      Oh my gosh, this happened to me, I had a mother in law suite on my house, the pastor of my church gave me a sob story about this old couple whose house burned down and they were homeless, so I let them move in, I figured out that they were drug dealers when all of these people day and night were in my driveway, their house burned down because they were cooking METH, And my pastor knew it!! I told them I was going to call the police if they didn't leave, they laughed at me and told me the police were their suppliers, I moved out, across the state.

      I recommend reacting to the Men at Work version of Overkill. But if you want a laugh after the fact, check out the Colin Hay (lead singer) solo versions of it. There are quite a few of them, and in many of them Colin tells stories about his experiences. They are hilarious! In these videos, you realize what a pure entertainer he is. He's quite an accomplished guitarist as well.

Please also check out their songs It’s a Mistake, Still Life, Underground, Maria, Be Good Johnny, and Overkill. If you ever buy one of their CDs get their Contraband CD which is a greatest hits album and the way it’s mixed and produced the music explodes through the speakers/headphones (in a good way).

    Men At Work always had some of the most entertaining videos in the heyday of MTV, and their songs were always kinda funny and off-the-cuff, not to be taken too seriously. Colin Hay made great use of his naturally buggy eyes to perfectly express the comical paranoia of the song.

      @@RenzoM2811 Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

He talked A LOT to the audience making jokes, he could see one of the girls in the front was smiling at the sax player, and he was saying, " You really like him don't you? I can tell, to you want to meet him?". It was a GREAT fun concert.

    Hi Jayvee it’s really good that you’ve listening to Australian music but no one has looked into Australian band Goanna singing Solid Rock. An old song but so relevant today. Unfortunately us Australians didn’t listen

    The acoustic version of this song is awesome and has a very different vibe to it!

    Hi Jayvee, glad you like the song. It's one of my favourite MAW tunes and was a catchy song back in the day going No.1 in many countries. I played drums on that song and your excitement and appreciation of the song inspired me to comment. Thanks!!

    A huge album for them. Their first. And then by the second album they imploded very quickly.

      They should have done TONS more music. One of the coolest bands of the 80s.

    Gees mate use to see men at work at the cricketers arms (pub) in east melbourne in the early 80's, always a fun night.

    I think you would appreciate Crowded House too, another great Aussie band. Their song Don't Dream it's Over is awesome ❤️

      Don't Dream It's Over is in the 1997 Australian movie Cosi (which also has Colin in it!!!!! Yay!)
      Personally, i think this is by far the best version by Toni Colette

    I love how fun this song is! I'm sure you'll get other requests for a reaction to their 'Down Under' (considered by many to be the Australian National Anthem, it's not) so, once you've it, here's Collin Hay (Lead Singer and guitarist for Men at Work (you just heard him here) just a couple years ago (so, much older). He talks a bit first, but it's nearly as entertaining as the version of his song (and hit for Men at Work) 'Down Under' th-cam.com/video/XpdUTtt-npI/w-d-xo.html I'm certain you'll like it!

    Overkill, Be Good Johnny are two of my favorite by Men at Work.

    The band Men at Work are like the Australian version of the UK band the Police. The lead singer has a similar voice to Sting the lead singer of the Police.
