In this song Boy George was referencing equality, taking a page from the Rastafarians and their ““mantra”. The red is for the blood of all living things in the world. The gold is for all of the treasures in the world that people cherish. The green is for the earth that people walk on. George was looking for acceptance and equality, in his personal and professional life.

[@evangelina3541]

Thanks, I've often wondered about those references but never sought to look it up.

[@klaptongroovemaster]

I never paid attention to the words. I remember hating the song in Jr. High, lol, but I sat at the Rocker/Stoner table. As an adult listening now, it's nice hearing this message. But the music is still bubble-gum pop af. LOL

I soooo agree with you.100%

[@darksideofthemood]

If i remember correctly this song was written for a fellow bandmate who was in an on/off relationship with Boy George yet couldn't bring himself to come out. Tensions were constant and both of them were suffering. Chameleon because in society he could hide the fact that he was gay quite easily

[@janeenwhite6458]

This is true. Boy George said this was about the drummer of the band John I think his name is... anyway, they had a whole secret affair cause BG was sorta kind of out or at least not overtly heterosexual in the 80s/not seen as straight and John didn't want to be roped into that image. I think BG may have said John didn't think their relationship was "gay" or something like that....basically Boy George wrote this and other songs and lyrics about his extremely closeted boyfriend at the time.

[@ameyer1970]

Actually the song 'do you really want to hurt me' was about the drummer.

[@darksideofthemood]

@@ameyer1970 This one as well, actually. The relationship truly did inspire BG a lot, for the wrong reasons.. sadly

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

I know what you were thinking at first- yep, he’s a male and that’s how he dressed- Boy George-an icon- hell of a singer/writer- PLEASE react to “do you really wanna hurt me.” I think it will really resonate more with ya- it did with all of us back in the day! 💛❤️✌️✨

There's a mashup of this with M. J. Rock My World thats sweet. Do You Really Want To Rock My World.

The first time I seen Culture Club they were on a varity show that my brother was watching, he said to me come look at this woman she is sure ugly but she has a voice. I looked an told him that was a man he was so glad because he really liked his singing. I love the song Do you really wanna hurt me.

[@rachel-in-the-208]

I can’t remember how old I was. Pre teen I guess? (I’m 47 now) George and CC were just hitting it big and they were on Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Years’ Eve (probably singing this song!) - My neighbor was at our house and he said “that is the ugliest girl I have ever seen!!” 🤣🤣🤣 - After all these years I still laugh over it!

[@J_Gamble]

Yes. This one for sure...Do You Really Wanna Hurt Me

[@NatsumiTakanawa]

Boy George, the lead singer, was a gay man with a terrific voice and, when he was young, a beautiful face with big blue eyes. He still is a great singer and has done other top hits. He was unique then and he's unique now, has done some really intense and meaningful songs. That voice.

[@alxandramitchell3074]

There's nobody who lived through the 80's that didn't know every word to most of Culture Clubs songs...lol...You should check out "Do you really want to hurt me"

[@JaneRtn]

love Georgie boy (Real name “George O’Dowd”) or known as Boy George ... good vocalist and a very decent guy ... had his share of “pop star” lifestyle and working thru his demons from fairly troubled periods during his childhood (abusive father) Now spends time coaching and bringing new talent (The Voice UK and Australia) as well as various charitable causes. Haven’t kept up to date with his more recent music so hopefully someone else knows more?

[@janeenwhite6458]

They still make music. As recent as 2019 or 2018 I believe

Boy George is an icon. He was so beautiful and androgynous. Moms and dads in the 80s flipped out when they realized he was a man. I was in love with him. Hes still handsome but looks like a guy now.

[@crosscatch]

You mean, when they realized he was a boy. He's a man now. Man George they call him now. :-D Early one morning when was in London and on my way to the Oxford Circus station and saw Man George. He was taller than I'd imagined. He looked good w/o makeup.

@@missgmoma not a lifestyle. If you meant his sexuality

[@missgmoma]

@@finderkeeperrrs thanks for the reply. Actually, yes that’s what I was referring to. Although I had no issues with his sexuality whatsoever many did & overlooked his talent because of it & unfair judgement of him. Especially at that time era, he was a trailblazer & opened up a better path for many to follow.

