<p>In an interview, Culture Club frontman <a href="Boy_George" title="Boy George">Boy George</a> 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."<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In response to claims from singer-songwriter <a href="Jimmy_Jones_(singer)" title="Jimmy Jones (singer)">Jimmy Jones</a> that the song plagiarizes his hit "<a href="Handy_Man_(song)" title="Handy Man (song)">Handy Man</a>", George stated: "I might have heard it once, but it certainly wasn't something I sat down and said, 'Yeah, I want to copy this.'"<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In an interview with <i>60 Minutes Australia</i>, Boy George said that he wrote the song while he was on vacation in Egypt, and that the other members of Culture Club were initially hesitant to record it as they felt it sounded like a <a href="Country_music" title="Country music">country</a> song.<sup id="cite_ref-youtube.com_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-youtube.com-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The title of the song seems to have been changed because, in interviews in mid-1983, the group said their next single was to be "Cameo Chameleon".<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="Harmonica" title="Harmonica">harmonica</a> part was played by <a href="Judd_Lander" title="Judd Lander">Judd Lander</a>, who had been a member of <a href="Beat_music" title="Beat music">Merseybeat</a> group <a href="The_Hideaways_(band)" title="The Hideaways (band)">The Hideaways</a> in the 1960s.

<p>The group performed the song as a finale when they appeared in the 1986 episode "Cowboy George" of <i><a href="The_A-Team" title="The A-Team">The A-Team</a></i>. Likely because of the line "I'm a man without conviction" and the chorus, which includes the word <i><a href="Chameleon" title="Chameleon">chameleon</a></i>, "Karma Chameleon" has been used by several politicians in political adverts. In 2006, Britain's <a href="Labour_Party_(UK)" title="Labour Party (UK)">Labour Party</a> used "Karma Chameleon" as the theme song for a <a href="Dave_the_Chameleon" title="Dave the Chameleon">series of political advertisements</a> against <a href="Conservative_Party_(UK)" title="Conservative Party (UK)">Conservative Party</a> leader <a href="David_Cameron" title="David Cameron">David Cameron</a> in the <a href="2006_United_Kingdom_local_elections" title="2006 United Kingdom local elections">2006 UK local elections</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The song also appears in the fictional radio station The Mix 107.77 for the game <i><a href="Saints_Row_2" title="Saints Row 2">Saints Row 2</a></i>.

<p>The music video, directed by Peter Sinclair,<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> was filmed at <a href="Desborough_Island" title="Desborough Island">Desborough Island</a> in <a href="Weybridge" title="Weybridge">Weybridge</a> during 1983.

It depicts a large multiracial group of people in 19th-century dress, including some dressed in red, gold, and green (as referenced in the lyrics). Boy George is dressed in what would be known as his <a href="Trademark_look" title="Trademark look">signature look</a>: colourful costume, fingerless gloves, long braids, and a black bowler hat.
</p><p>A pickpocket and jewellery thief is seen wandering through the crowd, stealing from unsuspecting victims.

While four men are playing <a href="Poker" title="Poker">poker</a>, the thief is discovered cheating by giving himself a <a href="List_of_poker_hands" title="List of poker hands">royal flush</a>, and is forced to return all his ill-gotten gains and <a href="Walking_the_plank" title="Walking the plank">walk the plank</a> at the points of ladies' parasols, falling into the river.
