DIFFERNT!! | Culture Club - Karma Chameleon (Official Video) (REACTION!!) 

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.

You really gotta hear their song “do you really wanna hurt me.” Pleeease! ❤️💛✌️✨

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 ❤️

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

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! 💛❤️✌️✨

George: "Im a maaaaaaan..." Mr. Video 🤔 ✌🏼❤

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"

Yes people are people that everyone be themselves. They have another great song called Church of the Poison Mind. Great reaction.

My favorite British club boy. He was so thrilled just to be accepted.

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.

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 !

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?

Should we tell him about Dead or Alive? You Spin Me. 😉

Boy George is so underrated. I love their song “Time”

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.

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

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. 🕊️🙏

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... 😅

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.

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

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

One of the catchiest songs ever written! Love It.

You know he contemplating something deep when he needs to put the joint down for a minute 😂 awesome song

Behind the makeup and the costumes there's a velvet voice and a beautiful soul that is Boy George.

Love is love, talent is talent no matter who you are, or where your from.

I can't help but sing this song when it comes on. It's so catchy!

Ok up dancin and vacuuming lol

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.

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.

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.

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!

One of the biggest hits from the 80's.

This is a true classic by a great group. I grew up listening to this song during the 1980's.

Boy George had a unique voice; he's an amazing artists, his makeup is who he is; I luv his music

Boy George in the early 80’s....Talented and Gutsy! Trailblazer. Icon.

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! 🙌🏻

The singer his name is Boy George he definitely is one of a kind

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!

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".

I love how you're playing so many British artists. It brings back my youth in England...

You need to make your own vocabulary book , LOL !!! """new words & terms of 2020 by Mr. Video, BRILLIANT😄❤❤

I love this!!! Boy George is an icon and this song is infectious.. great reaction!!

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!

this whole album is a masterpiece! pick your song!

The 80’s....again....we saw it all during that decade. Definitely a cool vibe though.....😎

Every time I hear this song it’s stuck in my head for days!!

I love Boy George! He's quite the character and his style is still just as wacky.

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”

"Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge." ...Carl Jung.

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.

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

CULTURE CLUB ROCKS!!!! THANKS FOR THIS REACTION!!!

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.

HAHAHAHA..the moment of confusion when you first got the whole picture of him was priceless.

Every time I hear this song I have to get up and do the “Boy George” dance 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Ahh the 80s.....had it all!!!! Time..great song too!

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!

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.👍👊✌

"Time" is great, too

This is such a beautiful and deep song! And so gosh darn catchy, absolutely memorable!

Boy George sings: I'm a man.... Mr Video: Are you, though?

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

Always liked this song. Its so good. My fav Culture Club song is "Time". Such a great song.

I love Boy George ❤💛💚 Such a catchy song

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.

I laughed so hard when you saw him singing. [what the hell is that lol]

His song: "The Crying Game" featured in the movie by the same name is FIRE!

I saw them LIVE...1985... The first time I heard them was on MTV...our RU-vid, 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'.

Ha ha! Everyone was confused by Boy George at first! 😆😆

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 grew up with this type of music because of my parents, and i love it! Great reaction!

Culture Club was the first cassette tape I ever owned. I loved Boy George so much as a kid.

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

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!

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.

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.

I remember when this came out. I rocked out to it in my youth.

I still love this song! I can actually sing and harmonize with this one. Happy music.

I’ve never seen someone vibe so hard to Boy George, get it!

Great eighties vibe and sound. Boy George was ahead of his time. Great talent

You are exactly right; why do people need to judge others; none of us are perfect. Love Culture Club, love Boy George

Dude, your eyes when you first saw Boy George was classic. Fire reaction!!

I've always Loved this song and Boy George's music.

Thank you. I get it too. Let people be who and how they want and need to be.

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 🥰🥰🥰

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.

Best reactions on youtube, you heard it here. That Jimi shirt is fire!

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!

I said it when you reacted to Queen. It was the 80s...you had to be there. Lots to discover on this trip

I love your vids man!! I also love you analyzing the shit out of these songs. We all should have paid more attention to those teachers who loved poetry and maybe we would all analyze lyrics like we should and not take them for granted!!

Boy George has immense talent! Love his singing voice!

One of my fave singers & i still have the Albums👍😀

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.

I think you just hit it brother,he saying leave me alone,because I'm not bothering you,you got it