[@michaelloveland1330]

So I was a psychiatric nurse, which above medicine and psychology occasionally demands more physical restraint of some folks. (26 years, never ever hurt a patient, and only got dinged once myself.) Anyhow, we based it on a course called Management of Assaultive Behavior. (Every cop should take this course - and pass.) One big class I taught had about a dozen new emplyees. What I didn't know was one was ex-UCLA women's basketball guard, another taught martial arts in his spare time, one was 6' 10" and a bit clumsy, and one li'l ol' gal was 4' 10", stretching. To pass the class, each one had to pin me to the floor - without damage! Every one passed, even the wee girl I had my doubts about. It's all a skill set, you see. Now, why am I telling this story? The day that wee girl (who became good friends with me for decades) was able to restrain me, she was dressed just precisely exactly like Boy George. It was one of her favorite looks. And, let me say, she carried it off far better that Boy George!

[@maydays123]

[@marggie4129]

Yes that should be a required course for police! They can't take down one person even if there are 4 of them

Funny story. But credit stull goes to George as the OG.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Boy George and Culture Club blew up in around 1982 I was 8, and it changed my life. You understood the point of the lyrics..exactly. He just wanted to enjoy life being himself and free from judgments and oppression. Being a shy and isolated child, I could not express my emotions. This man meant everything to me. Most of his wording is metaphorical/ emotional/ spiritual. His gifted vocals and emotionally deep lyrical talents.. were the entire point. George saw the world through a uniquely emotional lens. I love him to this day.

[@caroljones8326]

Boy George was the singer of Culture Club. Loved them in the 80's and still today. Boy George is awesome 😉🎶🎶

[@ravenlord7144]

You were so happy to see brothers (and sisters) in the video, and I wanted to comment that the bassist of Culture Club, Mikey Craig, is Jamaican. :) At about 0:30 of the official video (not your reaction video), you see him standing to the left, elegantly attired in the black top hat and wool coat.

[@angelfeather7547]

BOY GEORGE! THE LEGEND! He made make up and his look so fun. Everyone started imitating his style. It was mostly the girls but, some boys did too. He had a style all his own. I loved the 80's because, it was like I could be a chameleon. One day I could look like Vince Neil, then Blondie, a cowgirl, a break dancer, a punk, anything I wished. It was a blast. I could even talk Valley girl sometimes to crack people up. Put on those leggings, poof my hair, throw on pumps and be a Valley girl for the day. This takes me down memory lane that's for sure.

[@danabryant8815]

My Gen. And diffently left parents Stunned. Once they realized he was a guy. 1st ?????? Even followers felt look was his Style at the time and not reflection of Sexuality. Today he's a guy.

Dana Bryant I am glad I wasn’t in high school in the 80’s. My parents would not have let me play or sing it.i already had 4 kids, my girls and I would dance around the living room. They never questioned his look or voice not matching his look. They loved his songs and Mili Vanili.😀👩🏼‍🦳

Culture Club came out in the 80's...at a time where being openly gay wasn't politically correct. Boy George pushed those boundaries as best as he could. In the Black community we didn't care what he was...we rocked him because the nikka could sang!!!

[@suziv532]

Boy George was an open book ..you can actually hear the sadness in his voice even in the happy songs 😢

[@NikkiJoLuceroWitch]

I saw them LIVE...1985... The first time I heard them was on MTV...our KZbin, lol... I didn't know if he was a guy, or girl...because the groups name came and went so fast, no replay, no GOOGLE, so I had to wait to see it again, and then I saw Boy George and Culture Club...He has a Beautiful voice! He has loads of great songs...I was smitten by him even if he is Gay...i still love him. What is the meaning behind 'Karma Chameleon'? Boy George once explained about the song: "The song is about the terrible fear of alienation that people have, the fear of standing up for one thing. "It's about trying to suck up to everybody. Basically, if you aren't true, if you don't act like you feel, then you get Karma-justice, that's nature's way of paying you back." Boy George wrote most of the band's lyrics, and many of his words were inspired by his relationship with the group's drummer, Jon Moss. Their difficult romantic/professional relationship was also the inspiration for the line: "You're my lover, not my rival" in 'Karma Chameleon'.

