My favourite Boy...


I haven't heard a peep out of him for ages... probably because he's doing his Singer/DJ duties Down Under. There seems to be some kind of media black hole down there...

'Time Machine' didn't bloody do anything. No radio play same as fucking ever... gorgeous though it is. And there's been not a jot on YouTube for over a month! So, instead, here are 4 songs which will help alleviate the pangs until he comes back...

Il Adore - Boy George (mp3 Download)

From the plaintive strings to the bitter sweet lyrics: "Laughing screaming, tumbling queen / Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen / Whirling swirling never blue / How could you go and die, what a lonely thing to do" this is George writing about Leigh Bowery. Featured on his album Cheapness and Beauty and as a show-stopper in Taboo it's George at his very best creatively.

If I Could Fly - Boy George (mp3 Download)

A little naughty giggle at the beginning but the cello sets the real tone for this song. Another Cheapness and Beauty song, this one is about overcoming heroin addiction. Happy subject I know but such a beautiful tune...

Mr Strange - Boy George (mp3 Download)

From the album of unreleased tracks on The Unrecoupable One Man Bandit.
All about Steve Strange. George was bitterly jealous about Steve scoring a number one single first with Fade to Grey. This is a kind of apology by George for being so nasty in the past... and then he takes it all back. Bitch! hahaha!

Stranger In This World - Euan Morton (mp3 Download)
Playing the Boy himself, Euan not only looks like him but sounds like him in this song from Taboo. Gayers, get ya hankies out. It's a teary coming-out special.
