I remember when this came out and Boy George just amazed with his voice and his style and uniqueness. There was never anyone like him before. I love this still.
hmmf Well ?? I was his biggest fan, Yes I Truly loved him ;-) kissed my favorite poster, whit him ,every night ...even made clothes, similar to his (Ohhh.. took a long time, cutting the linoleum templates I used to make color print on the clothes .with ;-) ...but i wanted it to be perfect ;) , but do not think that he was far ahead , in any way ? not at all, when I look back now , there was many bands who were much better musician than Culture Club ;-)
I was a small child when my mother listened to this and I didnt know the lyrics nor the title. I’m 22 now and just woke up with the melody in my head. I can’t believe I found it. Music has a very special effect on us. It gives me back every feeling.
It does the same for me too. I'm happy your mom's influence has remained with you. I was 13 when I first saw the video, and I fell in love with the sound and George's voice, then and always.
Lol exactly the same for me, my mother used to listen to this song too, when I was little but the only difference is I’m 45 and it’s when this actually came out., I’m assuming me and your mother are around the same age?
Just got back from seeing Boy George in concert! He still sounds good, and he interacted a lot with the audience. You can tell that he is a very kind soul!
There is no telling how many times that I would play this song, rewind it, and play it over and over and fall asleep with it. This song pulled me up , it was my run to for anything that happened in my life from the day it came out ( I was 12) until I was probably 18 years old, most of Culture Club's music was my favorite, and it's still one of my all time favorites, and I'm 53 now. Still great music.
What a coincidence…. Without a clue I sat at Al Hirschfeld Broadway musical „moulin rouge“ and boy George performed as an actor. And on top of that he performed this song at the end… what a magic moment! Goosebumps
I dont think kids today understand that. The 80s were a very expressive decade but gays were still ridiculed openly and often the recipients of a lot of hatred. Even liking boy George opened you to torture so for every album he sold theres probably 10 he didn't sell because fans were afraid to paint targets on themselves
I was 4 when this song came out. Growing up with an older sister, hearing these songs over and over let me come back here 39 years later. I love him, i love 80s music it brings me back to a good place where i am now so grateful off. Sometimes i sing a long and sometimes a just burst into tears. 80s music is truly the best! I am so happy i grew up with this -JR
Boy George is an 80's icon. I just saw him on GMA promoting a new album. He looks good for his age. Still wears the signature hat from the Culture Club days. His music makes you want to get up and dance.
Culture Club was one of the groups that defined the 80's, as a kid I don't remember ever questioning Boy George's sexuality, I don't think I even cared cause it didn't matter because his singing voice was impeccable.
@@g00ge person isn’t attached since it’s not nostalgic for them, its discovery. It’s like me getting into big band music, it wouldn’t be nostalgic or attachment if I didn’t exist in the time.
As a teen, I was really surprised that my mother who was born in 1960 and grew up in the conservative republic of Turkey, knew of Boy George and described him as “a very beautiful male singer with alluring eyes”.
Conservative republic of Turkey? There have always been conservative people in Turkey but the country as a whole wasn't. The music, the films, the TV shows... Most 70s & 80s youth were exposed to popular music around the world. It is usual, not a surprise that your mom likes him.
The bass line in this song is superb, as with the songwriting and arrangement, the singing, the lyrics and the video. Everything. Still love it after almost 40 years.
I absolutely love it that Boy George is not afraid to be who he is. He's totally awesome and I love him so much. Ty Boy George for all the great music and memories.
He’s definitely special and has paved a way for others who’ve felt different their entire lives, to be true to themselves. It was brave of him to do so back in the day.
My dad passed away yesterday march 16, this was his favorite song and it reminded him of a friend that also passed away This song is helping me to deal with the sadness, but i still feel like theres now a void in my life, as if a lot was lost
My daughters love Boy George when they were young. They are now 45 and 39 respectably. I am 73 and love Boy George he reminds me of the old times with my family watching great videos
I'm 39 like your daughter. I used to listen to this with my mother. We both loved him, his music and voice. Some of the best memories and precious moments .

Wow, miss those days. Boy George was bold, forward, and loved. He transitioned the culture in different ways. Guest that's why they were the Culture Club.