[@briganfree3656]

Yes the singer , Boy George, confused a lot of people. He was the first Gender bender. As a very “out” gay man. He sang “I’m a man without conviction. He dressed in a way which mixed traditional gender clothing with a large dash of his own personal style which kicked off the fashion for gender bending, mixing it all up, encouraging gay and would be trans people to be seen and be proud. Long before the rainbow warriors of today.

[@zoemn24]

Boy George!!! He is such a character, and quite an icon in British culture. ❤️

[@watcherwlc53]

When I was a teenager, this song was a current hit, but we didn't have a satellite dish and therefore no MTV so we didn't see the video nor see the sing title printed correctly. My mom and I both loved the song and we mis-heard the lyrics as "Come-a come-a come-a to me Leah" We just didn't hear it correctly. The name Leah was meaningful to us due to a prior family friend we had named pets after.

George actually explained that the lyrics of a lot of their songs , were about the o again, off again relationship between him and a guy in the band had. I forgot which one, though and that the guy had problems admitting it to himself that they even had one. At least that's what George said in an interview.

[@xoxxobob61]

They guy he had a relationship was with the Drummer Jon Moss although he always denied it! Drama always seems to create good songs though.

[@saranonimus9211]

Thing is, we are far more accepting of LGBTQ people today than we were in the 80s, and we're still not completely chill as a society. Even Freddie Mercury felt a lot of pressure to put up a front. At the height of his fame, George Michael felt it necessary to live a double life, and the weight of that had a lot to do with his tragic addictions. Just gotta say...in context, Boy George had balls of solid rock to be so uncompromising with his image. It took guts. #respect

That album went quadruple platinum. You dont see that nowadays. Over 10 million copies sold.

Boy George is a fantastic singer. He hit his peak of stardom with this song and a few more when I was in high school. He was very flamboyant and a little controversial at the time. He had a terrible drug problem for a lot of years. In interviews he described just how horrible those days of drug use were. He came close to death a couple of times by overdosing. Many of his friends ended up dying because of their addictions. Eventually he sought professional help and became drug free. He said that if it wasn't for making that decision he would have definitely died.

Music was good in the 80's because it was about music first and being cool second.

I won tickets to see Culture Club in Santa Cruz back in the day. Had no idea about Boy George, I expected something like a soulful quartet of young black kids. The lady back up singer nearly stole the show. They were really great! About half the young people at the show were dressed like Boy George. Too bad he got hooked on horse.

I always thought “Move move move away” was one of the best songs of the 80’s.....

Rasta colours The Rastafarian colours are red, green and gold. Sometimes black is added. These colours are chosen because: Red signifies the blood of those killed for the cause of the black community, throughout Jamaican history

Boy George didn't care about race religion or anything, he saw people for who they were in the hopes he would be seen that way himself, loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams, hes a man of conviction to his beliefs, he wanted a unified world

Do you really want to hurt me is another one . I know you said don't judge but just a fact, he was arrested in NYC for possession of cocaine and got community service, the press hounded him because he looked nothing like he did in the video. But that is the price of being famous!

[@nadineamedee9668]

That's my man, Boy George is still hot, he's touring in 2023, love him ❤❤❤

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

I like your interpretation of the song.

[@toangaseti]

You know a song is good when it makes you put down your weed for a hot two seconds.

[@stephaniefarrant]

I love how you were confused about George's gender but politely refrained from saying anything. However it's a shame that the reason you had to do that is because trolls would get butt hurt and start attacking simply because you were unsure. Those kind of people are among society's worst.

[@MissTBrown-qd9dl]

Most of these songs were about George's relationship with the drummer Jon, to this day Jon won't admit that they were a couple.

[@Starke667]

"I'm a man..." his eyes get wide lol. It was a very androgynous time.

[@elizabethgari4909]

The song was written about his relationship with the drummer, his then boyfriend.

[@antoinettelopes]

Everyone loved Culture Club and Boy George back in the day. They had a ton of hits. My favorite is "Time (Clock of the Heart)". George has his own KZbin channel and is active here and on Instagram doing new music all the time.

[@shannonallen2993]

My dad always said Boy George was " a pretty man". RIP to them both.

[@latentgamer5762]

We've actually fell back a little since the 80's. 80's were very BE YOUR SELF. If you didn't get in someone's face.... only the lowest of the low cared.

[@shadownightroad4340]

Boy George always has inspirational music. Love him. He definitely shows it in “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me”. Also another good one is “Tumble For Ya”
