Church of the Poison Mind and Victims are great ones. When Culture Club first hit the scene, Boy George's voice was compared to Smokey Robinson's. George's antics often overshadowed his incredible vocals.
Boy George was really good, and was being himself long before it was safe to do so. I had a good friend who came out back then, and said he was inspired by Boy George.
Not to try to diminish what George did or went through, but I always liked the story I heard that he grew up in a tough neighborhood, was pretty tough himself and had three brothers who would beat the crap out of you if you dared mess with him.
"Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" went to #1 in the UK and topped the charts in 23 countries. Went to #2 in the U.S. "Karma Chameleon" was also a #1 hit in the UK, went to #1 in THIRTY countries, and was #1 in the U.S. 3 weeks running. "Karma Chameleon" was Culture Club's biggest hit.
Helen Terry’s voice is AWESOME! Before I ever saw a video of Boy George and Culture Club, I always thought Helen Terry was a Black woman because of that gorgeous voice. I was truly shocked to learn that she was white. She sure can belt out those notes!
HA! I did the same with my husband with Michael Jackson. He did not want to go. We left the concert with him yelling "Michael my man!" This was the Bad tour days. Always listen to your women :) We have seen Cyndi a few times, mostly as an opening act. She was walking the audience and to this day the husband brags "Cyndi Lauper touched me" (which she did)
I cast my vote for DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME< it really shows off his vocals. I believe the song was about his secret relationship he had with the drummer of Culture Club.
The song was about his relationship with the drummer in the band who didn't want to publicly acknowledge the relationship with George. The drummer ultimately ended up marrying a woman.
Was wondering when you'd get back to Mr. George & Co! So many more to check out! "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me", "I'll Tumble 4 Ya", "Church of the Poison Mind", "Miss Me Blind", and "It's a Miracle" are all wonderful listens. Please also check out "The Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats... it's one of the most recognizable early 80s songs in existence.
I remember when this album came out. I was teenager, working in the record department of a department store...yes I'm that old. Culture Club was the first group to make New Wave mainstream. Check out The Style Council, The Eurythmics and The Thompson Twins for more great British music of this era.
One of their BEST hits! They were one of the biggest groups in the 80s. Boy George, the lead singer, was one of the first people to bring the term and the look of being a "Club Kid," in US. Definitely check out there other hits Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?, also the song, "Miss Me Blind", "Do you Deal in Black Money," "I'll Tumble 4 Ya," are some great ones.
This is my favorite Culture Club song. "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" is probably their biggest hit after "Karma Chameleon", but "Church of the Poison Mind" is an underrated classic!!!
One of the best blue eyed soul singers I’ve ever heard he’s right there with George Michael,Steve perry and Daryl hall,actually he wrote the song about his secret relationship with the drummer in the band.
Funniest thing is that Jon wasn't really gay. And George would be mad that Jon would always run off to chase the (female) groupies. Haha it would take Time to define that relationship.
"Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" is the song that catapulted them to stardom in the United States. It is definitely worth a listen, and is a bit different from this. For something really different, but equally as awesome, listen to "Church of the Poison Mind."
LMAO! I have to admit, back in the early 80s (as I was "coming of age"), a LOT of the bands I listened to and watched when MTV became a thing, REALLY made my grandmother and my Boomer aunt/uncle question my sexuality (I'm straight, but not judgmental). But, as an "Early Gen-Xer", my mind and tastes were pretty wide open as far as music went. I love the music that drove the older generation(s) crazy, but not BECAUSE it drove them crazy. That was just a side benefit. =D I loved the soulful voice that Boy George had, and Culture Club, like many other bands of the era, blurred the lines of "traditional gender roles" and even sexual identity. Despite my family's viewpoints (them being very conservative minded) I had no problem with any band/group/singer(s) who could display an emotional message in their songs. I was inundated with opinions about "white music", "black music", "gay music", "straight music", etc.... and yet these SAME people loved watching Liberace's show on television! Now, you explain THAT one to me. I guess that in their minds, it was "okay", because he wasn't "openly gay". Yeah... okay... Liberace wasn't "openly gay"... More likely them being okay with Liberace but not Boy George pointed out the hypocrisy they were trying to get me to accept, and I wasn't having it. Let's just say there was a big disconnect between me and the older generations and leave it at that. Also, it was the early 80s that got me to start "not being afraid of who I was and what I liked". Although, it wasn't until the 90s when that really took hold, and I started dying my hair red and painting my fingernails black. Anyone who didn't like it could go spin.
