boy george & culture club - victims

[wanob1]

Go boy Georgie baby I luv ya!

[dockermum]

Beautiful song sung with a beautiful voice. This is a song that will transcend all time

[lisiatew]

One of the best songs ever written and performed. George's voice is butter, rich and creamy lol

[yeovil50]

First timeI have heard this song for 30 years and immediattely it took me back to where I was when I heard it....sat on the bog listening to the Top 40 on my hand held mono wireless:)

[GripzNGatz]

God I loved the eighties. In a weird way, people were actually more open-minded

[MrUncletiny]

@GripzNGatz Have to agree with you there, so many great songs and movies came out of the 80"s. best decade yet!!!!! :-)

[nubianqueenxx]

Love this song

[smobbert]

They don't make songs like this anymore. Fantastic song!

[TheRuthy174]

They dont make music like this nowadays - God the 80's were good!!!

[317cod]

This takes me back to when I was about 18 many christmasses ago .... good times xx

[TheHerbstr]

this song saved my life it brought me back from the brink of death what a song

[lucyk29]

I remember listening to this song at 4 years old back in 1983. It made my cry every time my parents put it on and they had to stop playing it. Still makes me cry at 32!

[bobrd2009]

i grew up with culture club. one of my all time favorites. boy george was great. it's his pain that you feel in his songs. i love him

[seafisherman80]

best times of our lifes around then

[lt673914]

Beautiful song. I am almost in tears. Because this song hits it on the money about being hurt.

[MissInformed1967]

I loved Culture Club but this song always stayed with me more than the rest for some reason.. hauntingly beautiful. They don't make 'em like they used to. Thank you : )

[1994ALove]

I just found out that the reason George and Jon broke up was that Jon was cheating on him. I never thought that was why.

[SweetDreams1430]

@1994ALove

really, mother fucker jon, destroyed george's life and music carrer by doing that, he let him lost him mind and went crazy and took drugs, and destroy his lovely somooth voice and inocent personality, if he didn'd do that george would be much bigger and bigger. if you are going to cheat in him why pretend loving him from the start.

[1994ALove]

@SweetDreams1430 you have to see it from Jon's POV. He was Jewish, engaged to a woman, then all of a sudden, he dumps her to be with George. From what my mom has said, I think he didn't know how to handle being with another man. Yeah, I'm pissed that he cheated, but I kinda get it.

[SweetDreams1430]

@1994ALove

frist time i knwo he was engaged to a woman before he knows boy george!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did george know that jon moss was engaged when he fall in love with moss?

[1994ALove]

@SweetDreams1430 as far as I know, yes.

[scarlettedejong]

One hell of a masterpiece. Stillness in time, thanks so much Boy George and co x

[datoobster75]

One of the most beautiful and melodic songs ever written. This song from Culture Club is well up there with 'Time (Clock Of The Heart)' in terms of melody and structure. Also 'Karma Chameleon' is a very great song.

[MultiMusicaddiction]

phantastic song

[hohohoho1010]

It is a very very beautiful song and i LOVE this song so much over 25 years. All my hairs were stood up when i heart this song everytime.

[KASSGIRL1]

I had forgotten this song or hid it away in my memory!! So great that i can't keep it hiden any more...

[SylviaLovesMJ1996]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this song! It's so beautiful! I got it for my iPod and when I heard the entire song I just had to watch the video. It's such a shame they don't make great songs and videos anymore! And your hearing this from a 14 year old. :)

[70sRob]

@SylviaLovesMJ1996 - this is music sung and composed by a very talented man.

[SylviaLovesMJ1996]

@70sRob I totally agree with you! Big fan of George and Culture Club.

[HotSheriff]

Good songs will live forever, don't be afraid to show what you really like, don't let the peer pressure dictate what you have to listen to.

"Pull the strings of emotion Take a ride into unknown pleasure Feel like a child

 On a dark night Wishing there was some kind of heaven".

There will be one...be alive!

[rudyprotrudy08]

@HotSheriff Yeh, what he just said.

[paully1969]

love this and you of course Geaorge x

[wonder111000]

I luv luv this song one of my favorites from culture club, always touches my heart when I hear it

[autodafeh242]

OMG i think i have to cry again (everytime i listen to this track) Tragic Timeless...:-( snif......

[grjobber]

Gotta be my all time favorite song.And George is just out of this world in the video...

[holden1791]

i like this song because he has lovely voice

[Priscysupply]

Pero tu estás siempre allí como un fantasma en mi sueño y yo sigo diciéndote por favor no hagas las cosas que haces

cuando haces esas cosas jalas mis cuerdas de títere..

[AMERICA19661]

Fabulous song~very sensual

Still makes me get goosebumps after all these years

Their best !

