I first heard this song on ‘The Tube’ in 1983. As I mentioned previously I had long been a fan of Culture Club from the days of ‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me’ but this song seemed a little darker and deeper than the music I had come to expect from them the like ‘Karma Chameleon’ and ‘It’s a Miracle’ both of which were on the same album.
Jools Holland spoke to Boy George about the single on the phone from New York
and they showed the video and from that moment on this one became my favourite ‘Culture Club’ song. Maybe because it was cold and it was Christmas time and UB40 had ‘Many Rivers To Cross’ in the charts at the same time that I always associate this record with Christmas but it reminds me of the Christmas in 1983 which was similarly an interesting period in my life as I was 15 that year and taking a keener interest in music!
This is a great song.