Amber - For female Fridays.you need to check out Allison Moyet- who had a great career with the group "Yaz",and their hits Situation,and Only You- her biggest solo hit "Invisible"....
its Yazoo ,otherwise you will have the Brits moaning that your confusing the group with sometimes solo artist Yaz who was a fairly successful artist later in the 80s .
There was something about this song when it came out that I just loved. When you started playing the song the words just came back and I was singing along. Great choice for a song today I'm sitting here smiling and remembering the past.
I remember this song from back in high school. It was a very huge “ disco transition to pop” song of the early 1980’s song. Many groups and songs were immediately “forced” into this style because of the immediate “anti-disco” stigma movement in those early 1980’s years. What a hard time that must have been for those artists. Somehow they did overcome it despite how much the disco influence was such a great movement then!
Black Money is a must for Culture Club fans. It also has to be the live version. Boy and Helen Terry singing together is like a little piece of heaven.
Everybody liked Boy George-even those who would never admit it. His voice was smooth and Culture Club banged out hit after hit during the ‘80s. You really have to do “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me.” It was their first hit in America and was different than anything being played at that time. 🔥🤣
Especially here in the states. All they wanted to talk about in his interviews was the way he dressed and his sexuality. In most interviews you can see how upset he becomes that they won’t talk about the music and ignored the other members in the band. He has walked off sets on multiple occasions after saying I’m not going to answer those questions anymore.
This song was written by Boy George for a fellow band member with whom he had a relationship when the band started gaining fame this individual broke of the relationship with Boy George fearing his lifestyle would be discovered. Many of the songs on this album were written by Boy George in an attempt to get that individual to return. There was a interesting documentary on the subject where Boy George detailed the whole story
YAY!!! Culture Club was the first band I ever saw in concert, and they still hold a special place in my heart. And my mom still loves Boy George - much to my surprise!
His Most Uplifting/Positive Vibes Song EVER & The ABSOLUTE BEST Way To Start Your Day Out Right,, BOB MARLEY "THREE LITTLE BIRDS"..Added Bonus/Trivia:: Many People Have Used This One To Make Their Babies Stop Crying & It Works Everytime.
Thank you for doing more Culture Club! They and Duran Duran were my favorites back then. I'd love you to do more songs where you hear the female background singer, Helen Terry. That girl can SING. Black Money would be a great one. Church of the Poison Mind is another. OMG I was so in love with that drummer, John Moss, back then.
What an awesome song ♥️ never gets old to me 😊 it takes me back to certain places and times 👍 you know, check out " Church of the poison mind" you'll love it 😀 👋
Boy George was amongst the Vanguard of the new romantics. He worked at the blitz nightclub in London as a coat checker the blitz nightclub was the birthplace of the new Romantics movement the early members were called Blitz kids and Boy George an early architect
Boy George has a great voice! And those 4 boys were soooo cute! 😁 Next up... " Miss Me Blind" (dance banger) or "Mistake Number 3" (lovely ballad). Long live the second British invasion and new wave!
Hi. Love your videos on "First Time Hearing..." I know you love Gladys Knight and the Pips. If you haven't already check out this one: "GLADYS KNIGHT- THE WAY WERE - (LIVE 1974)-REACTION VIDEO." It's a solo performance by Gladys Knight that I think may bring tears to your eyes. Your guys are beautiful and have so much heart.
Boy George had a good voice but he was probably more important as a role model and voice for people who didn't have one. He busted stereotypes.:) Its pop
"Time makes lovers feel like they got something real" I interpret it as quantity vs quality. Some people brag about how long they've been together but how meaningful is the relation? If the only thing you can boast about is how long you've been there something may be lacking.
