Karma Chameleon

“Karma Chameleon” is a song by British New Wave band Culture Club.
Culture Club frontman Boy George explained: “The song is about the terrible fear of alienation that people have, the fear of standing up for one thing. It’s about trying to suck up to everybody. Basically, if you aren’t true, if you don’t act like you feel, then you get Karma-justice, that’s nature’s way of paying you back.”
Likely because of the lyric “I’m a man without conviction,” and the chorus, which repeats the word “chameleon,” “Karma Chameleon” has been used by several politicians in political ads. In 2006, Britain’s Labour Party used “Karma Chameleon” as the theme song for a series of political advertisements against Conservative party leader David Cameron in the 2006 UK Elections.[4] Also, during the 2010 U.S. senate race in Pennsylvania, Republican Pat Toomey used the song as backing music for his video “Happy Anniversary Arlen Specter!” as a way to criticize a sitting Senator from Pennsylvania and recently-turned Democrat Arlen Specter.
In contemporary times, politicians are also dancing to the tune of “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club to hoodwink the gullible voters.