Nothing but admiration for Boy George. I am old enough to know what it was like living in 80s UK. He represented himself and all that he was in a time when not only being gay was unaccepted but being different from mainstream. He pioneered and took the abuse paving the way for people now in this day to not fear being who they are. I am straight but can fully appreciate hiw him being him in the 80s allowed me to be me. Basically he is not just a gay icon but a human icon, oh and his music was some of the best in what is the greatest era of music
Same. I'm just glad they played this stuff on Top of the Pops so we could at least get exposure. Other favs. of mine are Erasure and the Pet Shop Boys. Looking back I realize why I had so few friends, but I don't care.
❤ He has come through tough times to the other side. Just like me. His music reminds me of a magical time in my youth. Hes making a docmentary. Cant wait. Love him.
Great song. I watched an interview with Boy George recently, people focus on his image and sexuality but what really struck me is how kind and gentle his soul and persona is.
The 80's was one of the greatest times in the history of music. Especially because of the wave of artists that the English scene gave us, artists like Boy George himself and his band, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Queen, and many more. Without a doubt, the British wave has given us and continues to give excellent music.
This came on the radio the other day. I was in my car stuck in 3 way traffic lights. I was singing and clicking my fingers and loving every moment. To my surprise I looked in my rear view mirror to relize I was singing along with 2 paramedics behind me in the ambulance ( obviously Not on a call at the time) they could hear the music as my windows were down. It was a great moment as all 3 of us were at that time celebrating a brilliant song by a fab artist.
Still sends shivers down my spine. I first heard this on nighttime radio one before the masses. I feel that it's a pity they couldn't continue along these lines, but music became very commercialised at the end of 82 with the introduction of commercial radio stations across the UK.
You got that right there is to much hipperqutes in the world we live in today in the 1980s we had none of that and I'm here in New Zealand but TODAY'S WORLD where ever you go there is ALLWAYS someone running someone down no matter where you go all what you look like
well initially he claimed to 'be a man and only a man' not a cross-dresser or gay, this make-up stuff was just for show....only later did he 'come out'
Believe it or not, he has said he was uncomfortable then with putting this song out as a single. He thought it would be too personal for pop radio in 1982.
I really overlooked this song when it came out. I didn’t dislike it, just never thought it was anything special. I regret that. This is beautiful and Boy George is so incredibly talented. Such great style and such an easy going sound. He really deserved his stardom.
I’m a 90s baby and I would’ve loved to have grown up with CC. It’s ok if you weren’t Big on this at first. I first heard this on Shrek (I know cheesy) as the gingerbread man sang it) then i found it years later online. I thought it was just ok at first but then it grew on me and I love it now.
I remember being a young teen when this song and it's video were released on MTV. I'm 51 years old now. And when I see this video, at the 00.34 second mark, I still have that same "What in the entirety of FUCK?!" moment.
hard to believe u grew up watching this out of the other great songs that were out there....If i am going through the verge of a break up i would hear this song....lol
This is one of the last songs my dad listened to before he died. My parents and I had drastically different music tastes, but all three or us loved Boy George and Culture Club. Boy George is the first musician I recall knowing anything about. I remember asking my mom “why the pretty lady is called Boy George” when I was tiny. I was always androgynous which is why I adore him even more. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
eruweraranj0r Ummm, no. My mother died several years before my dad. And my dad died unexpectedly in a car accident...in which I and his best friend were with him.
@@solelsoleil3869 Please understand......When this song came out.....? Especially the video? It was WAAAY beyond what teenagers (such as myself)including our older siblings experienced! It was the early '80s....So many of us were in our younger years. For the FIRST TIME experiencing...MTv! If you had Cable and MTV? Shooot! Lol...The main thing you did was watch MTV, CONSTANTLY! YA HAD TO BE THERE! Feel blessed to have TH-cam so you can at least go back in time....To understand what we felt when hearing these not only unique songs but nostalgia to the extreme!
When this song first came out I was at a disco and everyone stopped what they were doing and all looked at the screen in fascination of Boy George. Ahh memories...
