Do You Really Want to Hurt Me
Culture Club’s 1982 recording of “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” is the earliest release on file. Boy George, Mikey Craig, Roy Hay and Jon Moss of Culture Club are credited as its writers. Also recorded by Violent Femmes (released 1991), Melanie (released 2002) and Rita Coolidge (released 1983), among 107 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Rita Coolidge recorded it in 1983, the same year as the Culture Club recording I have on file, so the song was out in the world almost as soon as the band put it there. Play hers after theirs and listen for what the song keeps once Boy George steps away from the mic.
Credited writers: Boy George, Mikey Craig, Roy Hay and Jon Moss.