The long and short of this song is that time doesn't always make a relationship work. Staying together may make you feel like you've got "something real," as the lyrics say, but really all you might be doing is staying together for the sake of staying together and logging in hours as a couple. Time is too valuable to waste on something that isn't working out.
Amber & Jay, Culture Club is an 8️⃣0️⃣’s British 🇬🇧 band that were invading the usa 🇺🇸 music 🎶 market, just like Duran Duran, U2, INXS n many British Bands. Boy George was the lead singer 👩🎤 and for Culture Club, Roy Hay was the lead Guitarist 🎸 & Keyboards 🎹 , Mikey Craig is the Bass Player & Jon Moss is the Drummer 🥁 . U guys need to react to Culture Club's Church ⛪️ I Of The Poisoned Mind; Miss Me Blindj; I'll Tumble For You; Miracles music videos. U guys will enjoy.
This is my favorite Culture Club song considering they had quite a few. The group was very popular in the mid 80's. Besides Boy George's vocals the group are pretty good musicians. Another great song of theirs is Miss Me Blind.
Thankyou for this reaction....when I was growing up...I had a culture club scrapbook that I used to fill with pictures and songs and everything. I took the scrapbook to school and my English teacher said and I quote " If I spent more time with my English compositions instead of writing in my scrapbook then I would pass English with no problem".....Years later I grew up and became a teacher at the school that I attended when I was growing up. My English Teacher became my mentor and yes! He became hooked on BOY GEORGE AND CULTURE CLUB.....True Story....Love you guys....Miss me Blind is another good song...War Song ...xxxx
so much of the 80's music was just all over the place. it was awesome with so many bands coming up and so many different styles. yeah, the genre here is just 80s. lol! :)
I was in my early 20’s in early to mid 80’s. I remember when Culture Club was suddenly there. Everyone love the sound, the look, I think it was referred to as “New Romantic”. I went to Culture Club’s first big tour. My friend and I went into Cobo Hall in Detroit, it was then we realized we had such good seats. The curtain was white, as the music started, the curtain parted, and the entire stage was white, all of the instruments were white, and there they were, Culture Club, costumed in all white. It was the best concert. I still have the program. If you want to view my favorite Culture Club song video, type Culture Club “Mistake Number 3”. It wasn’t a hit, but it’s such a beautiful video.
“Do You Really Want To Hurt Me” is another great song from them. They were so radical back in the 80’s
❤🌟❤
Haha, every time I hear that song I think of The Wedding Singer now.
Was their first and best!
@@justanotherguy7925 me too got it on VHS and dvd great soundtrack to my teens and a cameo from Billy Idol! Rip Alexis arquette.
@@sarablack2547 Billy Idol was great in that
You guys are hitting it out of the park today! Along with "Miss me Blind" my two favorites from them.
LOVE Miss Me Blind!
It’s outstanding!
Same! 💛
I suggested that one, too! It's fantastic!
Miss Me Blind is my absolute FAVORITE Culture Club song!!!
Boy George's Crying Game is a must. It really showcases his voice.
victims the best 😘his voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Agreed
Produced by the Pet Shop Boys too!
Yes. Brilliant song by George. Another I enjoy is Bow Down Mister.
The other two are The War Song and Everything I Own.
But this one does rank high.
I LOVE the way he sings that song
Oh yes this one too!!
Church of the Poison Mind and Victims are great ones. When Culture Club first hit the scene, Boy George's voice was compared to Smokey Robinson's. George's antics often overshadowed his incredible vocals.
Yaassssss!!! 💕💕
Seconding Amanda Gray's Yaassssss!!!
Yessss! Victims for sure.
I was going to recommend Victims as well.
Definitely!
You know it's the 80s when there's a badass sax solo! One of their best ever ever!
Boy George was really good, and was being himself long before it was safe to do so. I had a good friend who came out back then, and said he was inspired by Boy George.

