Man shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake

I've got this nasty camera
One snap it stole my soul
If you're left feeling lonely
One is the place to go

Now I never bothered
With things I cannot see
And now I've heard the drum track
You're just a basic enemy

Man shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake

I've told you out there, up there
A promise you can't see
But with your devil camera
You take your chance with me

Now we're passing strangers
Who knows what we'll be
Tried to re-arrange us
Who would shake your effigy

Man shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake

Culture Club is a New Wave / Pop Band from London England who are known for a string of pop hits during the 1980s. Their second album, Colour By Numbers, sold more than 10 million albums, was ranked the 96th best album of the 1980s by Rolling Stone, and contained their most famous song Karma Chameleon.

Formed in 1981 by lead singer Boy George, bassist Mikey Craig, drummer Jon Moss and guitarist Roy Hay, Culture Club was named after the diversity in ethnicity and backgrounds of it’s members. They were soon after signed to Virgin records, but it wouldn’t be until the press realized Boy George’s androgynous style, before Culture Club would take off as pop hit masters.

Culture Club sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, and had international success with songs such as “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?”, “Time (Clock of the Heart)” and “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya”.
