They were accepted in every culture, gender and race! I'm an African American and grew up in sticks! I will always be a fan of this band! Boy George went out there did his thing! We didn't care about who he was! He's underrated as having one the most beautiful voices of all time! Peace everyone!
This album in general, (Colour By Numbers) has a solid handful of great hits on it!! This would be a good one to have on vinyl, because you'll actually want to play almost every song each time you put it on!! Great band!! I'm sad that Jon quit last year, but he served us well!!
Amazing how that works . . this was always one of my favs... I had the opportunity to meet Boy George back in the 80's, I use to work at the Paradise garage in NYC,, he would frequent the club often... he was a cool guy . .
Listen, I was a black teenager from the uk growing up in the 80s. Culture club was everything! Still listen to them now. Their album Colour by Numbers I feel was one of the best albums of the 80’s. George’s voice was everything!
I totally agree he was a performer way before his time, he put a statement out there without even saying anything that it was okay to be yourselves. God bless you be safe peace out
@@asinelliplatamona8348 you stay well also kindness always wins in the end, we need to pass that on I hear from so many comments from people on TH-cam it's so beautiful to speak to so many people that you don't even know even when you speak on the phone to people on all these call stations now that they have I speak to on believable people beautiful people it's amazing kindness and love always went out over hate love to all. Peace out
I am near 66 years old, a black American by ethnicty, and loved this song back in the early 1980's when I was working in the Pentagon while in the U.S. Army. It is still a great song in near the end of 2022.
I’m a 52 year old straight male and I LOVE Boy George and Culture Club!! Hell yeah I still jam the hell out of this and don’t care who hears it!! It is some of the best music from the 80’s which I was lucky enough to grow up in that decade!! A lot of people judge people by their race, creed , skin color , genre etc.. This is bull s:-! You should treat people with respect like I was taught from my parents and let them be who they are supposed to be. Boy George is openly gay and uses it to his advantage through his music and talents!! I have read over 400 plus comments on hear and sadly there are still some idiots who judge and comment rudely!! Not only did Boy G bring us Culture Club and great music but he also is a world ranked DJ to boot!! In the late 80’s he was ranked in the top 100 DJ’s in the world and now he is at 1531 ranked in the world, still badass though. Google it for yourself if you don’t believe me!! Keep kicking Ass Boy George!!
@ guidance19 so is the way it looked,that guitar in the video looked from out of this world,I didn't take notice of guitar playing until you said something,I wonder if that is a playable guitar or if they ever made a real one modeled after that one
I graduated high school in 1980. There's no way I can describe 80's For myself, it's beyond words. I'm so fortunate to have been there. Honestly, I'm a old man now at 60, but I'm still stuck in the 80's. Hopefully, I always will be. The 80's what a time to be a young man
This was played all over the "hood" in the 80's. Nobody cared what Boy George "was or was not." Back then, all that mattered was how good the music was!
Great tune and artist. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeeded, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : th-cam.com/video/yHOrRmaAdz4/w-d-xo.html and stay safe
Hopefully it still can be that good and even better! Our current pop stars didnt have to go through the school of hard knocks to get to the top. Im not going to name names either.
Most of them don't develop before they step on the scene these days. Nobody spending money because we no longer buy records. And they basically deliver the same thing someone else is already giving. We're lucky when we even get a solid good song from any genre these days😭
Yes everyone at work spoke about the 80s but you had to be there and I was. The music difference was in abundance from everywhere, what a great time to be alive.
