Probably my favorite song from this band. I'd honestly rather listen to Boy George than a lot of what's on the radio these days.
That’s a massive understatement.
Me too
Agreed!
Defintiely one of their top 3 if not #1 for me.
Does everyone else seem to feel really happy when they hear this song? I love it!
Yes!
Agreed. Just a fun, upbeat song. My fav from them.
Yes ! Always an instant happy feeling !
Absolutely!
Any of his music majes me wana dance
I feel sorry for people who aren't old enough to remember amazing songs like this.
and i'm 14
Oh shoot! I was in high school!!
Great statement!!! I couldn't agree more.
Good thing they can see it here.
@cne08 so do I! That's some good music🎶 🎶the kind that never gets old!☺
Can we rewind time to go back to the 80's? Asking for a generation.
I would love to go back to the '80s...
back when transgenders were boy george lol
@teknowil It was gender bending back in the day. George was just sexy, period.
F man if I wasn't so old I'd take physics to build my own time machine.
You're all invited.

Voice of the women backup singer really gives this song some funky groove
Reminds me of Erasure
??????@@qwertytheone?????
@@qwertytheoneerasure?? what exactly? his voice definitely not the music
helen terry
@@thecapricorn11terry helen actually.
Respect to George for giving the amazing Helen Terry her fair share of time in the spotlight and credit for her considerable contribution to many of the band's hits in official videos and stage performances. The two harmonised very nicely together and he clearly genuinely appreciated her as a great artist in her own right.
Oh my gosh Helen Terry was great surprised anyone remembers. She was WOW😂
@@SandraNasrollah, a truly amazing voice. I love Helen's vocals, particularly on "Church Of The Poison Mind" and "Victims" :)
I just listened to this video side by side with a current tour performance (7-28-23), it's AMAZING the difference Helen makes!
The song sounds so much BETTER with her on it!🎶🎶
She's a banshee....... can't here a word said nor make sense of this ridiculous track......
I loved and love this man and igrew up sooooto dance and sing w Boy and his coool Band❤❤
They were huge back in the day but their legacy is dismissed out of hand. They were highly original with deep undertones. They were one of the few bands who defined that era- as short lived as it was. I was in my senior year in high school when they broke out. And they caused quite a sensation. They deserve a better spot in pop music history.
Amen
YES, they do! They DESERVE to be in the ROCK N' ROLL HALL of FAME!
(especially when you consider who's already in there)
I was hoping they would make a movie about them! Id love to see it!🥰
@@danityvanityinsanityThere is a film about Culture Club (ok, mainly about Boy) called Worried About The Boy made for BBC TV. It's not that great but it's better than nothing. It's probably somewhere on TH-cam. Apparently they were working on a new one in early 2020 but we all know what happened in 2020, and I haven't heard anything about it since then, so I don't know if that's still happening, but don't hold your breath.
I saw them at the Warfield and the quality of talent gave me goosebumps at times during the performance.
Culture club and boy George put out hits. Way before their time. They don't get the credit they deserve. I still rock these songs in 2022. I remember watching MTV. Background in the day. Love the videos. Sure miss those days 😁
That backing vocalist is freaking Amazing
Helen Terry.
Helen Terry had an Aretha Franklin voice. She was so good. If you listen to "Black Money", you will understand my reference. Rest in peace, Miss Aretha Franklin!
Yes 👍
Actually, listening to the album again, Helen Terry's voice can be annoying a lot of the time.
La gran Helen Terry
Boy George, so ahead of his time. Great soulful sound, great soulful voice.
Sylvan De La Cruz: Very true about Boy George being ahead of his time. I remember one day I said to my mother how meaningful I realized the song "Karma Chameleon," was/is, because, as a younger person, I only liked it because it was a catchy tune. But then as I got older and listened to the lyrics I learned the true depth of the song's message. My mother said to me, "Didn't you realize that, from the beginning?"
Boy George was great...but a "soulful sound/voice" is a bit extreme...(he got his "soulful sound" from black people)
I put Boy George and Freddie Mercury on that level so far ahead of there time. I might even include bowie
He’s style was so outrageous it over shadowed how powerful his songwriting was. Truly an man ahead of his time. These lyrics are profound.
Agreed and second only to Ken Boothe.
It's about his 'secret' affair with Jon Moss
No he didn't
I think his SINGING OVERSHADOWED his appearance. Where I was (Seattle), once he opened his mouth to sing, his appearance became a "non-issue", it didn't matter anymore.
