shirley temple moment

"Shirley Temple Moment" is a track from the Culture Club box set, of the guys in the recording studio attempting to record Victims for their 2nd album, Colour By Numbers, but their tempers got in the way! Says George (in an interview for www.remembertheeighties.com) "I had heard about that tape for years and it was almost one of those urban-myth things - everyone kept saying there was this tape going round of Culture Club rowing and when I heard it I thought it was hysterical, and I thought it was hysterical that we were trying to perform this beautiful song and it was all 'you're a cunt!' and 'you fat bastard!'... what came out of it was just so funny, but that was always the way - you fought all the time and then something really magical would happen!"

george: "Get it in your little thick head, get it in your brain, right, I'm serious, get it in your brain, I'm serious right," jon: "Why can't you concentrate" george: "Get it in your brain, I mean it, OK I mean it, I'm dead serious, Jon, get it in your brain."...

[@lotemal10]

george :I've the strangest void for you... Oh, 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 If 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..." Pull the strings of emotion..." Don't know where to come in... roy: "I just told you where you came in!" george: "Bye"(as he leaves the studio)

[@lotemal10]

jon: "How dare you blame me for that" george: "You're sacked" jon: "But you walked off" george: "No, he's sacked right, there's no working with him" jon: "Stop it, I know you..." mikey: "How can he be sacked, Roy, George? He can't be sacked, there's a lot of legislation there you're chatting about man, it is" george: "... don't do that to me again, right" george: "... called me a soft target..." jon: "it's slightly different George" george: "no it's not"

[@lotemal10]

jon: "1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 3, 4" george:"Oh, the victims we know so well They shine in your eyes when they kiss and tell Strange places we've never seen But you're always there like a ghost in my dream And I keep on telling you Please don't do the things you do When you do those things, pull my puppet strings

[@SophiaD2616]

Lotem Al George: Come on you'll get a free head gun if you do this. Roy: Oh good, we can blow your head up Jon: Yeah, you'll get a free red boy Roy: Come on!

[@Kidda991]

I love this moment. I think that George got more upset on Jon because he didn't defend him/protect him d'awwwwwww that's why he was yelling at Jon. *so cute*

[@lessismore8533]

Really?

[@frankieshane]

I've always LOVED this! Thx for posting!

[@SamanthaN92]

Wow I wish I could see a actual video of this!!! 😂😂😂 George was a diva even back then 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lessismore8533]

Gorge was diva, Jon wasnt cooperative and sadly Roy couldn't keep his coo.

[@cynant2912]

They were just all tired!! In the studio all day!! Really have taken a toll on them.

[@lotemal10]

george: "...Why would I end it? In fact I'm worried..." mikey: "Oh, promises" george: "Get it in your little thick head, Jon" jon: "Don't have a go at me, I've done nothing, I've been in here all day working, you can't even fucking sing for 5 minutes"

[@AidenkA]

WHY is GEORGE so mad? I LOVE HIS BRITICH ACCENT THO! i love this man! the best gay man ever!!

[@shanitrahan9904]

I just love the way George and Jon moss fights how they really feel about each other I've never had a copy of George's books straight and take it like a man where can I find it so I can buy it

[@SpookOfHearts99]

Yes, but that was ages in. Because the fight started because George was trying to sing and Roy told him to be quiet - so it's all Roy's fault!! *stares at Roy evilly* Still, have a thumbs up. :D

[@claudiajadeGrioli69]

shows how toxic they all were especially towards george

[@jimcarreyonline]

This is funny.lol When I was little girl I had a huge crush on George. I remember that they fought a lot and George used to say "Any band that says they never fight are liars" Some magazine even published some pics of them fighting in the studio. When your in the studio for hrs somebody is bound to get cranky and start fighting.lol

[@lessismore8533]

So true! Long studio days will make anyone cranky

[@SannieGirl5]

yeah its there for sure.. it's called shirley temple moments and it's on the first cd

[@Sezza333]

Lol I've gotta say, this is really quite entertaining :P

[@louanne801]

The fights between George and Jon are legendary but Roy is a hot head too! What does it say about my state of affairs when I can recognize who they all are just by their voices?

[@lessismore8533]

to be fair I think Roy was trying to be the peacemaker but let himself get sucked in because of George's rudeness

[@lessismore8533]

At the end of the day, Roy & Mikey were the more mature ones in the group especially Mikey.

