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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
