"Do You Really Want To Hurt Me"
was released on September 6, 1982 as the third lift-off from
the bands debut album Kissing To Be Clever (1982). The
fantastic reggae tune rose rapidly in the charts after the
group's first appearance on the British TV show Top Of The
Pops, which resulted in band leader Boy George's androgynous
style of dress and sexual ambiguity making newspaper
headlines. In 2007, Boy George said that the song was "not
just about Culture Club's drummer Jon Moss, my boyfriend at
the time. It was about all the guys i dated at that time in
my life." "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" went to the summit
in United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, Australia,
Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, and Ireland. |