@@GARose-kt4jc 1000% If anything his style was/is a bonus.
Boy George is probably the most under appreciated singer from the 80s, and he was masterful in front of the camera in all his videos with his dance moves, eye contact and hand movements. This track is arguably one of their finest - just a perfect storm of George's vocals, the motown infused sound, harmonica intro, Helen Terry's amazing backing voice, and a video that is pure art - such an uplifting song from a group that was ahead of its time.
he was never underappreciated. He was huge...geesh
@@lyricberlin but he doesn't get the same recognition and respect as other top musicians from the 1980s and he should!
I understand what you mean by him being underappreciated but still he became extremely famous and lasted the test of time. Boy George is now legendary status.
His voice was always just beautiful 👍
I appreciated him so much!
Their finest hour, I think. Helen Terry is freaking amazing.
+ziweiyuan it's boy george
Evelinau Goonie
Thanks for the update. The woman doing the amazing background vocals is Helen Terry.
She makes this song hot!
+sherry binkowski Most definitely. Love her voice.
Helen Terry is an essential part of Cture Club, and she is what adds the spice to the band's music. Wouldn't be the sane without her
Culture Club deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame!
+Ruben Delgadillo Yep. They were wizards combining American R & B, Reggae, and Punk Rock & New Wave. I'd like to see Janet Jackson, New Edition, Chic, and even Olivia Newton John who has never been Nominated.
+laminage You're right I'm beginning to lose respect for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
+Ruben Delgadillo Yah, 'cause nothing says "Rock and Roll" quite like Culture Club... O.o
+Ruben Delgadillo The fact that Ringo was inducted at the same time than Green Day tells you something about the current state of the Hall of Fame.
Ringo never had the same status that the other Three did. He hardly wrote or Sang, and he didn't create the first Benefit Concert. To many people he was just the guy who was in the right place at the right time. There are so many folks who have yet to be Inducted like Chic. To many they were just a Disco Group but they did so much. They were Songwriters, Producers, and they allowed their Music to be used for the First Rap Record.
I love Culture Club. Boy George was so beautiful and handsome at the same time!
Nearly 40 years later this easy going popper still kicks. Helen Terry and the guitar fills on beats 2 and 4 make the song roll right along. Wake up and smell the coffee: it's still the Eighties!
the 80s was one of the best decades ever!
Chau Candy Hell yes xx
Yes along with the 60s and 70s
Yes it was!
Absolutely, happy, bright, fun
@@IceQueenKimberly Agree 100%
Culture Club is a hall of fame band.They need a biopic movie like queen.They will have a new legion of fans that love them as much as i do.Phenomenal band.
It wasn't a studio film like Bohemian Rhapsody, but they had a television movie, Worried About the Boy, that was made maybe a decade ago. Still one of my favorite bio pics and the first movie I downloaded way back then (feels like ancient times now).
Boy George has said he would like Sophie Turner to play the young version of him. That would be kinda awesome.
Believe me I have dozens of C.C. records, but in truth they only had one exceptional album (C.B.N) and one good album (K.T.B.C). However I feel Don't mind if I do was very underrated and their third best although George didn't feel it was very good. Less than perfect really is perfect!
Bwahahahahaha
They do it called “ worried about the boy”
Low budget music videos, awesome choreographed dancing, harmonicas, saxophones, violins, synthesizers and harmonizing soothing God gifted vocals .
80's music is the greatest era of music in my 50 year old lifetime .
Does anyone else agree?
Actually, this song has Motown written all over it.
This is a masterpiece. Culture Club should be appreciated for their fantastic songs first and foremost!
Helen Terry is the unsung hero of Culture Club.
yes!
Never understood why she was never officially part of the band. Helen's voice popped up in enough Culture Club songs, she was pretty present in videos and appearances and her singing was (sorry Boy George fans) more soulful.
+Megared82 She didn't want to be a permanent member of the band!
Probably because she hated Jon...
Club 1 Fan
Love the 80s...Do any of you remember when (in the days of MTV--before Internet) we used to have to stay up late to see the world premier of videos like this!?! Those were magical times.... ;)
and when Mtv actually played MUSIC lol l was there when it began first vid?? Video killed the radio star ha!!
OMG YES....... the 70's and 80's were ELECTRIC MAGIC.... clubs on every block blasting dance music... you'd dance your ass off in one club... then walk to the next club and cool off between clubs.... now you're lucky if you ever SEE a club unless you're in new york, paris, LA or vegas...and even those are NOTHING like they were in the 80's......
