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.
Thanks, I've often wondered about those references but never sought to look it up.
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
Soooooooo funny! I was at the Rocker/Stoner table too!
dudewheresmyjunk then explain... I can’t stand when people say “it’s wrong” but then don’t correct it. If you know something then share it with the rest of the class!! 😀
Ikr. Was she really incorrect or are they being Contrary Mary....hate her.😒
You really gotta hear their song “do you really wanna hurt me.” Pleeease! ❤️💛✌️✨
Yes he must hear. ❤❤
Agree!
I love that song
Yes, he should have seen this one ☝️ first and then he could have been awoken as the rest of us pre-teens were in the 80’s 😂😎
I soooo agree with you.100%
It was the 80s. I tell you... our music had no color no gender no boundaries. It was about fun inclusion and talent! Boy George made his mark and it’s legend. Best flippin make up ever ❤️
@Tim Billings Greed in the 90's. Terror and an US vs THEM mentality in the 00's. Total Brainwashing and apathy in 10's and a middle class sliding to the gutter the whole time. Since you asked.
Don't be blind. Life might have been great in your world but there were those that were still getting treated horribly. We just didn't have the capabilities for so much information about the world around us back then. Wake up!!!!!!
@@tm2bee It was getting progressively better since the 60s. Baby steps moving forward lasting two decades. I saw the big downward plunge when some businessman from NYC got into politics. He revved up and reeled back the Nation 70 years to the bigoted pre-1960s
Hell ya ... Hes a trained makeup artist. A sweetheart in real life.
@@Honey-bh2jh Fifty years from now people are going to be saying there was still a LOT of stigma and unnecessary hate against homosexuality back then in 2020
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
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.
Actually the song 'do you really want to hurt me' was about the drummer.
@@ameyer1970 This one as well, actually. The relationship truly did inspire BG a lot, for the wrong reasons.. sadly
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"
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.
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!
Yes. This one for sure...Do You Really Wanna Hurt Me
And all the ignorance about his gender expression and calling him an “ugly she” is exactly why we need representation in this world.
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.
My favorite British club boy. He was so thrilled just to be accepted.
George: "Im a maaaaaaan..."
Mr. Video 🤔
✌🏼❤
Should we tell him about Dead or Alive? You Spin Me. 😉
Oh hell yeah!! Such a great track, loved the 80s. 👍🇬🇧😁💞
Hahaha yep
You read my mind!!
Hey,hey,hey, no I think his head would SPIN off cx
Hey,hey,hey what about Adam Ant hehehe. Cx
Yes people are people that everyone be themselves. They have another great song called Church of the Poison Mind. Great reaction.
Definitely my favorite of theirs! Great suggestion.
Oh yeah, great suggestion! I loved Church of the Poison Mind!
Ohh ohhh forgot about that one poison mind song yeah baby.
"People are people" - Depeche Mode another great 80's jam.
Thats deep in the 80's
Try "The Cure" if you dont know them and want to go deeeper into this.
"Close to me" or
"Lullaby"
would be a good start.
Btw: The Hendrix shirt is fucking awesome !
Big tnx to the donater !:)
Greetings from Switzerland !
I love The Cure!
I couldn’t agree MORE! First listen would have to be the perfect pop song “Just Like Heaven”
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
Yes please The Cure!!!
Love Cats!
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.
One if my friend's all-time favorite songs. He passed away very recently so I'll keep it in my heart for different reasons now. 🕊️🙏
Boy George is so underrated. I love their song “Time”
Boy George is far from underrated
He was NEVER underrated ever! I was a teen in the 80's he was everything! Ppl use the word underrated to much, not saying you in particular I just see it being used a lot. He's an icon!
I loved Culture Club.. n All the girls my age back then. My poor mother was so concerned.... LOL. Then at 12 years old i switch to loving band Duran Duran. Mom was very relieved for that... 😅
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?
They still make music. As recent as 2019 or 2018 I believe
Check out his song 'God' from around 2016.
Also, more recently Let Somebody Love You ua-cam.com/video/McifsS0OYlo/v-deo.html and Life ua-cam.com/video/51lde0inQYg/v-deo.html , both beautiful.
George is done with The Voice tho but it was fun while it lasted
CULTURE CLUB REQUEST..... DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME. TGERE FIRST NUMBER 1 HIT
Love this song and band!! Boy George is an icon. Another good jam by them is Black Money
That whole album is so good.
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.
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.
I’m truly lucky bc I was little and my mom was just like well I guess he just likes dressing way. She always made it easy to not judge.
did you ever see Georges friend Marylin? He dated the singer of the band Bush that later married gwen stefani.
@@A2Z83 yes... 💘
Boy George was the singer of Culture Club. Loved them in the 80's and still today. Boy George is awesome 😉🎶🎶
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.