@@redarmysoja He grew up in Eltham. It wasnt the worst area but you probably got a hard time at school if you looked different
I love culture club. Boy George had the smoothest voice. You should react to “Miss me Blind”
One of the most perfect pop songs ever written
their biggest hit, and some would say their best song is "Do you really want to hurt me" That song defines the 80's.
"Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" went to #1 in the UK and topped the charts in 23 countries. Went to #2 in the U.S. "Karma Chameleon" was also a #1 hit in the UK, went to #1 in THIRTY countries, and was #1 in the U.S. 3 weeks running. "Karma Chameleon" was Culture Club's biggest hit.
This one is my favorite
@@donnalombardo1135 Same, Time is timeless
@@donnalombardo1135 ..yep..this is their best song
😍Helen Terry was their back-up singer who you can hear with their harmonies and her higher pitched and more soulful vocals she has an awesome voice.
Helen Terry is AMAZING!!!!!!!
I ADORE her. Black Money is one of my favorites, where she is really featured.
Helen Terry and Martha Wash of Weather Girls fame were two of the most iconic yet underrated voices of the 80s.
Helen Terry’s voice is AWESOME! Before I ever saw a video of Boy George and Culture Club, I always thought Helen Terry was a Black woman because of that gorgeous voice. I was truly shocked to learn that she was white. She sure can belt out those notes!
Such a good song. I think y'all will like Church of the Poison Mind by Culture Club
I love "Time" and "Do you really want to hurt me" but I think "I'll Tumble for Ya" is underrated and totally worth a listen.
For me, Church Of The Poison Mind is a better song than those two.
Yes, I’ll Tumble!!
I agree, I'll Tumble For Ya is such a fun song and my fave by them.
The video is fun, too.
Yeah I loved I’ll Tumble 4 Ya
Time was definitely an old fashioned SOUL record!
80s music is a great decade to relish. Vocals are authentic from that era…no autotune to fix tiny flats and sharps. Just pure human singing.
My girlfriend dragged me to see Boy George and Cyndi Lauper and like most things that she brings me to kicking and screaming… I had an amazing time!!
HA! I did the same with my husband with Michael Jackson. He did not want to go. We left the concert with him yelling "Michael my man!" This was the Bad tour days. Always listen to your women :)
We have seen Cyndi a few times, mostly as an opening act. She was walking the audience and to this day the husband brags "Cyndi Lauper touched me" (which she did)
The Bad tour was perfection!
Love this song. Culture Club was the bomb in the 80s
Yes they were. 💛
Another great Culture Club song is "The War Song". Loving the popular 80's songs today!
Awful song in comparison to their other stuff ,
Lazy repetitive chorus .
@@chrisbayliss3532 It has a good message though I like the song.
I love the War Song. Great catchy tune
Victims is my favourite Culture Club song. Drama, poetry and emotion !
I just saw Culture Club live in Feb. 2023 and they put on an incredible show! Sounded amazing and gave it everything.
Awww man, sooo jealous!
I cast my vote for DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME< it really shows off his vocals. I believe the song was about his secret relationship he had with the drummer of Culture Club.
Back then we called the genre NEW WAVE, but really they also fit into neosoul
The New Romantics as well they were called
Def my favorite from them. When those bells come in at the end, it goes into masterpiece territory
Culture Club was huge in the 80's and was part of the wave of British pop along with Bananarama and The Thompson Twins etc
Bananarama, Culture club, Thompson twin
Bananarama Cruel Summer
Don't forget Duran Duran
You guys can only name 3? There was so many!
Tears For Fears, Spandeau Ballet, Pet Shop Boys, Human League. Just a few names that poop into my mind at the moment.
The song was about his relationship with the drummer in the band who didn't want to publicly acknowledge the relationship with George. The drummer ultimately ended up marrying a woman.
this is truly the best song from culture club, such a roller coaster of emotion it's amazing.
Was wondering when you'd get back to Mr. George & Co! So many more to check out! "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me", "I'll Tumble 4 Ya", "Church of the Poison Mind", "Miss Me Blind", and "It's a Miracle" are all wonderful listens.