1983 was a fun music year. 8th grade back.then. looking at yearbooks I have to laugh at how silly some of us looked. Especially the hairstyles. I wore thick eyeglasses with a sun protective coating and short feathered hair. Those were the days.
Being a kid in the 80's was awesome. Times were great, music was great and so were people in general. I remember being able to turn on MTV, VH1 and watch all the music videos. How blessed we were being able to see all the videos to these 80's classics. Today's youth has no idea how cool it was to watch all those videos!
I got to see them in North Carolina in 2018, and when I say I LOSS MY MIND!!!! It was Boy, 4:35 , B52s and the Thompson Twins.... Best Concert I been to in a very long time.
I totally agree with you Don, if we could bring those days back they would be heavenly. Our world is in total chaos such hate, we need love and prayer more than ever. God bless everybody, stay safe peace out❤☺👊😷🙏💃❤
Don Mac wow back in the day we didn't care if he was a man or a girl! As to day I still don't! Culture Club and many others of this time just brought us all together! Some today may be diverse! Then we loved everyone. Every look, every expression, of whom a person was or wanted to be. It was breath taken. It was colorful. It was the waves of light! God Bless
Remember jams like this on Friday Night Videos? Growing up as a teen during the 80s and staying up all night on Friday nights to watch music videos was absolutely amazing.
This was Culture Club's Golden Age. Their music hit its peak, along with their popularity. Something amazing at how naturally it all unfolded...This is what separates the great bands from the good.
Lauren Bober greetings, I am a straight man who wasn't ashamed to say that I loved Boy George and Culture Club then and now,great songs back to back hits , he definitely had a great voice and yes he was pretty but it wasn't offensive just fun
Maybe now 20+ years later people will realize how great and diverse a group Culture Club was! Great songs beautiful arrangements covering many jargons and yes Boy George that voice!
I was lucky enough to be a teenager when this was a worldwide hit. What an era of great music! Culture Club are definitely the soundtrack to my life. Listening to them brings back fantastic memories of events and loved ones that have departed and who also enjoyed their sound.
My cousin knew Jermaine. I was in London. He gave me Jermaine's number. He told me to tell Jermaine to introduce me to George. It took me a while to track down Jermaine. To make a long story short, nothing ever happened with Jermaine. Did I let that stop me? No!!! I met George on my own!
Life when this song came out: no cable, no Internet, no cell phones. Instead, we had a VCR, Atari, and imagination as kids. Kids did everything outside back then - rode bikes, pool hopping, collected stickers, playing sports with other neighborhood kids, watergun fights, playing with walkie talkies, etc. You made the best with what (little) you had. It was really a lot of fun!
I love being old! We were so cheap we didn't have cable until 1985 so I taped this and the interview with Boy George off Friday Night Videos. (Somehow we were the first on the block with a VCR)
+ℒℴѵℯ AXL ROSE I agree I miss the simple days of the 80's and nothing revolved around having Wi-Fi and having a computer, things were so simple back then and even though I was born in 1982 I remember the 80's like it was yesterday and also I remember there being lots of variety in music and TV and nothing was reality on TV or there was barely any drama.
I am still listening and its May 2020 this takes me back to a fun time in my life i am 64 years old and i use to party off this in the San Fran bay area
He knew how to apply - that's for sure. Girls back then wore more makeup and I loved it!! At a club in Charlotte they looked so good dressed up to the hilt! Girls have natural beauty so I am not saying anything derogatory about girls with no makeup of course!!
The first time I heard Culture Club on the radio before seeing their videos, I was convinced Boy George was black - a great soul voice he had for a white guy. Good memories of that time in 1983 when I was a teen at school, and all that brilliant music was all over the radio and the charts. What passes for popular music in 2025 doesn't compare to the 80s and 90s classics.