Takes me back to my teen years in the 80's my Mama would sing this often ... My Mama is now in Heaven 💔 my heart hurts ... Dec 2021 I miss you so much Mom....Thank you for this song Culture Club
RIP to your dear Mama. My Dad really liked this song as well...took him a couple of decades to admit to it but he confessed he loved BG/CC music. God rest his soul.
Growing up in the 80s, Boy George had became a true trailblazer when it came to representing misfits like myself. After all of these beautiful years, he's still one of my true heroes and I'm so happy that he is healthy, sober, and doing what he loves so much, singing his precious soul out. #fan4life. #80sgoddess4life2.
This man did his makeup so beautiful he knew fashion before fashion knew fashion 😍 love this song 🎶 this takes me to another Demintion 🙂 who's listening 2019
Buenos días señorita lupita que te parece la musica es una obra maestra esto es cultura es mas bien arte no lo descrimines esta entre los grandes y famosos de los 80 gracias a ti
I remember this when it first came out I love you boy George I’m so glad you’re still with us. We lost so many wonderful ones from the 80s. I will always love you.
This is one of the theme songs of the 1980's even though we all had comments about Boy Georges sex orientation that were on the negative side...it was the 80's and this man shook the foundations of our society. What a great time it was and kudos to this man for pushing those boundaries!
Exactly, it's such a shame how the wokie social media warriors were and are going after him. He paved the way for many artists to admit they were gay. He also brought the underground scene out in the open, both gay and straight. It was such a great time. They were who they were, they didn't try and pretend they were something else.
His sexuality has no bearing on how hood the music is....his look was the 80^s club kid that everyone wished they were brave enough to pull off...i lived the 80^s and honestly wished id known that the world was going to be like it is now i would've never made it out of the 90^s.... long live the best music ever 80^s guy till i die...god bless all
@@torbjornbernhardson3634 no offense to 80s kids but as a 90s baby I see this vid and am not easily fooled. His makeup isn’t as feminine as say the It’s a Miracle video. Plus his voice and the fact his name is George kinda did it for me. Why didn’t they put two and two together back then? I understand if y’all was just young kids tho
The 1980's was about music. There were so many different styles around then. Either you produced good music, or you didn't. Culture Club were one who produced some phenomenal music. We didn't care if they were gay, straight, bisexual or whatever. We just wanted good music and they delivered.
It's now August 2022. I fell in love with Boy George and Culture Club back when I was in high school. I went to see them in concert my senior year in 1985. I still ❤️ Boy George just as much now as I did on the 80's. "Do you really want to hurt me" is still a true CLASSIC in my book!!!🥰❤💯 Who agrees with me in 2022?
August 3, 2022 and I’m watching! I’m quite a bit older than you, my senior year was 1972, but I love all types of music. ‘Do you really want to hurt me’ is definitely one of those songs that brings back memories of the 80’s. Good memories! ❤️
I wish I could go back through time and start all over again cause these were the songs worth listening to miss the 80s it’s makes me smile and cry at the same time great work boy George
Culture Club, Boy Georges beautiful voice and personality, no fake, no shitty twitter, no cell, just music and people. No way to explain my kids what the feeling in the 80ies was...
You’re trying to say it was genuine back then - for the most part. Celebrities these days don’t get off-screen time and have to constantly preserve a plastic image. There is no longer organic This or That.
@@CarlosLopez-ob8rk Yep! Just like how authentic the original Degrassi High was....no professional makeup or hair, no models, no 20 year olds cast as high schoolers. What you saw is who they really were. The cast did their own hair, dressed in their own style etc. Much more relatable and authentic than the newer Degrassi High shows where things went exactly the way of models, fakery etc. 80s Degrassi was definitely more relatable than Saved By The Bell.
My dad didn’t care for much of the music I listened to, but he actually liked Boy George’s voice immensely. He said, “I don’t much like how he dresses but he’s got a damn good voice!” How right my Old Man was!!!
Bet he could fetch a pretty penny for this particular ensemble if he wanted to bolster his retirement income. Hell, he could probably even start his own pajama / karategi fashion brand. I haven't googled the idea, so for all I know he already has...Oh, and the music was pretty cool too
When the music was pure creation and fertile fields of musicians even though the colors and styles were victim of mockeries I love this song and Simple Minds, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet they were all amazing and impressive
Are you either, so irrationally fearful of it that you don't dare to spell it correctly or are you totally gay for the Hotel Billing & Information Center?
