Insomniac Thought For Tonight

Chameleon Having trouble sleeping lately. Thought I'd start an intermittent blog series about the questions that keep me up at night.

For example, this question popped in my head tonight and would not let me rest.

What the hell is a Karma Chameleon?

Ponder amongst yourselves.  I bid you adieu.

What others have said

One that keeps me up more nights than not is "Do bees sleep?"

Karma Chameleon...I think I drove one of those back in high school: http://karmannghia.org/

Err, wait...that's not it.

Not sure.

But apparently they "come and go"

I believe it refers to someone whose karma is in a changeable state, depending on their surroundings.

Apparently the joke does not translate to Italian very well. :)

The above "Simon" is not me, but it's another Simon :-)
Anyway I didn't understand the joke, too :-)

Sorry about that Simo... I guess I should pay closer attention when making smart-ass comments. :)

I dunno if I am pondering more on what is a Karma Chameleon or how much Culture Club people actually listen to.

Check this out:

Begin -->
The pinnacle of their popularity came when they claimed the biggest selling single of the year with 'Karma Chameleon', a song written, as were most of their songs (except the one that went "War, war is stupid" which was about war being stupid) about Culture Club's drummer with whom 'Boy' was having a secret affair.

Once you know that, the lyric "Karma Chameleon, you come and go" takes on a whole new meaning.
<-- End
