And while an entire generation may think it's a legend, the singer-songwriter says that in the beginning, everyone hated it. Believe it ot not, the classic Culture Club tune was almost never made.
The Culture Club lead recalled the rest of the band’s initial reaction in a recent interview with PEOPLE, sharing, “The first time I sang it to the band, they all hated it.”
Boy George continued, “So, I had to almost strong-arm the track onto the album Color by Numbers because we were going in a soulful direction, and the boys, I think, preferred that. But me being me, I like to throw a spanner in the works.”
Going back 42 years later and rerecording the hit is something that was more than just a fun thing to do for Boy George. He revealed to PEOPLE that the song is “massively powerful and iconic in connection to who I am and what I’ve created.”
While his bandmates weren’t exactly keen on the tune at first, luckily, they eventually agreed with George. ‘Karma Chameleon’ hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in February of 1984 and stayed there for three weeks. So yes, he was right!
