"Karma Chameleon" is a song from British band Culture Club. The song spent three weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in early 1984, becoming the group's biggest hit and only U.S. number-one. In their home country the single became Culture Club's second song to top the UK singles chart, staying there for six weeks. The single came from 1983's Colour by Numbers album.

Title parodies

A parody of the title was used as a Dragonball chapter title "Kame Kame Kame Kame Kame Chameleon" regarding the kamehameha attack.
Darkwing Duck also parodied the title with an episode titled "Calm a Chameleon"
Jack Johnson's song "Mud football" features the line "Karma, karma, karma chameleon.."
"Karma Chameleon" was also the title of the thrid episode of the TV Series Wonderfalls
The game Kingdom of Loathing has a familiar called the Comma Chameleon.

Many of those paradies were given names based on misheard lyrics of the song, as the word "Karma" is repeated quickly in the chorus.