Ok up dancin and vacuuming lol
Culture Club was awesome.
Behind the makeup and the costumes there's a velvet voice and a beautiful soul that is Boy George.
Boy George!!! He is such a character, and quite an icon in British culture. ❤️
They have SO many jams ... Do You Really Want to Hurt Me, I'll Tumble for Ya, Time (Clock of the Heart), Mistake #3, I'm Afraid of Me .... George's voice is legendary!!
Dude, your reaction was priceless! OMG, when you put the smoke down @ 02:30!!!!!!! You made my day, thanks man!
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.
One of the catchiest songs ever written! Love It.
Boy George stirred things up back in the 80's...adults were not ready for this glorious piece of work. Love this song..it's pure fun.
Boy George had a unique voice; he's an amazing artists, his makeup is who he is; I luv his music
"Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge." ...Carl Jung.
I can't help but sing this song when it comes on. It's so catchy!
Was reading through the comments & someone said "People are People" which is actually the title to another 80's hit from the group Depeche Mode. Good song too w/ a great message!
That background Harmony kicking and the harmonica taking it on home! React to " I know you miss me" The jam! The music,the beast! Soulful! This song is the one that drew most of the black community to listen to was known as "Boy George". Because as I think back we never called the group by name,but "Boy George".
One of the biggest hits from the 80's.
He is a man in love with one of the men in his group,the man doesn’t want anyone knowing about their secret relationship.that’s why he wrote this song
3:32 into the song obvious lyrics that people miss. "When We Came Our Love Is Strong ". Give Away Clue especially cos he's singing to his Partner in the crowd.
The singer his name is Boy George he definitely is one of a kind
Boy George is still out the. He did solo projects, and Culture Club got back together and toured. They did a show in my area 3 years ago at a benefit and I was blessed to meet him. I idolized him growing up and he was so nice. Brief meeting chatted for about 10min, but one of the best 10min of my life. He is an awesome artist and a wonderful person!
He also dappled in house music DJ-ing and features on some Ministry Of Sound Mix albums with Pete Tong. He was good live, great for us 90’s kids!
This is a true classic by a great group. I grew up listening to this song during the 1980's.
I love Boy George! He's quite the character and his style is still just as wacky.
Boy George sings: I'm a man....
Mr Video: Are you, though?
You caught that to huh? LOL
🤣😂😳👍
When beavis and butthead watched that video, butthead said, "he's not even a boy"
@@bdizzle2144 "This video needs, like, some car accidents" 😂
😝❣️💯
You need to make your own vocabulary book , LOL !!! """new words & terms of 2020 by Mr. Video, BRILLIANT😄❤❤
Went 2 c Boy George and The Culture Club when I was 14.He sounds great in video but even better in person. Victims is one of thier most unrated songs . Beautiful and haunting.
Boy George help me relate with my sexuality in 1983. "Let different be different don't let it be wrong." Love this group I saw him live at Smart Financial Center 2017 in Sugar Land. With the B-52 and Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey... they're still on fire!!!💓💗💞💕Love you Mr. Video for you being you Sir.👍👊✌
Boy George is an amazing singer. I know some didn’t like him for his personal lifestyle. That’s not my business, I like him for his talent as a singer. That’s it! 🙌🏻
Not a lifestyle
@@finderkeeperrrs please elaborate
@@missgmoma not a lifestyle. If you meant his sexuality
@@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.
The 80’s....again....we saw it all during that decade. Definitely a cool vibe though.....😎
His song: "The Crying Game" featured in the movie by the same name is FIRE!
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”
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.
Boy George in the early 80’s....Talented and Gutsy! Trailblazer. Icon.
I love how you're playing so many British artists. It brings back my youth in England...
this whole album is a masterpiece! pick your song!
Boy George was an open book ..you can actually hear the sadness in his voice even in the happy songs 😢
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.
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!
👍🏻
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.
Culture Club was the first cassette tape I ever owned. I loved Boy George so much as a kid.
Love is love, talent is talent no matter who you are, or where your from.
I don't care if it's the first or millionth time I've heard this song always gotta jam out to it. Hot in '83, still hot coming up on 40 years later.
Thank you my brother. Seen a lot of react channels i like start getting into music with similar themes and they turn out to be hateful individuals. First channel that hasn't let me down. Love seeing your absolute joy discovering so much good music, subbed.
I love boy George the lead singer he sang what he wanted dressed how he wanted an made no apologies to anyone he is iconic in my opinion I loved everything about him and this song it just makes ya feel good always puts a smile on my face and usually makes me wanna get up and dance!!! great reaction I hope you'll react to more of his music and to Yebba MY MIND ❤️🙏🤞✌️
Every time I hear this song I have to get up and do the “Boy George” dance 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
RitaMcBee me too🤣💃👩🏼🦳
Remember he did this in the 80s !!! Imagine the reaction. But Culture Club, were pioneers and they had a Ton of hits , another couple are . Culture Club -Church Of The Poison Mind ( Official Music Video) !