I love Culture Club, their music is amazing 🎉🎉. I love Boy George his vocals are beyond words. I'm glad to have had this music in my life. Boy George brought something special and unique. He had style and class.
My mum used to be friends with boy George when they were about 12 of 15 years old. My mum has still got three photographs taken in the old photo booth's. Absolutely brilliant peace of memories.
I remember when this came out and Boy George just amazed with his voice and his style and uniqueness. There was never anyone like him before. I love this still.
lol
And his criminal conviction for kidnapping and sexual assault!
@@aldranzam3456 Are you British? I've noticed that some Brits haven't forgiven him for this, while Americans have.
George "put a spell on me" the first time I heard him sing this, and it's STILL in effect 40 years later! (probably even more so now)❤❤❤
😊
Boy George..... so far ahead of his time... Beautiful vocals... Unsurpassed expression.

Thats why evil people use music as a weapon to corrupt innocent souls
Just got back from seeing Boy George in concert! He still sounds good, and he interacted a lot with the audience. You can tell that he is a very kind soul!
For me this song was difficult to absorb in the 80's, but 40 years on it's proved to be a very strong song that's a timeless classic
I've always loved Culture Cub and I don't care who doesn't like them ! I bet a lot of my macho friends really liked them but won't admit it !
a PERFECT description
Envidio tu vida de la mejor manera!!
I was in my metal and classic rock phase in 1983-1984 but I always liked CC. There's something magical about their music.

What a Voice he had. No matter what, that is something that cannot EVER be taken away from him.
Unicorn Goddess Um have you heard him lately. He sounds like shit
Boy George was often talked about concerning his style, appearance, flamboyance etc. What often gets lost is that he was a terrific singer.
His voice is absolutely amazing. How he presents himself is up to him
@@Nogdog945 Very nicely said...and I completely agree!
yeah I was just introducing my daughter to him and said "oh wow I'd forgotten how good his voice was .."

I'm 34 and always spent my days at my neighbors. When I listen to this I miss the people who really help raise me.
80s music is way, way, WAY better than 70s and 60s music. 90s music is truly rad though
I feel that
The 60s 70s 80s a great time. Great artist
I agree the 80s had depth and soul .
Boy George is an 80's icon. I just saw him on GMA promoting a new album. He looks good for his age. Still wears the signature hat from the Culture Club days. His music makes you want to get up and dance.
Shut up liight light skin niter no matter what they look like haha you still crying
His hat one of the few things that make me still recognize him
Unfortunately, his voice is shot (heroin use does that to vocal chords).

I credit Mikey Craig for the bass!
Timeless !

when it 1st came on the radio I remember being floored by the bass line, the feel and the tone of his bass along with that amazing vocal
This is really a song you should listen to with headphones. It’s amazing.

Great song. I watched an interview with Boy George recently, people focus on his image and sexuality but what really struck me is how kind and gentle his soul and persona is.
boy george was ahead of his time with his choice of style
i wanted to be your friend , you are beautiful. i live in brazil.
You asume style always improve over time
Yup....way the fuck
He is fan of David bowie
l just loved the styles of clothes boy george was wearing
One of the greatest songs of my childhood EVER! LOVE ❤❤❤ Culture Club!
The 80's was one of the greatest times in the history of music. Especially because of the wave of artists that the English scene gave us, artists like Boy George himself and his band, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Queen, and many more. Without a doubt, the British wave has given us and continues to give excellent music.
Satan buys souls in every country!!
Don't Forget the American bands and Mexican as well sir
The second wave of the British invasion facts..

특히 한국 음악에 영향을 주었다고 확신합니다!!!

It’s hard to believe this was 40 years ago. What a beautiful song!
J'ADORE ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful song his voice so calming
42
Actually it's 41years. I was in London when I heard it for the first time in 1983.
@@OsamaMulqiHow old ARE you now?
This bass line is everything. the 80s was so damn fun.
a masterpiece!
