      Hungry Like The Wolf was my favorite song as a child. From like age 6 until probably my teens when I branched out into rap and metal. But my absolutely favorite Duran Duran song of all time is probably Come Undone, great video too. There is another song called Come Undone by Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan, which was from like 2010. Both are slow, Duran Duran comes from a sort of frantic drowning overwhelmed feeling in life, whereas Campbell and Lanegan are talking about a relationship.
      Another great video would U2 Numb. That song is ridiculous- if you don't react to it, you should watch it anyway- with lyrics. The other U2 song I recommend is The Sweetest Thing, it's about domestic violence a man experiences by the woman he loves.

      Yeah, we didn't discuss it cause it was apparent from how he dressed, and his talent outshined any of that anyway. Just like we all figured about George Michael...but he could SING so we didn't have time to dwell on his personality.
      That's the difference then and now, these new artists gotta super promote what kinda person they like for an audience because they lack so much in the talent end.

    Lots of people in this thread talking like Boy George is not still around. He very much is. He survived the HIV pandemic when his community was ravaged, he survived addiction, he survived numerous bouts with the law, and vocal issues that permanently changed his voice. He's still touring (well, pre COVID), and obviously so grateful to be here doing what he loves, writing great music, and posting tons of vegan food on insta.

  • @mikaelpeltonen96

    First of all, there was a movement called New Romantic in the 80s which drew inspiration from neo-romanticism of late 1800s but the video is a mix of these eras, it didn't really look like this in the 80s or the 1800s. What comes to red, gold and green, they are the colors of the rastafari movement which Boy George (the singer) was into, that's why he had those dreadlocks. The red stands for the blood of black martyrs that was shed around the world during their struggle for liberation, equal rights and justice. Yellow represents the wealth of the homeland, Africa, particularly gold. And finally the green represents the beauty and the vegetation of the promise land, Ethiopia.
    Boy George explained in an interview that 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.” Based on this I would conclude that the chameleon refers to these people who change opinions according to their current company. George also dated the band's drummer when he wrote this. They had relationship problems, the person was sweet to him in private but distant and stand-offish in public. George was bothered that they couldn't show affections in open.

It's about trying to suck up to everybody. Basically, if you aren't true, if you don't act as you feel, then you get Karma-justice, that's nature's way of paying you back." In response to claims from singer-songwriter Jimmy Jones that the song plagiarizes his hit "Handy Man", George stated, "I might have heard it once, but it certainly wasn't something I sat down and said, 'Yeah, I want to copy this.'" In an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, Boy George revealed that he wrote the song while he was on vacation in Egypt and that the other members of Culture Club were initially hesitant to record it as they felt it sounded like a country and western song.
    The harmonica part was played by Judd Lander, who had been a member of the Merseybeat group The Hideaways in the 1960s. The song was originally to be called "Cameo Chameleon"; the band was recorded in interviews in mid-1983 stating this was to be the title of their next single. "
