 Likely because of the lyric "I'm a man without conviction," and the chorus, which includes the word "chameleon", "Karma Chameleon" has been used by several politicians in political adverts.In 2006, Britain's Labour Party used "Karma Chameleon" as the theme song for a series of political advertisements against Conservative Party leader David Cameron in the 2006 UK local Elections.The music video, directed by Peter Sinclair, was filmed at Desborough Island in Weybridge during the summer of 1983.