I live forever in the 1980s! I was shopping recently--and I swear the new clothes look like they are bringing back the 80s style! LOL! What is old is new again! And this music still can be heard in shopping malls!
Yes, great memories ;)
MTV held us "hostage"! waiting for the newest Duran Duran video! My God we had no life I guess!
"Love is hard to find in the church of the poisoned mind" . I was just listening to this song and suddenly realized that one line is so true especially right now when there is so much hate for others who are different from the rest.
All of Boy George's music is still going strong nearly 50 years later. That's how good it was and is! 🎉❤️
Saw Culture Club September 11, 1983 at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO. My daughter was 11 at the time and I was without a vehicle at that time. Taxi cab picked us up at home at 7 AM and off we went. Doors didn't open til noon, so we waited all that time. BUT we got front row seats and the show was the B O M B! I loved Culture Club and still do!!!
This song encompasses the happy spirit that was the 80s.
I adored him when I was a kid! His beautiful voice, face and personality! I loved it when he was a guest on the A-Team. This was one talented band. COMPLETELY UNIQUE.
I JUST SAW THAT EPISODE YESTERDAY!👍
@@arthurjoseph2148 Here, Ive got a bobby!
I was crazy about this song
That episode is on right now! Lol
@Dominique I was the same, I wanted to marry him, but my mum told me I wasn't his type, I assumed she meant he was too old, but I'd still marry him, he was my late grans favourite artist and when karma Chameleon came on we'd get up and dance, that's one of my fondest memories of my gran .
What a contagious fun upbeat song!! Contagious in a good way!! You could hear this song over and over and never get sick of it!! Loved it then and will always will!!
He based it on Stevie Wonder's "Uptight."
Absolutely.
The way George speaks with his eyes is so magical yet so effortlessly done.
He is a Natural. Heart and Soul for sure.
Incredible. This guy is a natural.
It’s too bad that Boy George had to start using drugs. That certainly limited the shelf life of Culture Club’s career. If he had stayed clean I’m sure the hits would have kept on coming.
Yes he does. Love the Boy.
@@dustythe2nd188 My little sister, who was only 5 at the time they became popular, even noticed that :)
I know Culture Club is iconic but I still don't think Boy George is appreciated for the true artist he is. These are deep songs man.
Dave B ive said that for yrs. george never got recognition for writing some of the best songs period.
Dave B Boy George was doubly blessed. A world class set of vocal chords paired with a bit of genius for songwriting. One of the most gifted talents I can think of.
Eugene Ward,Jr. you wont believe this but i just finished watching an eposide of the a-team and boy george and culture club starred on it. george also had ryathm. he did nice simple dance moves but you could tell he had rythem. you could tell that george and george micheals definitly hung around a lot of blacks. george was a great writter.
Do you know him ?
Kevin coxen no, why?
This song takes you back to the 80s faster than any time machine ever could...
My Nan was a real old school Irish Catholic woman, we had to go to church every Sunday as kids
I loved it when this song came out on the radio , she’d turn it down though! 😂
If she could hear todays music 💀😂
Man I wish I can go back to those days ,today’s living sucks big time .
hahahahahh
People that did not get to experience those times have no clue what it was like!!
I hear ya….we didn’t realize how good the music was @ that time because it was just expected…So many great bands, so much diversity. I’m the kinda person who can listen to Culture Club one minute and the next pop on Slayer for example. Seems like no one even plays instruments today..? Just curious what year u were born so I have an idea what you grew up with. I’m born 75.
Music isn’t quite as good as it was in the’70’s-90’s eras that’s for sure!! If you live in Ontario Canada thank god for the station boom radio from Toronto!! Even if you aren’t you can still listen through those radio players. Definitely worth checking out!!
pleasssssssse
I was 12 when this came out,as I sat and watched this I was thinking about how much are world has changed since than. We grew up in a great era I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world
The 80's were so awesome & fun! We were lucky to have been 80's Teens...wish I had a time machine to go back!
Me too, it was a great age...
Ah, people my age that truly understand how great the 80s were, and still are. May the 80s live forever. A decade of fun and celebration. Wish I could go back in time.
: )
Music bery Na.....
We had the best in the 80s.
