Originally posted July 7, 2014
“I’ll Tumble 4 Ya!” was a hit single from Culture Club’s Platinum-plus debut album Kissing to Be Clever.
The single was released only in North America, peaking at #9 in both the U.S. and #5 in Canada. In Australia, it was released in September 1983 as a Double A-side single with Karma Chameleon, peaking at #1 and receiving substantial airplay. With this single, in America, Culture Club was the first band to have three Top 10 singles from a debut album since The Beatles. Much like the group’s two prior American hits, this song was aided by a hugely popular MTV music video.
++ Of note this remix of “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya!” was omitted from the recent Japan Deluxe Re-issue of “Kissing To Be Clever”.
