This is a great song. I was always a Men at Work fan. I just learned it on guitar and it's a fun song to play. Great chord progression, melody, and lyrics.

Good stuff. Despite really liking Men at Work, I’d never heard this.

Men At Work, along with Tears For Fears, is one of those bands in the 80s that I liked but didn't pay all that much attention to, but now think of as one of the top bands from that decade.

Their music has held up incredibly well. Overkill, Who Can It Be Now, and It's a Mistake are 3 songs that I can't see ever getting tired of hearing.

Definitely. Down by the Sea is another one too.

Was that also the title of the documentary about him? I saw it awhile back on amazon or Netflix, but forgot the title.

Go see him if he is ever playing nearby. He puts on a fantastic show. Just him and a guitar. In addition to great songs he will have you laughing all night long with his stories.

Colin Hay's Man @ Work album is a really good greatest hits of sorts with acoustic versions of Overkill, Land Down Under, and Who Can it Be Now, along with alternate mixes of several other songs.