I no right 😁
This Man with he's own artistic still he's performed very artistic..we all are society..this is an icon with hes own caracters..good music.
40 years has passed and a still great song!
thanks for the reminder, I love remembering I'm getting old lol but agree it's such a great song!
This came on the radio the other day. I was in my car stuck in 3 way traffic lights. I was singing and clicking my fingers and loving every moment. To my surprise I looked in my rear view mirror to relize I was singing along with 2 paramedics behind me in the ambulance ( obviously Not on a call at the time) they could hear the music as my windows were down. It was a great moment as all 3 of us were at that time celebrating a brilliant song by a fab artist.
ABSOLUTELY
totally
George's dance is just a beautiful thing to see😭❤
He was like the cutest thing back then
And still cute now
Still sends shivers down my spine. I first heard this on nighttime radio one before the masses. I feel that it's a pity they couldn't continue along these lines, but music became very commercialised at the end of 82 with the introduction of commercial radio stations across the UK.
I met him, shook his hand, got his autograph and took a picture with him right around the time he recorded this😁
that might have been quite impossible at tha t time congratulation mate this gu helped me in my life!
😮😮😮😮😮
Congrats all around my friend
Such a great talent
WOW!!! That quite an honour as he is one of the best most talented singers ever!!!!
I remember when I bought this album as a kid, I played it so much that my sister said, "Yes, I really DO want to hurt you!" ☺
Lollllll that was a really good one you sent it out of the stadium
LOL
Lol......
Lmao, luv your sis!
haha
The man could sing.. no one will ever take that away from him.
The man -could- *can* sing...
in a way.... they did just that!
He was dancing in background when the Jets were on top of the tops ❤❤
Agreed.👍
He’s still singing!
This song rocks!
💚💛🧡❤

Yes it does...😭😭😭
I used to love to dance to this song. N
But not anymore. I lost a leg in Vietnam in 71
ya
1:34 Rest in Peace and Power, Dinah. You seemed to be a bright and steady light in George's life, and in the lives of his siblings.
what a heavenly beautiful voice what a beautiful song love this
Johnny Aingel one of best voices in the industry!
Yes I miss his 80s/90s vocals
The begining of this song is so..beautiful and heart felt..i am in awe of his singimg ability and incredble feelings in this magical intro!
Premium Blue couldnt had said it better myself!!!
I love how boy George knows who he is and isn’t afraid to show it no matter what people may think
You got that right there is to much hipperqutes in the world we live in today in the 1980s we had none of that and I'm here in New Zealand but TODAY'S WORLD where ever you go there is ALLWAYS someone running someone down no matter where you go all what you look like
well initially he claimed to 'be a man and only a man'
not a cross-dresser or gay, this make-up stuff was
just for show....only later did he 'come out'
Believe it or not, he has said he was uncomfortable then with putting this song out as a single. He thought it would be too personal for pop radio in 1982.
James brown
@@BlacKnightRising he dated the drummer to too. Who went to marry a lovly woman.
His Voice Is Like Fine Silk ❤
His look was so eclectic and original that it's timeless.He could walk right into 2021 and start a new trend.I love him!
Ikr
Thanks very much for your support remain blessed.
Let him throw it in you.
Hi Karen, how are you doing
I really overlooked this song when it came out. I didn’t dislike it, just never thought it was anything special. I regret that. This is beautiful and Boy George is so incredibly talented. Such great style and such an easy going sound. He really deserved his stardom.
I’m a 90s baby and I would’ve loved to have grown up with CC. It’s ok if you weren’t
Big on this at first. I first heard this on
Shrek (I know cheesy) as the gingerbread man sang it) then i found it years later online. I thought it was just ok at first but then it grew on me and I love it now.
You gotta play your album, cassette tape or DVD all the way thru👌🏿
Yes in time, wisdom, things change or become more recognizable. We reflect. The 80s was the last of it all.
He ended up picking up rubbish
It's 2022 and I still love ❤️ Culture Club BoyGeorge has a Beautiful voice !!
Thanks u sir. U has a good 1.
I like so much this song
Yes, he does!
i'm 43 years old Japanese woman.
my mother has played this everyday when i was in a kindergarten.still hits my heart and soul .
