From the BBC website comes an intriguing piece of news:
Re-formed 1980s band Culture Club feature among a line-up of concerts with the BBC Philharmonic designed to broaden the appeal of orchestral music.I can't wait to hear this!
[The band], who announced their comeback earlier this year, will revisit their acclaimed 1983 album Colour by Numbers accompanied by the 90-strong BBC Philharmonic.
The record featured their chart-topping hit Karma Chameleon and songs Church of the Poisoned Mind and It's a Miracle.
One song in particular - my favourite of the whole album - should be an absolute treat:

Yep, that's my favourite too, I wasn't much taken with the rest of their music though, I find Karma Chameleon really annoying.

"Karma Chameleon" is one of those songs I never need to hear again. The most annoying of all their back catalogue, however, was "War Song" - drove me utterly bats even when it was first released! Jx
Same here!
Frankie Goes To Hollywood had Two Tribes, which was brilliant, and then I thought Culture Club tried to jump on the band wagon with that silly War Song.

"War is stupid
and people are stupid
And I heard them banging
on hearts and fingers."
Inciteful lyrics. Not.

The tune was only a couple of notes short of a nursery rhyme as well.

Sounds interesting! And yes, "Victims" remains a masterpiece and absolutely the best thing they ever recorded.
"Like a ghost in my dream..."

Indeed. Jx