All great songs!!
Love It’s A Miracle. Everything on the Colour By Numbers album is great.
I'll add to list: mistake number three
I'll Tumble 4 Ya was the first song that popped in my head. So fun!
Wow, you guys are making me homesick for the 80's!! Culture Club was such a game changing group that influenced people then and now!
We need an 80’s dance night. The list is huge!
yes..!!! an 80's night would be Great
@@Sportsref13 Right!
It would have to last a week
One of the greatest all around pop songs ever created. From the vocals to that bassline, sonic bliss.
I remember when this album came out. I was teenager, working in the record department of a department store...yes I'm that old. Culture Club was the first group to make New Wave mainstream. Check out The Style Council, The Eurythmics and The Thompson Twins for more great British music of this era.
"Long Hot Summer" by The Style Council.
There is never enough Style Council! I vote for My Ever Changing Moods!
@@Escapee5931 One of my all time favourite songs along with Time.
Boy George had a solo hit in the 90s with The Crying Game from the movie of the same name.
that version for me is the best, brilliant vocals and it was produced by the Pet Shop Boys .
One of their BEST hits! They were one of the biggest groups in the 80s. Boy George, the lead singer, was one of the first people to bring the term and the look of being a "Club Kid," in US.

One of the best blue eyed soul singers I’ve ever heard he’s right there with George Michael,Steve perry and Daryl hall,actually he wrote the song about his secret relationship with the drummer in the band.
WHAT?
Absolutely he was! I would include Simply Red in there too (as far as European singers) also
As blue eyed soul.
@@ssshadowwolf6762 ......that's right girl friend.....Boy George was g a y and his lover was the drummer, Jon Moss........
Funniest thing is that Jon wasn't really gay. And George would be mad that Jon would always run off to chase the (female) groupies.
Haha it would take Time to define that relationship.
"Do you really want to hurt me?," is one of their best songs, imho.
"Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" is the song that catapulted them to stardom in the United States. It is definitely worth a listen, and is a bit different from this. For something really different, but equally as awesome, listen to "Church of the Poison Mind."
Their first hit "Do you really wanna hurt me" and also "Everything I own" are songs you must do. "Church of the poison mind" is another great song.
The “Crying Game” will give you a sample of his sound as a solo artist. It’s fantastic!
LMAO!

Church of the poison mind is a good one as well
Absolutely!!... and when Miss Helen Terry let's rip, it blows the mind... and the speakers... ;)
YEAHHH!!! My Boy... George! The long version of this song is bomb. The musical arrangement is Oh my GOD! Loved that you did this reaction 💖.
Baby girl you are so right they are so adverse…One of my favorite UK 🇬🇧 bands

This band was huge .. and George is still huge.. He wrote some great songs ! love the intro and the way the bass kicks in ...
Well you two are just hitting my jams today. First #teenamarie. Now one of my faves from Culture Club. Sweet!
The arrangement on this track is second to none, the harmony's the orchestration is just superb.
If you like Culture Club, you would love The Thompson Twins.
"I'll Tumble For Ya" and "It's a Miracle" were two more Culture Club hits that showed their musical diversity and are very catchy.
My 2nd favorite by them was waaaayyy after their heyday. From 2000 " I just wanna be loved". Did well in the UK, but unknown here
“That’s the way” is also a great song. One of my faves.
"Victims" is another amazing CC song. It really showcases Boy George's vocal skills 💖
Black Money is a must for Culture Club fans. It also has to be the live version. Boy and Helen Terry singing together is like a little piece of heaven.
Everybody liked Boy George-even those who would never admit it. His voice was smooth and Culture Club banged out hit after hit during the ‘80s. You really have to do “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me.” It was their first hit in America and was different than anything being played at that time. 🔥🤣
Back in the 80's many ppl paid so much attention to Boy George's look than the fact that dude can sing!
Especially here in the states. All they wanted to talk about in his interviews was the way he dressed and his sexuality. In most interviews you can see how upset he becomes that they won’t talk about the music and ignored the other members in the band. He has walked off sets on multiple occasions after saying I’m not going to answer those questions anymore.