I remember being a young teen when this song and it's video were released on MTV. I'm 51 years old now. And when I see this video, at the 00.34 second mark, I still have that same "What in the entirety of FUCK?!" moment.
The 80's...... When all that mattered was the music 🎵🎶🔥
😎😁🆒👍oh ya🙏👍💃
Yes, and our music was Really Good Music! Some of the stuff that today's Generation of musicians is cranking out... Not so much!
80s forever
True ❤❤
Then we discovered child porn and their motives. Was it good times?
Such a beautiful voice so much joy you brought me in the 80's and still ( forever loving beautiful Boy George ) !! 2019
The beautiful intro still gives me goose bumps to this day!
What an amazing voice indeed!
Hi Elizabeth, how are you doing
A beautiful man with a beautiful voice. Boy George is such an icon, I really admire him
Srta. Cindy García. . so Long ago. 40 years ago. In my 80. . . Love From PUERTO Rico. . So . Sad I hate Bad Bunny. My cousin. Take care.
This was real music and raw talent. Boy George was ahead of his time. Love the 80’s
Definitely
how could he be ahead of his time? that was his time.
Boy George one of the BEST POP STARS OF THE GREAT 80s
I agree I remember in85was 18
@Red Scarlet (So he is asexual?)
Es homosexual Pero le podía competir a Madonna
I agree jason jdawgs he is better then that Michael Jackson
@@lisaparsons2544 Lol, we have the same taste in 80s music.
He was the first artist that blew my mind when I was little! Used to love watch him perform - that reggae was in me already!
i don't remember this,you have some unique taste, you must of grew up in a interesting neighborhood, had interesting friends, you have youths ?
lol thanks. I grew up in New York City - this used to be a number one hit back in my days :) Yeah, but I do like all sorts of music.
***** Yep I was pretty young :)
hard to believe u grew up watching this out of the other great songs that were out there....If i am going through the verge of a break up i would hear this song....lol
i am going to read up on him..and see if i have any of his records
I love his look, I love his songs, I love his difference... for me he is perfect, he assumes his personality.
Oh My God. It's he not she? I was mistaken my entire life.
Did he just assume his personality?
Ffs... u sound like Katelyn Jenner releasing her new book.
Brendan McCarthy I told you, you piece of shit don't write me. Fuck off. No time for your pathetic lowlife ass.
How the heck did that happen?^
❤❤ en Abril 2024 escuchando bien relaxxxx saludos desde El Salvador 🇸🇻
This is one of the last songs my dad listened to before he died. My parents and I had drastically different music tastes, but all three or us loved Boy George and Culture Club. Boy George is the first musician I recall knowing anything about. I remember asking my mom “why the pretty lady is called Boy George” when I was tiny. I was always androgynous which is why I adore him even more. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
eruweraranj0r Ummm, no. My mother died several years before my dad. And my dad died unexpectedly in a car accident...in which I and his best friend were with him.
Cute story. Me and my dad can be driving in a car talking about women and football, then this song comes on and the volume goes up. Lol
Joey Love
Gracias por compartir tu experiencia desde Argentina un saludo
Joey Love
But at the end of the day u guys bond for the same thing, music.
eruweraranj0r. Wow ! The way you talk shows how you've been raised.
I first heard this song in the early 1980's, and it's still just as beautiful to me now as it was then.
Oh my goodness what is wrong with you? seriously?
I like it time I saw and heard it. Still do.
I am really hearing it for the first time, stuff I missed though I saw them live in '85!
Thanks u I don't even know what 2 said but Thanks...
@@solelsoleil3869 Please understand......When this song came out.....? Especially the video? It was WAAAY beyond what teenagers (such as myself)including our older siblings experienced! It was the early '80s....So many of us were in our younger years. For the FIRST TIME experiencing...MTv! If you had Cable and MTV? Shooot! Lol...The main thing you did was watch MTV, CONSTANTLY! YA HAD TO BE THERE! Feel blessed to have TH-cam so you can at least go back in time....To understand what we felt when hearing these not only unique songs but nostalgia to the extreme!
I'm sorry but it's the most beautiful voice.
no need to be sorry.