Roy, Jon, Mikey, and George definitely are blind or missing any of their other five senses! They are spot on making such wonderful pop music! MISS ME BLIND is one of my all time favorite Culture Club songs along with TIME (CLOCK OF THE HEART), IT'S A MIRACLE, NEXT TO YOU, and MOVE AWAY. I love Culture Club in general, but these are my Top 5 favorite songs of their Top 40 Billboard chart hits. MISS ME BLIND went to #3 in 1984!
This song brings memories of growing up in the 80ies...no cable till 1985, no internet, cell phones or computers...no reality TV. Life was sooo simple!
I remember when this song was on the radio! I was in teens then ! The 80,S rule . The Culture Club really had some great hits . They hit it out of the park with this one ! Just listening to it really brings back memories from one heck of a great decade! 😊
@SINGING CROW CADIEUX I'm 65 and still dancing 💃, they play the 80's music on Saturday's it makes you feel so happy ☺ ,our country is in casus,the virus,thw protest.the 🎶 is what we need right now, also, we need to pray now like never before.God bless you stay safe peace ✌ Amen👍❤💃🙏😷👊🎶👍
Those of us that came up through that era, graduating high school in 80, maturing through the decade, it was perfect. There were plenty of jobs, it was a trusting time, everyone was on the same side. Things started to turn south toward the end of the decade with AIDS, crack cocaine and gang violence. But we had a great run up until that.
They were so ahead of their time. I wasn't in to them back in the day. Now I realize how good they were. We had legendary talent back then.These days there's no true legendary talent. There's a few talented artist, but you cant compare them to the artist of the 70's, 80's and 90's.
The Bridge has great chord set ups and the hand claps added to the latter part of the choruses was brilliant production work elevating the song into a classic.
Thanks for the reply! I believe that was the writer's goal; to appeal to the demographic that buys music for the rest of their lives, 12 year old girls who are now in their 40's. That's most certainly why I keep hearing the song on current radio. My comment was slanted toward production details. I apologize. I was speaking in terms of "mail box jobs" as the holder of the song's licensing, etc. still gets a really nice check every 3 months. That's a keeper, a classic in format sense. peace...
This song sliced thru the radio clutter like a bulldozer. To my ears it was the greatest thing I’d ever heard. It stands as one of pop radio’s monuments.
Boy George was so talented and music was legendary so I didn't even know or care if he was gay!! Just loved his songs and sung along like I wrote them myself 😍
I love the tone of his voice... The lyrics to this song demonstrate Boy George's gemini spirit so very much... He knows his value, he knows he will be missed by his lover. Now that takes some real self-confidence.
Great tune and artist. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeeded, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : th-cam.com/video/yHOrRmaAdz4/w-d-xo.html and stay safe
Omg, samee Soy de latam igual, tengo 20 y soy simp de George y CC, jsjs. Lastimosamente para su próxima gira en países hispanos solo irán a Cancún y España:((
Yessss - the videos on MTV and VH1 seemed magical -- maybe it helped that I was out of college by '83 and my life was so carefree w/o homework!! The Reagan years and the optimism paired with the music - loved the British Invasion!!!!
This was playing at work once... I was on cash and was singing along. Then this lady came up and totally busted me singing, then SHE started singing it to! that was the best day ever.
中学生の時CMでこの歌を耳にした瞬間、身体中の血が逆流するような、制御できないジェットコースターに乗ったような、猛烈な衝撃を受けました。
They were accepted in every culture, gender and race! I'm an African American and grew up in sticks! I will always be a fan of this band! Boy George went out there did his thing! We didn't care about who he was! He's underrated as having one the most beautiful voices of all time! Peace everyone!