I love this!!! Boy George is an icon and this song is infectious.. great reaction!!
I love Boy George ❤💛💚
Such a catchy song
Ikr!
CULTURE CLUB ROCKS!!!! THANKS FOR THIS REACTION!!!
I was so obsessed with Boy George in the 80s as a kid. I made my Nan buy me a book with pictures of him at a yard sale when I was around 5. I still remember her saying " That's an interesting looking lady" and the look on her face when I told her it was a guy. Hey, it was 1986, she didn't know.
Great eighties vibe and sound. Boy George was ahead of his time. Great talent
4:38 Red, gold, and green is the rastafarian flag. Boy George was very into that culture.
Karma, what you put out in the world you get in return! Boy George was perfect for the 80's. Talented singer/writer, flamboyant & didn't care what people thought/no boundaries!
You know he contemplating something deep when he needs to put the joint down for a minute 😂 awesome song
I laughed so hard when you saw him singing. [what the hell is that lol]
Every time I hear this song it’s stuck in my head for days!!
You look just as confused as we all did for the first time seeing Boy George LMFAO!!!
I saw them LIVE...1985... The first time I heard them was on MTV...our UA-cam, 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'.
I have seen culture club in concert twice the last time was 2019 first time 1984 and both shows were excellent!! Boy George is such a talented Artist, there is no one like Culture Club.
Good song choice man j died laughing at the end of the song when you said, " Let me take a hit after that! " that was very entertaining
Hey Mr. Video! You should check out these three songs by Culture Club. "Church of a Poison Mind", "Miss Me Blind" and "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me". These will show you some of Boy George's vocal range, they are GREAT songs, and I think you would like them and have an honest reaction to them. Thank you. Peace...Be Safe!!!!!
Welcome to the 80s, Mr. Video! It was a different time, different dimension. That's why we GenExers are different than the gens before and after us. We just want everyone to get along! Mr. Video, you are my FAVE rector. If you ever stop doing reaction videos, Imma be so mad atcha!
This is such a beautiful and deep song! And so gosh darn catchy, absolutely memorable!
Boy George has immense talent! Love his singing voice!
The singer in Culture Club with all the 80s makeup is known as "Boy George". I've watched that video since the 80s and never noticed women were being robbed and men. Boy George holds you so captive you hardly see anything else.
Classic party song... Looove it... Grew up with my mum singing it to me ♥️ 80s baby!!! #dontjudge #BEKINDALWAYS
I warned you about 80's and early 90s videos--they don't always make sense. They are just for a good time. Loved singing this one. Such a nice sound.
Ahh the 80s.....had it all!!!!
Time..great song too!
George O' Dowd. Proud of ya man. Stood the test of time. Loved this song when it came out, didn't understand why. But now, Massive props to ya.
Always liked this song. Its so good. My fav Culture Club song is "Time". Such a great song.
I grew up with this type of music because of my parents, and i love it! Great reaction!
Do You Really Wanna Hurt Me. That was Boy George’s first and we were all so blown away by this beautiful, colorful garden that he was. He’s still around and is an activist and artist.
I literally lol'd when you said "I wasnt wrong, sang brother!". Love waking up to your videos in the morning. Keep it up man.
You are exactly right; why do people need to judge others; none of us are perfect. Love Culture Club, love Boy George
I still love this song! I can actually sing and harmonize with this one. Happy music.
Welcome to the 80s my friend. 😁👍🇬🇧Great song, great band. This was one of the bands I used to listen to growing up in the 80s. Boy George the lead singer, is now a judge on THE VOICE AUSTRALIA. They have some fantastic early tracks for you to react to,
Do you really want to hurt me,
It's a miracle, Church of the poisoned mind, later songs include, Clouds, Human zoo, King of everything, & Life which is my favourite 😁👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Sadly hes done with The Voice that was his last season
My new fave of yours!!! I reposted this on my FB because your reaction to Boy George is PRICELESS!!! THIS is why I love your channel 🥰🥰🥰
Great reaction, as usual - yeah - Boy George was awesome - I saw a little initial confusion (lol) -- when he accepted his grammy award, he said something like "thank you - this proves America knows a good drag queen when they see one" --
"Time" is great, too
Ha ha! Everyone was confused by Boy George at first! 😆😆
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. Kids drove parents nutts dressing like him. Even rockers at time began wearing eye make up n such. Lol it was the thang!! Drove Grown Up Nutts🔥 That's the job of the Teen n Music Style n Parents. Let's Drive em Crazy. I love Me some George❤
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.😀👩🏼🦳
I love Culture Club & Boy George(lead singer) he had a lot of drug problems early on in life but still is going strong! thx for sharing Mr. Video!