Agree
When this song first came out I was at a disco and everyone stopped what they were doing and all looked at the screen in fascination of Boy George. Ahh memories...
Takes me back to my teen years in the 80's my Mama would sing this often ... My Mama is now in Heaven 💔 my heart hurts ... Dec 2021 I miss you so much Mom....Thank you for this song Culture Club
RIP to your dear Mama. My Dad really liked this song as well...took him a couple of decades to admit to it but he confessed he loved BG/CC music. God rest his soul.
I was just born on that time but we have similar fate.
Сил тебе. Мы теперь ничьи дети, но всё ещё дети.
Tu madre Q .E .P .D te cuida desde el cielo bendiciones
Melissa ! I'm really sorry ! this song brings back good memories ! my brother is also in heaven ❤ ! God bless you !
I've always LOVED Boy George's voice!
Agree! (I WISH he still had his voice from that time.)
I am 60 and grew up with this music and this music continues to live on.
Music never dies Mister✨
Hi* I am, also a bit older , this was my favorite in 1983*
This song is so special in many ways ❤❤
So many ways, yes.❤
love the way he dances
Lisa Burgess me too
Lisa Burgess same here
BMW E3OPASSION right on
Me, too. I don't have the confidence to dance like that.
Its adorable ♥️♥️
Growing up in the 80s, Boy George had became a true trailblazer when it came to representing misfits like myself. After all of these beautiful years, he's still one of my true heroes and I'm so happy that he is healthy, sober, and doing what he loves so much, singing his precious soul out. #fan4life. #80sgoddess4life2.
Hi 👋, how are you
This man did his makeup so beautiful he knew fashion before fashion knew fashion 😍 love this song 🎶 this takes me to another Demintion 🙂 who's listening 2019
he was done by a pro makep, etc..
Haha I low-key love his eyebrows.
He was a part of the Blitz Kids club scene, all their fashion & make up was amazing 😁
Still love Boy George and dig his music in 2019. 👍🏽
Buenos días señorita lupita que te parece la musica es una obra maestra esto es cultura es mas bien arte no lo descrimines esta entre los grandes y famosos de los 80 gracias a ti
I remember this when it first came out I love you boy George I’m so glad you’re still with us. We lost so many wonderful ones from the 80s. I will always love you.
This is one of the theme songs of the 1980's even though we all had comments about Boy Georges sex orientation that were on the negative side...it was the 80's and this man shook the foundations of our society. What a great time it was and kudos to this man for pushing those boundaries!
Exactly, it's such a shame how the wokie social media warriors were and are going after him. He paved the way for many artists to admit they were gay. He also brought the underground scene out in the open, both gay and straight. It was such a great time. They were who they were, they didn't try and pretend they were something else.
@@cheetahman859 yup very true
His sexuality has no bearing on how hood the music is....his look was the 80^s club kid that everyone wished they were brave enough to pull off...i lived the 80^s and honestly wished id known that the world was going to be like it is now i would've never made it out of the 90^s.... long live the best music ever 80^s guy till i die...god bless all
I remember that the question was what gender Boy George was, a girl dressed as a boy or the other way around. He played on that for quite a while.
@@torbjornbernhardson3634 no offense to 80s kids but as a 90s baby I see this vid and am not easily fooled. His makeup isn’t as feminine as say the It’s a Miracle video. Plus his voice and the fact his name is George kinda did it for me. Why didn’t they put two and two together back then? I understand if y’all was just young kids tho
Imagine listening to this when it first came out I did! The 80’s Rocked!
As did I 🤩🤙🏽😎
I was 16, and the video shocked me. Amazing.
Fuck yeah!!!
I remember the days when Boy George was in the hight of fame and his music was awaesome. This music is and will always be awesome
This is the song and PV that made me fall in love with Culture Club❤
Both the visuals and the singing voice are great✨
The 1980's was about music. There were so many different styles around then. Either you produced good music, or you didn't. Culture Club were one who produced some phenomenal music. We didn't care if they were gay, straight, bisexual or whatever. We just wanted good music and they delivered.
Yess, I love the 80th, my youth ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's now August 2022. I fell in love with Boy George and Culture Club back when I was in high school. I went to see them in concert my senior year in 1985. I still ❤️ Boy George just as much now as I did on the 80's. "Do you really want to hurt me" is still a true CLASSIC in my book!!!🥰❤💯
Who agrees with me in 2022?