Hey I'm a HUGE Culture Club Fan!! @66y/o I will their hits on the highest level. May you continue to success .
They were banned to perform in America at one point.

Listen, I was a black teenager from the uk growing up in the 80s. Culture club was everything! Still listen to them now. Their album Colour by Numbers I feel was one of the best albums of the 80’s. George’s voice was everything!
Oh for sure!!
yea but are you still black?
Same as well, living in the US at that time was one of My favorites along with the police and Wham, MTV times 😅
Thomas bro try to be nice it won't kill you or maybe will we should be so lucky
yesssssss. same here but in Miami, FL USA
This Man Has Never Been Given Proper Credit For His Gift , We Love You George.

Awesome! My Uncle worked in the pentagon many years ago ! Smart guy !
この曲は大好きだったのですが、ビデオクリップは初めて見ました。バリのガムラン、日本の江戸時代、タイのムエタイが混在したエスニックテイストに仕上げられていてとても楽しいです。「クローン戦争」という単語が見られて、80年代に既に未來を予見したアイデアがちりばめられているのも興味深いですね。Culture Clubという名に恥じない素晴らしいビデオでした。
スターウォーズ(1977年)のルークとオビワンの会話の中で「クローン戦争」という単語が出てるのでそれかと。
「Luke:You fought in the Clone Wars?
Ben:Yes. I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father.」

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
I so, so resonate with that.
Yes, exactly.
Trump's ear episode brought me here. Miss(ed) Me
he still misses you
Oh yes it's takes me back being in high school in the 80's.the title is written in my photo album from then,this and its a miracle
久しぶりに聴きました。あの時代を思い出しました。戦慄な音楽とルックスに釘付けでした。今でも流行するでしょう。
Even my grown sons, I’m 66, say they wish they grew up musically in my generation! They love the music! Makes a mum proud! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Same here, my 16 Year old daughter want to live in the 80s, she do not like this 'modern' times
Well done, madam 😉
Heck Yeah Mum
show her vidoes
The guitar in this song is just out of this world. I mean it.
3.30
Youre totally right one of the greatest guitar solos of all time.
Mickey and Roy played the guitar.
My favourite part of the song is the synth .. its so chill ... and the video just bring me back to the great cosy neon mood of the 80s ...
@ guidance19 so is the way it looked,that guitar in the video looked from out of this world,I didn't take notice of guitar playing until you said something,I wonder if that is a playable guitar or if they ever made a real one modeled after that one
I love 80's music and I think Boy George has a beautiful voice!
I saw him a couple years back with Culture club he's still got it.
Yes he does...
To my kids lol
Agreed! Brings back childhood music memories

This is one of their most underrated songs - close to my favorite of all of their catalogue. Just sums up their style perfectly.

Truly Grateful being a kid back then. REMEMBER THAT FIRST.
Amen to that!
For sure! I’m glad I got that privilege to !
Except for the crack epidemic
You’re kinda hot Ruth
I got to see them in North Carolina in 2018, and when I say I LOSS MY MIND!!!! It was Boy, 4:35 , B52s and the Thompson Twins.... Best Concert I been to in a very long time.
they broke all kinda barriers everybody like their music it has no race or color it just sounds good we can all learn from music

I know what you mean about his voice, George "put a spell on me" the first time I heard him sing back in early 1983!
I remember exactly where i was in life when this song was played on the radio.
The voices of Boy George and Jermaine Stewart in chorus are Brilliant!!

Yeh, noticed that, lots different people like him. Makes me happy, thanks !
When music was music regardless of sexual orientation
Well, it still is to half the country, that other half wants to drag us back to the 1880's...
yea dongs all over