[@lessismore8533]

Anyone can recognize their voices!! Lol

[@MegaAdi29]

It seems that some of the original lyrics were changed, before the final product came.

[@jeannetruitt7176]

Beautiful voices in the background of our ever enlightened youth

[@BoyGeorgeLover1]

Hehe Thanks For Uploading It Sanne :D Loved It :P

[@jimcarreyonline]

Sounds like they were all feeling like victims of something lol

[@SpookOfHearts99]

I cannot stop listening to this, I didn't know George could be so evil!!! Can someone please send me the script? Oh and by the way what did Jon do??

[@vanesa23874]

A true gem!

[@vikmegha]

BG is a multi-millionaire luv & has a mansion in Hampstead London.

[@SpookOfHearts99]

Hooraaaaay, I have the script! Oh my goth, this is so much funnier when you know what they're on about!!

[@lessismore8533]

"Alight Girls!" _Jon

[@GraceMcKagan]

Georgie: "You sit there and let him do that, you go to fuckin' hell" LOL at the two lovers I love this o^0^o

[@lessismore8533]

George actually said that to Roy

[@Jene51]

I was wondering if you would be so kind as to sent me the script also? I would really appreciate it.

[@tejanalove1946]

Wow this is so cool, I mean it was funny but, at the same time George sound so mad at Jon, I don't blame him, Jon should have defended him when Roy called him a "big fat wanker" Jon say something to Roy, I think George was right on getting mad and wanted to sack Roy. It was so cute how George was telling Jon "I'm serious Jon" in his little sexy voice, I love him.

[@tejanalove1946]

Thanks, I wish Jon and George could fine there way back to each other, I still think they belong together.

[@tejanalove1946]

I wonder if anyone else thinks the same?

[@tejanalove1946]

I'm glad to hear that, thanks that made my day, I can't wait to see them!

[@tejanalove1946]

I'm in Chicago what city are you in? I hope he comes here first lol.

[@tejanalove1946]

Your lucky, cause I believe they were going to LA first, and yes they are great!

[@SannieGirl5]

yeah this is real ;)

[@SpookOfHearts99]

Hurah thanks!!! xox

[@dinoramagana3016]

Hahahaha I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@browneyedbeauty612]

Hah. Yeh, George is broke and clouds are green. And us BG fans aren't horrible people, so don't say crap like that when you know nothing.

[@PureBloodHoneyBoy]

Wow! Very... Interesting...

[@SpookOfHearts99]

I have two NEW questions: a) What was with the tost comment and how did it relate to the cock comment? b) Curse it, I can't remember this one. Toodle-oo, it would be nice if you people could acknowledge me for once!!

[@RainbowBrite80]

Where can I get the box set?

[@SpookOfHearts99]

I'm sorry if I offended you, truly I am. I admit I only know George's side of the story. I wasn't serious when I said that. I apologise again. And by the way, I don't have any money anyhow, I'm just a kid. But thank you for helping me see the light.

[@kokichi_c0z]

Jon: OH FUCKIN WAKE UP, YOU FUCKIN WAKE UP A few minutes later.... George: YOU SIT THERE AND LET HIM DO THAT Jon: IVE DONE NOTHING MATE George: YOU GO TO FUCKIN HELL MORE MINUTES LATER.... Jon: Can’t we do it without him Mikey: yeah let’s do it without him Ok I get why they were fighting. You know that George was the main person of the group (Club) and if you would ask anyone who was in Culture Club they would probably say Boy George first thing. Well another reason is that George wanted to go to parties and leave Mikey, Jon, and Roy Behind so George could be by himself and not spend time with his group buddies. George said once,” I never really liked any videos, I just liked the songs.” That is a very true quote because I read it in my Boy George book I got for Easter. They should care about Jon because (this was from my book) he was in a car accident and no one, not even George came to see him in the hospital. I thought that was sad. Well, I hope you understand how Boy George, Jon Moss, Mikey Craig, and Roy Hay were fighting a lot.

[@SpookOfHearts99]

The lyrics aren't right, George screws around with them, and then blames Jon for everything. Will someone please tell me what Jon did?? Oh my goth, I love the way George says to Mikey 'You'll get a free air gun if you do this,' and then Mikey says 'You'll get a free rent-boy if YOU do this.' Ha ha Now tell me What did Jon do? WHAT DID HE DO? WHAT DID HE DO???? ARGHHHHHHHHH

[@yatgrave1120]

Jon didn't defend him.