中学生の頃 歌は毎日聴いてたけど
映像は観る事が出来なかった。
40年近い時を経て こうしてボーイ・ジョージの当時の映像を観る事が出来て
感激です。素晴らしい！
love him or hate him there is absolutely NO denying the genius of boy george...and his voice!...awesome
WHAT'S NOT TO HATE ABOUT GEORGE ALAN O'DOWD?
I was definitely born in the wrong era! I'm 20 and love all the older music, Culture Club is one of my favourite bands, I've has privilege of seeing them live and meeting them multiple times now, they're all really sweet, especially Mikey! Songs like this bring me so much joy! Oh, to have been alive back then!
My son, born in the 2000's, says the exact same thing all the time. He wishes that he was born in the late 70's/early 80's. He constantly plays his guitar to all of the 80's music, loves The Cure...
I had all their albums you’re lucky that you get to meet them and you’re 20 I didn’t get to meet him The 80s were the best keep rocking those 80s
Same. Old musicians and their creations are precious than diamonds.
Wow you’re younger than me and you met them first? Lol
@@TisEYEthe1 You raised him right! 😁
Say what you want about George but the man can write some bops
Above average boxer as well...
🔥🔥🔥 Helen Terry’s vocals on this is insane♥️♥️♥️
l like jordan😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😘😘😘👩❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👨
CHURCH OF THE POSION MIND IS THE BEST SONG OF 1983. I STILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS 1983.
Amen!
SOUTHBURY Frank , long live Culture Club and the 80s.
I love the tune but 83/84 was incredible with all the great songs on the pop charts. Its staggering the amount of hits
Reminds me of Motown and northern soul.
Very Motown sounding
that wink at the end, right before George breaks into laughter. so charming!
Gary, I love it too!
Yeah!! Break out some laughter at the Prosperity Gospel-it needs some mud in its eye!!
Ugh he was the cutest thing back then! Too bad I’m no 80s teen
The 1980's. A time of GREAT MUSIC and MEMORABLE SONGS!
Glad to have enjoyed this decade. Thank you, Culture Club, for defining our age!
One of his most upbeat songs. Makes you wanna dance.
Boy george es el mas guapo de yodo europa te amo mi amor
The song is still HOT in 2018! 🔥🔥
good muzak dont die bae.
And the church is, still, poisoning minds, in 2018. Small world.
Owned the lp back in the day and wore it out.

Helen Terry's voice seriously blows my mind! As does George! As does every band member! This is such a perfect song, and a perfect video.

Culture Club - Church ⛪️ Of The Poison Mind 1983
Jun 2, 2009
I always loved this song. Boy George & Helen Terry sound great together. She's so underrated. She has such a powerful beautiful voice!!!
So long ago, but it seems like it was yesterday every time I hear it. The '80s were the best.
Amen!!
Amen.
This is one of the most uplifting songs of the 80's
Yes this is my go to happy song! Dusty the 2nd.
Amen!
Come on folks, what a magnificent voice this man projects. He is one of the best and we all know it! My favorite song of Culture Club.
Just two words.... HELEN TERRY!!! Her vocals were on point
Wow! Didn't know her name. Thanks. She's incredible!!
I cannot get over this man's voice. Genius.
i love boy george forever and ever
Since all of the drug abuse, Like Whitney Houston, he's lost a great deal of his voice. Watch him on "The View", his vocals are just awful.
He is cool. I love his voice. Also, a new album is coming out soon. (Well, at least I heard.)
It's a little raspy but I like the more mature sound bro
True that. I hated CC back in the 80s but now Boy George's voice (from the 80s) sounds, to me, outstanding.
George's Soulful Voice is timeless...
Just try to find someone in todays music world with a voice like Boy Geroge....dont bother, you can't. He is one of a kind.
Yep
This song was released way ahead of its time. Makes me wanna go out & have a great time.
I always felt that Boy George’s controversial image distracted most from the fact that they made extremely well crafted blue eyed soul. Helen Terry hits all the right notes here.
Seeing things now, I'm convinced he was a head of his time and courageous! His image should should distract anyone from his artistic genius. I mean I grew up in the deep south and deep in church but I thought both he and his music were beautiful and transcendant. I mean look at that face! Such a sweet young boy!
I agree. That voice! That delivery! That Boy could sing. I don't think he realized or appreciated it at that time. Seems like he was more into the look than the music at that time. Things have changed with maturity.
Helen Terry is awesome.
I m etero. But the young George boy was really a beautiful boy. Or girl. 😂 It depend. He was versatile.
I agree and I am not gay.
I think Culture Club is having a resurgence.
