Boy George - Karma Chameleon (Acoustic 1983)

[@markrush5013]

i saw him in a recent interview where he was asked if he ever got tired of doing this song....he said "no" because it had bought him six houses...hahaha...great answer!

Happened to me with a couple of girls (ninphomaniacs really very much attracted by me, not joking ahahah). Peoples knew we was hooked up just looking at us nearby each other for the way they looked at me. Not a good idea if you fond your privacy. A hahaha I was mad for that. Because I didn't want these stories arrive to the other peoples. My business. But they was uncontrollable... Their looking at me wasnt horny, not when there was other peoples, was just like in the video. That was enough to make peoples say we was hooked up. And it was true...

[@andrewphillips6309]

To write a song like Karma Chameleon and be able to sing it like that, makes him a legend in my opinion!! The song is great because its a very fun song however its about bad experiences! When I'm upset I listen to Karma Chameleon because it relates a lot too my life!!

Beautiful voice. Even my mom loved listening to my music when I was a teenager.

[@justforjacob]

i like the embellishments he gives to this live acoustic performance. it is very different from the regular track and you can hear george is much more comfortable singing it this way, his way. my favorite part is when he says "our love is stronger" cus in the original version he just says strong

[@welovewokingshow5791]

Same here - Love the embellishments!....so much that when I sing this on open mic's....I use stronger instead of strong, and I also copy his 'without conviction' and 'an addiction' from this version.....makes the song even more amazing, and more heartfelt.