So true
so thankful to be raised on good music like this

So true. Pete Townsend of “The Who” once said something very similar.
Damn right
And he's very pretty.
Boy George has one of the best singing voices ever to step up to the mike.........He really was the darling of the MTV era.
One of the best groups of the 80' s so under rated. They were ground breakers and never got credit they deserved
❤❤❤ still listening 2024
His eye brows and eye shadow are on point. I always admired it, even back in the 1980's.
my eye admires that too
Aurora Brusseau it took me a year before realizing he was a man.
He has beautiful eyes I agree!!!
He knew how to apply - that's for sure. Girls back then wore more makeup and I loved it!! At a club in Charlotte they looked so good dressed up to the hilt! Girls have natural beauty so I am not saying anything derogatory about girls with no makeup of course!!
Aurora Brusseau ...If you like that kind of thing in a man... That's showmanship for you for sure!
Ah, the 80s when I was sporting around in a 1980 Z28 Camaro!
Love, love, love this song! I bought this Culture Club album. The whole thing was bomb. We lived the 80s out LOUD!!
The first time I heard Culture Club on the radio before seeing their videos, I was convinced Boy George was black - a great soul voice he had for a white guy. Good memories of that time in 1983 when I was a teen at school, and all that brilliant music was all over the radio and the charts. What passes for popular music in 2025 doesn't compare to the 80s and 90s classics.
Culture Club were ahead of their time. I always thought their music was fresh and it still is.
Roy, Jon, Mikey, and George definitely are blind or missing any of their other five senses! They are spot on making such wonderful pop music! MISS ME BLIND is one of my
all time favorite Culture Club songs along with TIME (CLOCK OF THE HEART),
IT'S A MIRACLE, NEXT TO YOU, and MOVE AWAY. I love Culture Club in general,
but these are my Top 5 favorite songs of their Top 40 Billboard chart hits.
MISS ME BLIND went to #3 in 1984!
日本人です。 青春時代 ファンです！
Great somg from a simpler time in life
I was a Metal Head back in the early 80`s, but really appreciate this fine music even all these years later!
Me too.
I still am a metal head but also love and appreciate so many other music genres.
カルチャークラブは私の青春✨✨
I am proud to have been a child back in the 1980s - I am proud to be part of this generation. :)
Me too
Boy George was so original
Love his songs love them all
My whole class of '83...stood and sang this to each other on our last day of school. Have great memories.
この曲は好きです。
この曲を聴くと昔懐かしい洋楽がFMラジオの番組が多くありダビングしてたのを思い出します。
This song brings memories of growing up in the 80ies...no cable till 1985, no internet, cell phones or computers...no reality TV. Life was sooo simple!
I remember. 😊❤
Life was good I did this song in my school talent show clothes hair n all won 1st memories I love some boy george
唐突な「メラメラと燃えている〜！」に思わず笑ってしまいました。素敵です。
My mom bought this album when I was a kid. We played it all the time and I knew the words to every song.
I remember when this song was on the radio! I was in teens then ! The 80,S rule . The Culture Club really had some great hits . They hit it out of the park with this one ! Just listening to it really brings back memories from one heck of a great decade! 😊
Class of ‘84!✅❤️😎
No one will fully understand the 80’s unless u lived it the music the freedom
@John Worley so true :)) I feel happy and blessed that I lived it. I was in my 20's having a great time :))
Forget the late sixties and seventies to they were pretty out there. God bless everybody please stay safe, and peace out🐦❤☺🎶👍