These blokes were quite really ahead of their time with their dubious sexuality and not making a big fuss about it like today's freaks. Miss the 80s so much.
For me, this song is the absolute masterpiece of culture club and the video is sweet.
The duet of Boy George and the lady with the short hair is sensational, their voices are complementing each other so well.
Beside that, Boy George is so pretty (actually beautiful with sparkling eyes etc)
and flirtatious. No wonder that both men and women fell for him.
What artists!
Where are such of this kind nowadays?
Who's back watching/listening the end of Sept. 2019?

@@wpochert 100% , when you have a voice like that you're always onto a winner.
Church of the poison mind, such an appropriate title.
the lady singing on this her voice is amazing

+disiskrazy d Great gig in the sky singer
+MsFanmail it's a boy
+disiskrazy d If she had better Marketing like Alison Moyet she could have been as big as Adele.
+laminage it's a boy. boy george
I’m a rock guy but this is a classic, the best song they ever did
I'm more or less in the same boat as you.
Darling George a legend thank you so much for your beautiful music and memories
My favourite song of the 80’s! Must be why I’m top 0.05% of culture club listeners on Spotify 😊
When life was so easy and happy
true for having known the 80 ies so well !!!!
I was a child when I heard this song, and years later I searched for it, so glad to have the song back in my life.
It's amazing!!
Helen was a fantastic addition to Culture Club on many songs
Boy George was ahead with his music 🎶 he made it timeless 💯🔥
Helen Terry sings bodacious backup/featured vocals!
This is all opraetta 🦁
boy george, i miss the 80s
Still banging this out who’s listening in 2021 give it a big like 👍
Even people back in the 80s who didn't want to admit they liked culture club, really did love their music 👌
My mom loved to hear him sing!
Fantastic memories of being in my twenties.....happy, carefree and always partying!! ; ) I still have my 126 camera with the magicube on top!!
Those were great. Really cool.
Boy George knew he could sing... The lady voice in the background makes the song magic.. Oh the 80’s , so much fun
A punk band with so much soul. Definitely the sounds of the 80"s.
Boy George has swag.
Mikey has such a beautiful smile.
They were the 80's, a magical time, how I miss it.
This is one of those songs that’s so upbeat and fun. Also, this is one of those lost 80’s hits. Highly underrated song
Such a great era!
That Motown vibe makes this entire song.....
Culture Club recorded it as a tribute to the Motown sound. That's why it sounds like that.
They are the symbol of the 80's. They're legends. ❤
Jon rocked this song! I'm VERY SAD that he was kicked out of the band.😢
Boy George and Helen Terry, the best duo ever!
Man! when I say we had some of the best music! Singers, bands and the orchestra were unbelievable! It will never be another time like the time of the 80s.
what's not to love about Boy George ♡
Another one of my favorite songs from the 1980s.
I SO MISS George's 80's voice!!
Oh Lord..Boy George You're needed..
He'll be in a milliners somewhere..! 🎩🎩🎩🎩🎵🎤💋
I loved this band back in the 80s. Boy George and this band was incredible and vocalist, however props go that incredible woman and vocalist, Helen Terry! Helen Terry can sing her ass off! Does anyone know where she is today? Her vocal prowess is was amazing!
+Deborah Garner-Moore I was just saying the same thing, his background girl is *badass* , I love this song (and Boy George) so much♥♥♥!!!
Who knew a white Scottish lady could sound so soulful????
@@pbhoulden8212 There's alot of soul in the UK.
@@markusantonio4866 I think UK singers and fans appreciate soul music more than Americans
@@markusantonio4866 OMG YES!! This is SO true. Just look at Paul Weller, Lisa Stansfield, George Michael, Adele, Led Zeppelin, and many more. They are so soulful and musical chameleons!!
ONE OF GREATEST SONGS FROM THE 80s
This incredible decade full of wonderful singers and bands. ❤
A very popular MTV video in 1983
Maybe they will show it again on MTV Classics when it premiers August 1st! It says on my on screen tv guide that they will be airing classic videos.
Boy George is one of the greatest lyricists but will never get the credit.
I agree!
All you have to is put all his songs together and spend the day listening just pick one day and call it Culture Club Day.🌍👍🌍🙏🌍😘🌍🎼🌍💃🌍🎁🌍🎉🌍👏🌍🌟🌍💯🌍
Whenever I hear a Culture Club song unexpectedly (the grocery store, what have you), my mood is instantly uplifted. ❤
