Back in the ’80s, New Wave fans were asking Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? And then they realized Things Can Only Get Better—all thanks to Culture Club and Howard Jones.
Yet, Boy George and Jones never took the stage on the same night. That was then. This is now. And their Karma Chameleon has brought them together on a tour and that is delighting fans.
And now they don’t have to say I’d like to get to know you well because they are getting to know each other. And Jones is appreciating, “Getting to hear George’s luxurious soulful voice every night is special.” I can’t say I blame him because I have seen both live, and they both put on an amazing show.
As soon as the Culture Club singer got a chance, he got in his car to hear himself give him directions. How did he react? The cutest I have ever seen him be. Then again, who wouldn’t have that reaction if they heard themselves on their GPS?
Have you ever wondered what it is like driving with Bog George and having him guiding you on your way? Well, now that is possible, thanks to Waze. The navigation app teamed up with the Culture Club singer for Pride Month.
Not only will he tell you where to go. Not like that! But he will also share some insightful thoughts on the way to your destination.
If you are like me and need to listen to music while you drive, then he created a playlist on Spotify for us to listen to. Each track has been selected to celebrate acceptance, freedom of expression, and love. I already have several of them on my playlist, so I promise you will enjoy the ride even more when you listen to musicians like Divine and Bronski Beat.
Did I mention that George O’Dowd also came up with a really cool rainbow car to make our avatar? I hope we get to keep it after this promotion is over.
Oh, and does anyone else use Boy Band for their drive? When I switched to Boy George, they got mad at me. Imagine their voices when they want to start a war? To calm them down, I played The War Song for them. They told me to expect Karma Chameleon in July. What else could I say to them but Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? In unison, they said, “Yes!” It was fun driving with Boy George while I could.
Back in the ’80s, Madonna and Boy George were two of the biggest Pop Divas of the decade. Therefore, it would make sense that people would say they do not get along. Yesterday when the Culture Club singer was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen a caller asked him if that is the case.
George O’Dowd told him, “I never fell out with Madonna.” Then he added, “It was like a series of incidents where we never managed to get close.”
While they are not close, he is a fan of her music and owns several of her albums. Wonder if she owns any of his?
Actually, the better question is how would Madonna answer that question? Before she does, he should preface it with Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? Otherwise, they really will be at War.
Back in the ’80s, Billy Idol and Boy George caused girls around the world to want a White Wedding with them. Although, one was a little bit punk and the other one was a little bit new wave. Two different types of music that were never meant to go together. Therefore, their fans were left dancing with themselves.
After all of these decades, the Crying Game is over because the two met up after a Culture Club concert. Making it Hot in the City. Maybe now that Time has passed they would consider doing a duet like Rebel Yell Karma Chameleon.
Imagine Boy George’s sweet voice with Idol’s rasp. It would make a lot of Mony Mony! So I say to both singers Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?
