1983 single by Culture Club
"Church of the Poison Mind " is a 1983 hit single by the British new wave band Culture Club . It was released as the lead single from their second, and most successful, album Colour by Numbers United Kingdom , being kept out of the top spot by David Bowie 's "Let's Dance ".[1] Canada and the United States . In America, it was still climbing the charts when "Karma Chameleon " was released as a single. This prompted Epic Records to release "Karma" ahead of schedule. "Church of the Poison Mind" actually reached its peak position the same week "Karma Chameleon" debuted on the US charts. In many countries its B-side was the heavily percussive street song "Man Shake" and in some others, such as the United States, it was the song "Mystery Boy". Both songs were on the 12-inch single in many countries, except Canada, where it was issued with an extended version of previous hit "I'll Tumble 4 Ya ".
Background [ edit ]
Helen Terry sang backing vocals on the song.[2] AllMusic critic Stewart Mason stated that her "fiery performance of the chorus is a pop-song masterstroke."[3] [2] Holland–Dozier–Holland for Motown in the 1960s.[3] NME [4] Billboard [5] Rolling Stone Bob Dylan , when asked if he belonged to any church, joked that he adhered to the "Church of the Poison Mind".[6]
