    "Victims" is a song by English band Culture Club, released as a single in 1983 and taken from the album Colour by Numbers. As with most early Culture Club singles, the song is about lead singer Boy George's then publicly unknown and rather turbulent relationship with drummer Jon Moss.
    Although the group's previous single "Karma Chameleon" had been a massive hit throughout the world, "Victims" was only issued in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and Australia. The piano ballad[1] peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart. In Ireland, it peaked at #2, and in Australia, at #4. The single was not released in the United States, Canada or Japan, where they released "Miss Me Blind" instead; reportedly, Epic felt that the song was too depressing to be a single for the US market.[citation needed]
    The orchestral overdub on this track was recorded in Studio 1 at CBS Recording Studios, London by the renowned recording engineer, Mike Ross-Trevor (assisted by Richard Hollywood) on Saturday 9 July 1983. The day earlier (on Friday 8 July), a new drum track was overdubbed by Jon Moss in Studio 1. However, this was later replaced by a new drum track for the final released version.
    Its B-side was the then unreleased track "Colour by Numbers", which is the title of the album but not included on it. An instrumental version was also issued on the 12", renamed "Romance Revisited". Both extra tracks are now available on the 2003 remastered version of Colour by Numbers.
    An early demo version of the song was released re-titled "Shirley Temple Moment" on the Culture Club box set. The track is a candid glimpse of the relationships within the band as they argue viciously amongst one another between takes, before Boy George finally walks out. It is notable also for the different lyrics which appear in the first verse:
    "We love and we never tell what places our hearts in the wishing well / Strange lover I've never been, but you must be strong, you must come clean / And I keep on loving you, it's the only thing to do / There are stranger things, if I do those things, I'm a puppet king for you."
    Boy George re-recorded the song himself as a solo artist, as a folk arrangement with piano and an orchestra, in 2002. That version can be found on the Culture Club box set that was released the same year.

    This song is such a classic vibe. I will never understand how more people dont do reactions to it. Haunting yet beautiful, sung so sweetly by The Boy.

    Boy George got VOCALS. You can his emotions in his vocals. So many fire hits. His voice gets overshadowed by his aesthetics.

    Boy George did have an amazing voice and this ballad is one of the best. Culture Club's biggest hits that you must also listen to are "Karma Chameleon", "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and "Time". They were huge in the 80's and their songs never sound old.

    Another song Boy George wrote for his then-lover in the band (drummer Jon Moss). "When you do those things, pull my puppet strings, I've the strangest void for you..." Their on and off relationship was the inspiration for the first three records. "Black Money" is also about Jon Moss...

    A very under appreicated Culture Club song. I think when it came out it was on the B-side on a 12", so you'd only know it if you were a CC freak (like I was) and bought all the 12" singes as well as the albums.

    I love catching up on all your videos after being out of town for a bit! This is one of my FAVORITE songs, I was only 2 when it came out, but I remember it as a toddler. It's so musically rich, and wonderfully haunting. And yes, Helen Terry tore it up!