[lorddakota]

And I keep on telling you, please don't do the things you do. When you do those things, pull my puppet strings, I have the strangest void for you.

Wow!! What a sensation! One of the best ballads ever.

[OrianthiMJfan]

besides do you really want to hurt me<3

[OrianthiMJfan]

my favorite song by culture club

[doyoureally95]

'Push aside those that wisper never' -- remember that and you can accomplish almost anything you want.

[ladyclyro11]

gorgeous song

[willewinky]

One of the greatest tunes ever written.

[kimmyslookin]

GREAT SONG,I JUST LUV THIS ONE

[hibeegirl17]

but i keep on loving you its the only thing to do....and i will keep on loving you...cause it is the only thing to do xx

[hibeegirl17]

we love and we never tell what places our hearts in a wishing well.............

[larebare01]

the victims, we know them, so well. . .

[KorovaMilkBarbie]

The ebsence of magic early '80s.

[lemonnis]

HIS VOICE IS NOT GOOD ANYMORE, ACTUALLY BOY GEORGE WITHOUT JON MOSS AND THE REST OF CULTURE CLUB IS CLOSE TO ZERO

[MsSmartiepants2]

@lemonnis I agree 100%

[1994ALove]

@lemonnis is not! Actually, George is better without them. If you want proof, look up "Same Thing in Reverse."

[lemonnis]

@1994ALove

the biggest and the best hits he had were all with culture club, it was also the music and the arrangements of the band which were very good. and it gets on my nerves that boy george always behave as if the success came only due to his voice and 'talent'

[1994ALove]

@lemonnis he doesn't act like that at all. He is respectful of the band.

[ccroup]

Absolute tune..............sung to perfection also

[11delidana]

Definitely their best song - it still makes all the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end!

[Shayneofcov]

@11delidana this is theeeeeeeeee song, brings back memories, mostly good!

[antonyfamous]

@11delidana true very true do you see what love can do to a person

[kangfesher]

@11delidana agreed :)

[Budgie427]

Roy Hay wrote this song. It's such a pity George didn't let Roy write more. A great song.

[MsSmartiepants2]

@Budgie427 George never gave Roy credit. George is jealous of anyone with talent.

[KiCreativeStudio]

I'm no Boy George fan but this is a good song AND a good video.

Wish I could see more of this these days....creativity and talent.

[adeleinoz]

This is such a beautiful track. Still fills me with the same emotions it did when I was just a kid! Loved Culture Club.

[bolabus]

not bad for a homo..

[radiotph]

geweldig

[Honigdrohne0221]

3:33 Alison Moyet????

[daveshirley]

@Honigdrohne0221 ....Helen Terry ;0)

[Honigdrohne0221]

@daveshirley Thx. 80s!!!!!!!!!!!

[rosaify1]

I don't believe that way because at that time little was known about aids

[garymacsweeney77]

prob the greatest love song ever.. xx love you george xxxxxxxxxxxx

[kyboinlex28]

This song was about him and Jon's secret affair! That's why he wrote this. Its also about peoplewho have died of aids and HIV.

[kyboinlex28]

This song was about him and Jon's secret affair! That's why he wrote this.

[1994ALove]

@kyboinlex28 almost all Culture Club's songs were about George and Jon. He admitted that.

[veeseee128]

still sounds good today.

[foxymj]

love the song! classic! not sure about what he looks like thou lol x

[MrLeerevill]

Heard it on the radio today, did'nt know what it was called though but just had to find it, its took me an hour.

Amazing track and love it when the drums come in.

And yes i'm straight and i still like boy george!

People who hate because of sexuality are sooo lacking spiritually, and maybe also hiding something in my opinion!!!

[konge1]

The best they ever did. Love this one.

[ch4guy4life]

Does anyone notice on the set for the video...there is something funny about the area above the swinging doors that George keeps backing through. What is on top of the area above the doors is of a completely different scale than the doors. Somehow this all got pasted together in the final editing, I guess. Does anyone know?

[LeeAmes]

All these old school tracks sound some much better now simply because the music today is so terrible.

Great track non the less.

[ch4guy4life]

Absolutely timeless, huge, EPIC. Boy George was sensational, to say the least. So underappreciated in his time. This sounds better to me in 2011 than it ever did in the 1980's. Some things simply get better with age. And even though the video is a little (LOT?) over the top, it's great to watch, nonetheless.

[djmsdDOTcom]

Simply Excellent!

[hibeegirl17]

the song means whatever you want it too...i know what it means to me xxxx

[Anskapontsu]

I mean i understand it but im not sure though...

[Anskapontsu]

Can you tell me what this song is about ? Its beautiful :)

[erasermusic]

This song just reminds us that we are in love. Thanks Culture Club. After so many years you still part of our life. Beautiful song.

