Blurb:
"Karma Chameleon" is a song from British band Culture Club. The song spent three weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1984, becoming the group's biggest hit and only U.S. number-one. The song hit number one in sixteen countries worldwide. In their home country the single became Culture Club's second song to top the UK singles chart, staying there for six weeks. The single came from 1983's Colour by Numbers album.
The Karma Chameleon music video is set in Mississippi in 1870, according to caption. It depicts people in colourful costume, including dancers in "red, gold and green", waiting on a riverbank. Boy George is dressed in even more colourful and flamboyant costume and is depicted singing the title song. A pickpocket is seen wandering through the crowd. A riverboat, The Chameleon, arrives and people board. A game of cards takes place, with Boy George still singing in the background. The pickpocket is discovered cheating and is thrown off the back of the boat. Throughout the video, black and white people are depicted singing and dancing together, a rather unlikely scenario at the time and place where the video is supposed to be set.
Apologies that the picture quality isn't great, but the audio is fine.

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If i listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green
Didn't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet i heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go you're gone forever
You string along
You string along
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green
Every day is like survival
You're my lover not my rival
Every day is like survival
You're my lover not my rival
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradication
You come and go
You come and go
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green (repeat and fade to end)
