Hair, makeup, and gender-bending fashions aside, what singer/songwriter Boy George does well is pen a prime pop tune. I'm thinking about excellent, top-charting '80s singles such as "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me," "Time (Clock of the Heart)," "I'll Tumble 4 Ya," "Church of the Poison Mind," "Karma Chameleon," "Miss Me Blind," "It's a Miracle," and "The War Song."