[poi9990]

...è pura poesia!!! Grazie!!!

[MegaRapture]

for the losers coming on here to dis gay peeps GO FUCK YOURSELVES

[hibeegirl17]

the victims single came with a poster folded into it..my brother bought it for me at christmas many moons ago....george was in his dreadlocks in black and white and i filled them in with colour...........

[hibeegirl17]

pull these strings of emotion..take a ride into unknown pleasure...feel like a child on a dark night

[hibeegirl17]

and i keep on telling you please dont do the things you do!!!!!

[fullimmerzion]

Great song from Culture Club... and Boy George voice's an Heaven gift!!!!!

[pedro911212]

i bought the vinyl of this! great

[AMARS11663]

this is one of the favorites for me......i remeber when boy george sang in the san remo festival ........in 1984 or 85..idont remember..... the clothes are spectacular........

[odog65]

why are some songs labeled Boy George & Culture Club was it because he left the band and went solo but collabed with rest of the members

[123456789jklmn]

Still love this video and song. This is the time when I feel in love with Boy George and Culture Club. Still the memories are fresh in my head growing up with this amazing band. Thanks for sharing.

[TheMjb89]

Vh1 Storytellers / Greatest Hits [Live] The Culture Club Audio Cassette available brand new at Amazon

[willewinky]

When the love of my life left me for someone else, this song meant so much to me. Lost, alone and a victim to love. I've never forgotten her.

[serberious]

@willewinky Oh shit, I really know just what you mean. What is it about songs, they always seem to come along at the right ( or wrong ) time, It`s been 25 yrs and I still think of her......

[willewinky]

@serberious We must be old romantics then, both thinking of lost loves. Lets not try too deeply of life or politics, only about the person standing next to you on a particular day. Then as strangers passing each other, we can smile and not think it odd. Music is always the key to the heart!

[serberious]

@willewinky You`re a Poet at heart my friend, a Poet. Have a great Christmas and stay safe Man.

[willewinky]

@serberious Merry Christmas to you too Dude.

[nitrooxide9418]

the only flawless ballad of the 80s that i could sit through from start to end

[thaizinha421]

musica linda...linda a letra,demais!!!!!!!!

[jet07son]

1st song i learned on the piano!!

[JoseTwitterFan]

10 people thought to themselves that they were the victims of seeing this video.

[LadyMaryBoleyn]

I miss the eighties....

[SoEightiesItHurts]

@LadyMaryBoleyn Yep, I hear ya...

[38dannie]

Love this song so much... everytime i hear it i cry...

[MaidofKent1965]

"Love leads us into the stream and it's sink or swim, like it's always been." A sensitive and haunting ballad, beautifully sung and sadly underrated.

[l7ebels]

@MaidofKent1965 sadly underrated..? what difference does it make, the song wld still sound the same

[serberious]

@MaidofKent1965 Couldn`t agree more, you hit the Nail on the head!!!!.

[roboroschi]

A real masterpiece...

[rhondabeyonda]

Best CC song EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[TheIntruders]

Was there one Culture Club song that wasn't about how the drummer was hurting George. Even the up tempo songs have some gay drama turmoil.

[dm3588]

@TheIntruders Well, George *has* admitted that many of his songs were directly inspired by his relationship with Jon. That's what happens when you're a songwriter in love. And when your relationship is as turbulent as theirs was, some angst is bound to make it into the songs, even the joyful ones.

[gavinandstacy]

only the first time i heard it

[donsee1000]

a fantastic record and a great video,takes me back to my teenage years

[hargohargo]

george reminds me of oscar wilde in this video. i wonder did he write this about wilde and bosie? if not it would be a very appropriate tune considering what happend to oscar

[RoofLight00]

Powerful and underestimated, thats what this song is. Down the years it still sounds fresh today....

[gavinlh5767]

Think Godley and Cream directed this one, if someone's not already said?

[roboroschi]

The Culture Club's masterpiece...

[UandMeKid]

I never knew they did a video for this and it was my favorite song on the album! I appreciate it more now as an adult.

[gecortez76]

Linda canção. Concordo que deveria tocar mais nas rádios (de flashbacks, é claro).

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

Wow. That was an amazing song. I'd never heard it before ! 

[conchaperez]

A true and unique male Divo/a.....

[UKbiker08]

Mr George at his best...

[racrv]

Uma vez, li em algum lugar, uma entrevista com o Boy George onde ele dizia que o Culture Club tinha sido criado apenas para que ele e seu namorado (o guitarrista de olhos puxados) pudessem passar mais tempo juntos. Claro que a banda durou mais que o romance...

[racrv]

A mais linda de todas!!