But then without the unique look they maybe wouldnt of got the attention to of cracked the charts back then.
This song really takes me back to the 80s.
You are both so much fun to watch! Even songs that aren’t on my favorites list are fun when listening to them with you!!!
This song was written by Boy George for a fellow band member with whom he had a relationship when the band started gaining fame this individual broke of the relationship with Boy George fearing his lifestyle would be discovered. Many of the songs on this album were written by Boy George in an attempt to get that individual to return. There was a interesting documentary on the subject where Boy George detailed the whole story
Jon Moss the Drummer of course - surprised you never said.
YAY!!! Culture Club was the first band I ever saw in concert, and they still hold a special place in my heart. And my mom still loves Boy George - much to my surprise!
next time you guys should react on his solo career songs like the Crying Game
This is a very underrated song from a very underrated band, and this was a legit band. One of their best :)
My favorite of theirs
You must listen to Culture Club’s biggest song, Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? Boy George’s voice is so smooth, lush on this track.

Boy George is amazing, i recommend Culture Club - Do You Really Want to Hurt Me
Saw culture club X mas 1983 loved George since.
Most of Culture Club’s songs were written about Boy George’s relationship with the drummer, who was a closet gay man. Karma Chameleon was one of them.
Boy George and the Culture Club... I loved their music in the 80's

"Time makes lovers feel like they got something real" I interpret it as quantity vs quality. Some people brag about how long they've been together but how meaningful is the relation? If the only thing you can boast about is how long you've been there something may be lacking.
This Absolute Classic Comes With A Powerful Message & Positive Vibes,,
ARGENT "HOLD YOUR HEAD UP"
George really does have a nice voice, I wish he'd do a Gorillaz collab, back then, we just called Culture Club New Wave.
The long and short of this song is that time doesn't always make a relationship work. Staying together may make you feel like you've got "something real," as the lyrics say, but really all you might be doing is staying together for the sake of staying together and logging in hours as a couple. Time is too valuable to waste on something that isn't working out.

Regae, jazz and r&b mixed together, very mellow. The lyrics is really hitting the mood.
This is my favorite Culture Club song considering they had quite a few. The group was very popular in the mid 80's. Besides Boy George's vocals the group are pretty good musicians. Another great song of theirs is Miss Me Blind.
Loved Culture Club…. A lot of great songs! Boy George has a great voice.
One of my favorites is “Victims”. Some of their songs are really deep.
Thankyou for this reaction....when I was growing up...I had a culture club scrapbook that I used to fill with pictures and songs and everything. I took the scrapbook to school and my English teacher said and I quote " If I spent more time with my English compositions instead of writing in my scrapbook then I would pass English with no problem".....Years later I grew up and became a teacher at the school that I attended when I was growing up. My English Teacher became my mentor and yes! He became hooked on BOY GEORGE AND CULTURE CLUB.....True Story....Love you guys....Miss me Blind is another good song...War Song ...xxxx
This is their famous love ballad. 'Mistake No. 3' is another.
so much of the 80's music was just all over the place. it was awesome with so many bands coming up and so many different styles. yeah, the genre here is just 80s. lol! :)
This was definitely my favorite Culture Club song. I could listen to this over and over.......and fall in love....sort of!!
I was in my early 20’s in early to mid 80’s. I remember when Culture Club was suddenly there. Everyone love the sound, the look, I think it was referred to as “New Romantic”. I went to Culture Club’s first big tour. My friend and I went into Cobo Hall in Detroit, it was then we realized we had such good seats. The curtain was white, as the music started, the curtain parted, and the entire stage was white, all of the instruments were white, and there they were, Culture Club, costumed in all white. It was the best concert. I still have the program.
If you want to view my favorite Culture Club song video, type Culture Club “Mistake Number 3”. It wasn’t a hit, but it’s such a beautiful video.
best culture club song ever these words are spot on time is ever so precious
I love this song!!! I sang it at open mic Friday’s in my 8th grade choir class 🎶❤️
