He looks incredible
Lmao
1983 was some great music

British bands ruled the airwaves in the early 1980’s so much so they named it the second British Invasion.

Original Sin by Inxs...
Inxs my favourite band of all time,closly followed by big country.
I am so excited you did this song. It was my late grandmother’s favorite song. Always makes me smile and dance like she would!
So bold, so inquiring, so special. Thank him for giving us this special music.

Please do more Culture Club!! "Do you really wanna hurt me, "I'll tumble for ya" & "it's a Miracle!"👍
Do You Really Want To Hurt Me and Miss Me Blind are two great Culture Club songs!
Violent Femmes did an amazing cover of Do You Really Want To Hurt Me. Changed the song for me
This song is just pure FUN! I loved it long before I ever saw the video... thank you, India!
boy george: "crying game"....is beautiful
Check out Boy George singing the Crying Game, soundtrack to the film of the same name produced by The Pet Shop Boys.
I love that song, and the movie is in my top ten favorites!

Boy George was not only ahead of his age but a genius as far as telling a story with words and a showman to the last.
Boy George has a fantastic voice. I’ve only recently started appreciating how good he was in the last few years.
A few more worth checking out....The War Song, Miss Me Blind, I’ll Tumble for You, and Church of the Poison Mind...just saw them two years ago and still great. You might like Adam Ant and Men At Work as well.

Boy George, the singer. He broke a lot boundaries. The song back in day, was a huge hit! Loved your reaction’ 👏👏👏

I like Tumble 4 ya

Best reaction vids on youtube. Genuine & not just done for effect. Love it.
Boy George is doing a lot of The Voice judging around the world.
George mat not be doing much traveling these days with the COVID19 among us right now
I remember when Culture Club first came out and not knowing if he was male or female.
The controversy! Now we get pop stars who turn up wearing three strategically placed postage stamps and a pound of glitter before simulating all sorts of things and nobody bats an eyelid.

I got that in my recommended videos a couple of nights ago.. 😁
Good stuff but the best Culture Club is "Church of the Poison Mind"
This. ^
Most of all of their stuff is Good!!.. 80's girl here... I loved them!!!
Helen Terry is brilliant on that song. Hot damn
"Colour by Numbers" was the first cassette I ever got! I was 8 and listened to it a lot. I recommend "It's a Miracle" and "Church of the Poison Mind". I also think you should check out "Crying Game" by Boy George.
I had that cassette too.. much older than you but I love them!!!
I love 80's music. I like Culture Club and the lead singer Boy George. Great reaction, India!!
Love Culture Club. Back in high school, I sang one of their songs as a solo audition, “Victims”.
Cool song> but also boy george was the second most photographed person on the planet at the time, after lady (princess) Diana. This was a major cultural impact.
Oh my ! Culture Club is phenomenal ‘!! The 80’s started off great and just got better. ❤️❤️
Victims is a mother one by culture club which is truly under rated.
Great song !
this song is so catchy. I can't help but sing when it comes on the radio.
We were traveling to Washington state when my son was about 7 and we decided to go through provo utah to just have a look, well at a stop light my son yells out the window "MY MOM LOVES BOY GEORGE " looks, oh yeah did I get the looks!! Great memory!!
Lol 🤣
I enjoyed seeing you react to the music I grew up with. 😀 Culture Club was my absolute favorite back in the day.
This brought back great memories. I loved Culture Club.
I still have the Colour By Numbers album, bought it brand new in 1983. I was 16. I love George, always have and always will, this music helped me to come out of my shell and be myself. I sang the song Victims off this same album to audition for our school musical, and everyone freaked out because first, I didn't talk much, and two, they had no idea that I could sing, lol!
Fantastic song and Artist!!!! Boy George still performs these days and sounds great still!!! ❤️😊
Loved the song and the group, Boy Georges makeup looked nice too.
9 weeks at No. 1 in UK! Every magazine had Boy George's face on the cover! They were soooo huge! Fun Fact (well, to me anyway): My cousin is one of the Can-Can girls in this vid. So proud!
Culture Club with Boy George was amazing. Those were my teenage years
Boy George is a beautiful soul with a beautiful message from a time where so much good came from music.
Love this song...one of my favorites.
The whole Color by Numbers album is a cant miss on every song, react to “Victims.” Love the throwbacks India. Enjoy your journey!!!
This is my guilty pleasure. I was 13 when it dropped ❤️👍thank you for sharing your reaction with us . ❤️🌼😃
Loved this guy. He's so down to earth. Was good friends with George Michael later on. Still singing.
I"d love this song in middle 80's. In my youth. Thx 4 your awesome reaction. Greetings from Missouri...
Just found your reactions , I love the way you get lost in any music but some of your video reactions are so great , keep up the good work
You hit the nail on the head with that analysis, India! Try reacting to 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me ' or 'Church of the Poisoned Mind '.

My grand (God rest her soul, just passed 2 weeks ago at 92), said to me in early 80s have you seen that Madonna girl, she dresses like you love. I used to take scraps of lace and fabric when she was sewing and tie my hair up in them, knotted t-shirts with skirts and wore the washers on my wrists like some of the not nice boys I knew
Boy George, Cyndi Lauper, and to a lesser extent Annie Lennox sort of blew our little minds back in the early 80's
Love this song, classic Boy George
The rise of the music video takes me back to 1983/84 this song by Culture Club was really on top then
Love Boy George and Culture Club. They are the 80's
Boy George wrote this song about a past relationship and never intended for it to be a single because he said no one would want to listen to it and it wasn't good enough. Someone told him that it would be a hit so he put it on Culture Club's first album and it ended up being their most popular song that they ever released.
The story you are referring to is about Do you really want to hurt me not Karma Chameleon.
I only play the the videos of Singles [vinyl] I bought at the time. Kind of revisiting that moment of enjoyment again in someone else. Nice
These Guys were Wizards. They had this uncanny ability to Mix Carribbean Reggae, Punk Rock New Wave and American Soul. and make it successful. If you can Check Out Church OF The Poison Mind. You would think you're listening to a Motown Song.
Love your reactions. You're so in it. But side note, I love your hair!!
Girl. I love how your reactions have evolved! You've gotten so comfortable. I love it :)
One of my old "guilty pleasure" songs along with Mmmm bop and Sugar Sugar. Upbeat and fun.
I Love Love Love Boy George!!!! Great Reaction. Please keep reacting to Culture Club!
This song definitely has many musical elements. I can hear the New Orleans/ Cajun rhythm in this song.
I don't think anyone in today's society can even appreciate how on the early 80s, for Boy George to just show up & be so openly gay and wearing whatever the F he pleased was MIND BLOWING. Boy George is always smart, clever, and so charming. Love him.
You taking me back to my high school days!!
