In an interview about his hit song, Karma Chameleon, Boy George explained that he song is about "[T]he fear of standing up for one thing. It's about trying to suck up to everybody."

Oddly enough, I had my first opportunity to see a real live chameleon up close and personal yesterday. Completely by accident. Nevertheless, I was both impressed and interested by the little creature. And I tried as hard as I could to get it to change color, but it just wasn't going to indulge me at all. Just the opposite of a Karma Chameleon who won't stand up for one thing and is always sucking up to everybody...
