The lyric from Culture Club’s “Karma Chameleon” ends with “dream.”
“ Karma Chameleon” was written by Culture Club members Boy George, Roy Hay, Mikey Craig, and Jon Moss, with producer Steve Levine also credited. The song was released in 1983 on the album Colour by Numbers.
It became Culture Club’s biggest international hit and reached number one in several countries, including the United Kingdom and United States. Its reggae-influenced pop arrangement and memorable chorus gave the band a distinctive place in early-1980s pop.
The song’s color imagery is often interpreted as a metaphor for inconsistency or changing behavior in a relationship. The title combines the ideas of karma and a chameleon, suggesting that actions and shifting identities have consequences.
