"Miss Me Blind" is a song by new wave band Culture Club. In the U.S. it was the third single released from ''Colour by Numbers'', peaking at #5 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1984.〔Whitburn, Joel (2010). ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 9th Edition (Billboard Publications)〕 This gave the band its sixth consecutive Top 10 hit. The single was also released in Canada (where it also reached number 5), Brazil, Australia and Japan. It was also the band's biggest R&B hit, reaching #5 on ''Billboard''s 'Soul' chart. The song includes a reference to the title of Culture Club's previous album. Lead singer Boy George states in the song "But you know, I'm never really sure, If you're just kissing to be clever", the name of Culture Club's debut album. In most countries (like Japan, Canada and US), its B-Side was the ballad "Colour by Numbers". In Mexico, the B-Side was "Victims". In Brazil, the B-Side was "Boy Boy (I'm The Boy)". A very popular 12" was issued, gaining big success in American clubs and elsewhere. The popular extended 12" version contained extracts of the other Culture Club hit of the spring, "It's a Miracle". In the US, the "Miss Me Blind" / "It's a Miracle" 12" single reached #10 on the ''Billboard'' Hot Dance Club Play chart in May 1984.〔Whitburn, Joel (2004). ''Hot Dance/Disco 1974-2003'', (Record Research Inc.)〕 The official music video features Boy George and the rest of the Culture Club members, and it takes place in Japan, and ends with a girl and a man yelling and trying to blow out a fire. The music video was directed by Steve Barron. Backing vocals on "Miss Me Blind" were performed by R&B singer Jermaine Stewart.〔 Dance-Pop group El Simbolo recorded a Spanish-language cover of the song for their 1999 album "No Pares". A remix of "Miss Me Blind" by DJs David Guetta and Joachim Garraud was included on Guetta's 2005 compilation album ''Fuck Me I'm Famous, Vol. 2''. ==Track listing== A. Miss Me Blind B.
