As I child I would've gone for "War Song", but through time I love the drum/bassline of "I'll Tumble 4 Ya"... which got my vote!

Do You Really Want to Hurt Me

If I had to pick just one.  I really love the reggae-soul sound.

I went with Do You Really Want to Hurt Me as well. I've always liked that one.
I'll admit those, when I was a kid, and Boy George would sing the refrain, I'd always answer "yes"

Krama Kamelon was always a favourite of mine.  Filmed in the River Thames acording to Pop-Up Video.

'Time'...a nice pop song and a worthy follow up to their first big hit...

Sadly, a limited shelf-life for this mob and anything from their 2nd LP onwards is stiflingly dull...

Victims is really underrated, IMHO - so it gets my vote.

I am surprised their comeback didn't go over in the Netherlands.

I am from England and I have that song. I don't hate it, but thought it was quite a weak entry for Culture Club to be honest. I can't be sure whether the UK missed out on anything with that one.

I went for The War Song. From what I understand, Boy George didn't particularly like this song though I actually thought it was good.

"Boy George once joked about the song: "It ruined my career", mentioning often that he is not proud of this song. It has also been excluded from some music compilations of the band, while remaining a firm fan favourite. The song has never been performed live by Culture Club since 1985 and has never been performed live by Boy George as a solo artist."

I would probably have to say Do You Really Want to Hurt Me would be my favorite.
