What key is the harmonica of this song in?
-thanks
Mild US bias
Song by a British band that reached number 1 in both UK and US... so why does the lead mention the US first? Not serious enough for me to bother to change, but I do think that in general songs with an equal(ish) degree of success in a band's home country and another should mention the home country first, unless there's a very important reason otherwise. 86.132.138.201 00:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Red Gold Green
The colors of most of the flags of Africa and representative of African freedom from colonization. Perhaps the message went well with the 1870s setting. --208.254.174.148 22:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Succession box
The succession box is needed for people who are browsing through all of the #1 hits for their country for 1984. It was removed in this edit; I have restored it. Samboy (talk) 00:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- To address the concerns raised when deleting the entire box, I’ve removed most of the countries where it hit #1, leaving only the US, UK, and the fact it was #1 in UK for all of 1983. Yeah, I wasn’t wild about the song either but it did hit #1 and I don’t like seeing the succession box chain broken. Samboy (talk) 02:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Kama or Karma?
Kama (sanskrit काम ) means lust or sex (or sometimes love) - it is the equivalent of Cupid in Indian mythology. Karma (sanskrit कर्म ) means action and typically in the west means fate. Clearly Boy George is a Kama Chameleon not a Karma Chameleon - Karma Chameleon makes no sense - boy George's sexual ambiguity makes it very clear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.78.240.73 (talk) 13:21, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