[Scanpian]

Does anybody know where I can get the piano scores for this song? I have hunted high and low but can't find them - only the piano tabs, but that is no good I'm afraid.

[TheIlovelife1231]

I LOVE BOY GEORGE ALWAYS AND FOREVER :D XX

[otterboi26]

This and War song are by far my favs!!!! To bad he doesn't sing like this anymore :(

[HarperRFJ]

beautiful. George's voice is beautiful

[Romulan112]

When was this song recorded and put out there?

[geordiegirlnufc]

And love this one...His outfits are really cool.....WHERE IS BOY GEORGE NOW??Does he still sing??

[RVSNewark]

@geordiegirlnufc He's on Twitter actually. You'll find him.

[Pedrojop23]

que lindo tema, es espectacular esta canción.

[rhylmark]

pure class

[MystyMary]

brings back such wonderful, magical memories - this, and Time were my favourite CC songs, including the vids of them, which I used to rent from a local shop. I feel they're such hearts-strings-touching, warm and authentic songs - u don't get this sort of warmth, this sort of spiritual touch, from songs these days I don't think, which gives me a sense of something lost, but on the other hand, my memories of these are still strong and this brings them back even more. Thanks for sharing.

[47antony]

the best song they ever did and the one that never seems to be played on the radio

[rafaela19771]

@47antony sometimes they do! radio 80, italy! ciao dall'italia! raffaella

[geofosman]

@47antony I so agree, this really showed off Boy George's incredibly expressive voice.

[aj270303]

@47antony I agree...... Fantastic song...

[wishingonastar12]

@47antony seriously! totally agree.

[gabriela11for]

Boy George has an excellent voice,even though there are people who underestimate him for having being a member of culture club. This is a sample of his talent

[XxpauldadudexX]

WOW! At 2:20 this song sounds great! Ha,another culture club song I feel like crying to!Sniff,haha,cuz England footy team are CRAP AGAIN!

[craigcraigycrag]

@XxpauldadudexX lol

[lotemal10]

"but you allways their..like a ghoste in mt drem"

[madsey2003]

Great piano,Brilliant strings,Fantastic song

[MANMADEDISEASE]

when the drums come in awe the best

[NewWaver80014]

Happy Birthday George. I love you.



[marcusinmilw]

The best Culture Club song EVER!!!!!

[devonguy02]

a classic track still sounds better played on vinyl !!

[hibeegirl17]

I will always always love this song...it reminds me of living in london.....i loved those days..i had to be one of culture clubs biggest fans..loved george and john....victims came out around xmas time.........george i will always love u..i went to kidbrooke high, not far from eltham green lol

[RonTaboga]

Unforgettable music from the 80s. Awesome. You just don´t hear such quality these days!

[Nurhyme]

One of their finest for sure! Beautiful song!

[RoryNights]

This is a wonderful song and performance :)

Boy George has a great voice and this song has meaning.

Thanks for posting this gem SannieGirl5. 

[hibeegirl17]

this song has to be my fav culture club song...i had a 7 inch that came with a black and whiote poster that i coloured in....i was only 12.........i loved boy george and john moss..........god i loved them!!!!!!!!!

[TheOldschoollover]

Great song indeed!!

[AMARS11663]

i remenber one year, 1985 , i was hearing this song in the san remo contest. i was in shock when i saw boy george for the first time.after that, i started to love this group and this beautiful song

[sonov48ich68]

Superb track.

[mangajedigirl]

@guestieboy agree. i watched a show on the bbc iplayer. i feel sorry for boy george. wish i was there in the 80s. he was weird and gay at young. i think he flipped it. because he had a bad past about his friend that died on drugs after he got fired that night for stealing money. and men and a famous singer cheating or leaving him.

[farmer63980]

I liked culture club so much i bought there L P Twice, only because I left one on the bus.

[freacls]

wow Boy George has an awsome voice hes a lot better than a lot of todays singers i wish i had a time machine to go back to the 80s and get to know the band i missed the 80s wasen born

[1983flutterby]

Yes download it! Will be buying the entire A2A dvd's soon as!

[1983flutterby]

This song is fabulous. Played at the end of the recent Ashes to Ashes episode and the words say so much re the storyline. I've noticed that they do that a lot!

The show (A2A) is totally fantastic and I don't want it to end.

[guestieboy]

@1983flutterby

totally agree with u on both accounts just after watching on bbciplayer had to download, culture club not my best group but this song hmmm amazing

[alsdouble]

Pretty mutch a masterpice of a song, of the time. Bit forgotten I suppose.

[AaronUlm]

absolut perfekt made......great....love...peac­e....franky

[Burghbypass]

Had not this for ages too until Ashes to Ashes a couple of days ago. Classic!