August 3, 2022 and I’m watching! I’m quite a bit older than you, my senior year was 1972, but I love all types of music. ‘Do you really want to hurt me’ is definitely one of those songs that brings back memories of the 80’s. Good memories! ❤️
@@gstandifer9278 Oh yes! Wonderful memories!😁
Yes an excellent music video and the rhythm track was catching and refreshing.
@UserNo84 I don't agree, but we can agree to disagree. No problem. 😊
AGREED
I wish I could go back through time and start all over again cause these were the songs worth listening to miss the 80s it’s makes me smile and cry at the same time great work boy George
You can still listen to them tho, and all the music that's come out since
I wish I could go back through time and write this song before he did. Then you would all be praising Boy John for this great work.
Thanks for your support.
@@boygeorge896 you’re very welcome always I play music my self but never got no where was always a dream but thank you again you’re awesome god bless
@@jannawithrow4067 My regard feel free to reach me anytime.
One of those songs that comes to your mind every now and then.
*_This song will live on forever!!!_*
Culture Club, Boy Georges beautiful voice and personality, no fake, no shitty twitter, no cell, just music and people. No way to explain my kids what the feeling in the 80ies was...
You’re trying to say it was genuine back then - for the most part. Celebrities these days don’t get off-screen time and have to constantly preserve a plastic image.
There is no longer organic This or That.
@@CarlosLopez-ob8rk Yep! Just like how authentic the original Degrassi High was....no professional makeup or hair, no models, no 20 year olds cast as high schoolers. What you saw is who they really were.
The cast did their own hair, dressed in their own style etc. Much more relatable and authentic than the newer Degrassi High shows where things went exactly the way of models, fakery etc. 80s Degrassi was definitely more relatable than Saved By The Bell.
My dad didn’t care for much of the music I listened to, but he actually liked Boy George’s voice immensely. He said, “I don’t much like how he dresses but he’s got a damn good voice!” How right my Old Man was!!!
Mine too. He was confused when he first saw Boy George on MTV. He loved country music so he really liked Karma Chameleon 😊
His voice is magical and he never had to rely on special effects to "help" it like so many others.
I fucking love how he dresses
Bet he could fetch a pretty penny for this particular ensemble if he wanted to bolster his retirement income. Hell, he could probably even start his own pajama / karategi fashion brand. I haven't googled the idea, so for all I know he already has...Oh, and the music was pretty cool too
Es hermoso
What a great song and beautiful video. Boy George is an incredible singer ❤
I remember when this came. Cutting edge. Still a classic going into 2022.
Can't we just enjoy this brilliant, timeless music?
Hi Holly, how are you doing today
When the music was pure creation and fertile fields of musicians even though the colors and styles were victim of mockeries I love this song and Simple Minds, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet they were all amazing and impressive
Yes! or as I like to say, this song kicks ass. I'd add Wham to the list and a multitude of one-hit wonders.
super high on smack
graldaddy I AM HOMOHOBIC 👠👗💄💅RÉALY YES
Are you either, so irrationally fearful of it that you don't dare to spell it correctly or are you totally gay for the Hotel Billing & Information Center?
Cant agree more
I love Culture Club, their music is amazing 🎉🎉. I love Boy George his vocals are beyond words. I'm glad to have had this music in my life. Boy George brought something special and unique. He had style and class.
Hi yes he s differant make up and all that like you say this songs a classic i was about 11 when this came out❤
Miss this kind of music. Most of Culture Club songs that Boy George wrote were about the drummer.
MnCalapati415 did they date.
Jake Miles Yes they did. The other band members knew about it but didn't really care. As long as they kept making good music.
Jake Miles It was pretty much hush hush to the public and media.
MnCalapati415 I just read up on it, thanks for bringing it to my attention
Jake Miles No worries. Alot of people dont know about Boy George and Jon (drummer) fling they had going.
December 2021 and this voice is still one of the finest of all time.
January 2022
Finest of all time? What!? What's wrong with your ears?
F-ing march! Still Awsome!
