Boy George & Culture ClubJokes:
News Headline: Boy George's Reptile Bites Six People in One Day He obviously needs a calmer chameleon! Submitted by: Robert D. Arndt Jr.

Band Name Origins:
- Boy George and Jon Moss say they came up with the name at random while brainstorming whatever dumb names popped into their head. It seemed to fit because they were a mix of cultures: a black man, a Jew, an Irish drag queen and a big old blonde Anglo-Saxon. However, the name might not be quite that random: English grammar school boys of George et al's vintage were required to choose a club (e.g., the Chess Club, the Photography Club, etc.) to join for a class period or two per week--- and the "Culture Club" traditionally attracted a disproportionate number of gay kids.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Church Of The Poison Mind"
The Lyrics: Watch me clingling to the beat
I had to fight to make it mine That religion you could sink in neat Just move your feet an' you'll feel fine Why: It's a song about a guy who falls for a person who is a member of a cult. Yet the music is so joyful that you couldn't tell this song from a Black Gospel hymn.