Amen 80s Was The Best
Those of us that came up through that era, graduating high school in 80, maturing through the decade, it was perfect. There were plenty of jobs, it was a trusting time, everyone was on the same side. Things started to turn south toward the end of the decade with AIDS, crack cocaine and gang violence. But we had a great run up until that.
Have always loved Boy George, it takes me back to the eighties. I wish I could back and relive those years.
They were so ahead of their time. I wasn't in to them back in the day. Now I realize how good they were. We had legendary talent back then.These days there's no true legendary talent. There's a few talented artist, but you cant compare them to the artist of the 70's, 80's and 90's.
Good thing they're coming out with a new album this year!
The Bridge has great chord set ups and the hand claps added to the latter part of the choruses was brilliant production work elevating the song into a classic.
Thanks for the reply!
I believe that was the writer's goal; to appeal to the demographic that buys music for the rest of their lives, 12 year old girls who are now in their 40's. That's most certainly why I keep hearing the song on current radio. My comment was slanted toward production details. I apologize. I was speaking in terms of "mail box jobs" as the holder of the song's licensing, etc. still gets a really nice check every 3 months. That's a keeper, a classic in format sense. peace...
Mark Primas The music industry doesn't have talent like this anymore. Culture club had star quality and Boy George was an Icon.
Mark, you seem genius with those remarks. Just regurgitating...
This song sliced thru the radio clutter like a bulldozer. To my ears it was the greatest thing I’d ever heard. It stands as one of pop radio’s monuments.
Wow
Boy George was so talented and music was legendary so I didn't even know or care if he was gay!! Just loved his songs and sung along like I wrote them myself 😍
I didn't know, initially. Once I found out, it didn't change my opinion of him. It wasn't what was important, to me.
I love the tone of his voice... The lyrics to this song demonstrate Boy George's gemini spirit so very much... He knows his value, he knows he will be missed by his lover. Now that takes some real self-confidence.
68 and STILL loving it. The 80s were the LAST GREAT MUSICAL DECADE !
Great tune and artist. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeeded, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : th-cam.com/video/yHOrRmaAdz4/w-d-xo.html and stay safe
Agreed
A perfect example of the very best of 1980s music, dazzling and unforgettable, along with this provocative and innovative music video.
YES! DAZZLING ABOUT SUMS IT UP! FOR SURE!
Kool...thanx.
I never realized how badass George is
Yup 👍🏾
How could you not know?
@@dabigdikdangler 😂😂
Yep he was the man:/ boy/ lady! Just wanted more of him and the music. EPIC
@@davebrown9714 great music!!
This is my favorite Culture Club song! Yes I wish the band as a whole really got credit for how good they were.
Going to his concert next month!
It was amazing 👏
I am only 21 years old but I am a complete fan of Culture Club and Boy George, they are incredible. I love them
Me too im 29 and missed the 80s but glad I discovered CC
36 and I started my morning with this
Omg, samee
Soy de latam igual, tengo 20 y soy simp de George y CC, jsjs.
Lastimosamente para su próxima gira en países hispanos solo irán a Cancún y España:((
I'm going to see them next month. Will let you know how it was.
What a pretty and adorable woman ,hello ,my darling ?
Do you not just love love love this awesome artist, and I have to say I am still listening to this day, heart goes out to Boy George
The 80's was my favorite time and this was one of my all time favorites.
Beverly Garner it was great wasn't it Beverly. the 80s was just a special special time
SHIT,if you didn't live or grow up in the 80's....you ain't lived!
Yessss - the videos on MTV and VH1 seemed magical -- maybe it helped that I was out of college by '83 and my life was so carefree w/o homework!! The Reagan years and the optimism paired with the music - loved the British Invasion!!!!
Favian Vasquez I'm greatful to have been born in 1991. If I were born in 2000 I would've missed SO much! Lol
♥♥♥
love it!!! still going off in 2024 culture club
2024 and I am still playing this groove! Love it!!
I'm Japanese. “文化倶楽部” in the video means “Culture Club” in Japanese.
It looks like Boy George loved Japan.
Of course, I love him too!
i love Japan too! excuse me , but what do they say in the end when the castle is burning?
@@plankart6891 They said "メラメラと燃えている!".
That's mean it's burnig or flare up.
“メラメラ” is an onomatopoeia.
@@tak4809 Thank you very much for your kindness! Arigato! 👌😊
Please beware the typhoon!
I love Japan!
Awesome song from the 80's! 😊
Happy Birthday, Boy George and many more! We share the same birthday!🎂
Happy birthday for you too.
@@abdieldavila1650 thank you so much! I really appreciate it.😊
No disrespect but Boy George sounds like a black gospel singer from Detroit or some other Midwestern city
Musically, we're all mixed together.❤
He's from England
Theirs a reason why they call it blue eyed soul we call him the boy
Boy George has always been an amazing singer. Truly a God given voice.
True
This was playing at work once... I was on cash and was singing along. Then this lady came up and totally busted me singing, then SHE started singing it to! that was the best day ever.
Going to see them Saturday night in Cincinnati can't wait
How was it?
I just learned the singer Jermaine Stewart also sang background vocals on this classic!
Wow...didn't know that! Still remember his songs, too.
You are right!
Really cool music, really good band, really excellent time. And Boy George was always ahead of his time.
