Hare Krishna Song Download UPDATED
Tiziano Savard
"Bow Down Mister" is a song written by English singer Boy George, under the pseudonym "Angela Dust", and recorded by his first musical group following his departure from Culture Club, Jesus Loves You. Inspired by a trip George took to India, the song is a tribute to the Hare Krishna movement and incorporates the Hare Krishna mantra. Indian singer Asha Bhosle performs the female vocals on the song but is uncredited on the single release.
"Bow Down Mister" was released on 11 February 1991 as the fourth single from the project's only studio album, The Martyr Mantras (1991). It reached number 27 on the UK Singles Chart and became a bigger hit in several mainland European countries, especially in Austria and Germany, where the song reached the top 10.
Boy George wrote "Bow Down Mister" shortly after taking a trip to India.[3] George was intrigued that the song was perceived as radical to the public, as this was not his intention; however, he went on to explain, "That is unless you consider a song that encourages love instead of hate as being radical. I am continually amazed at how, with all of the knowledge we have as humans, we continue to be so small-minded."[4] The track was written as an ode to the Hare Krishna movement,[2] a Hindu religious organisation whose members dedicate their thoughts and actions to the Hindu deity Krishna, and the song recites the Hare Krishna mantra several times during the bridge.[5] Indian playback singer Asha Bhosle is featured as the female vocalist on the recording.[6] During an interview, Bhosle stated that "Bow Down Mister" was the best song she had contributed to and that she continues to cherish it.[7]
Billboard writer Larry Flick called the song "thoroughly original and refreshing" and praised its "anthemic" melody but found the song "too offbeat" for UK hit radio.[2][4] In the same magazine, a review of the parent album called the homage "quirky".[8] AllMusic reviewer William Ruhlmann referred to "Bow Down Mister" as one of the "oddest" songs on The Martyr Mantras.[9] Alan Jones from Music Week named it Pick of the Week, writing, "Boy George's latest project is so bizarre it's not surprising that it takes a little time to reveal its full potency. But there's much to admire here, with some haunting Indian singing before the track resolves itself as a worthy dancefloor contender."[10] Chris Mellor from Record Mirror noted, "Indian dance music, hippy chic George Harrison style Hare Krishna chants mingle with beautiful sitars and Boy George's inimitable vocal style to create something quite stunning."[11] Another editor, Phil Cheeseman felt that it has "a terrible line [...] about Hindus knowing the score, not enormously subtle given the current flare-up of religious and caste violence in India."[12]
It can seem an odd choice to try and attack an otherwise wholly peaceful religion but there was something phoney about those picking up the practice in 1966 and beyond that upset the bespectacled Beatle. Like any good songwriter, he channelled his frustrations into a masterpiece of a track.
