    My son John passed away at the start of 2020, aged 37. This song reminds me of him and some of his life. We sometimes called him Johnny, which he liked.

      Who misses the 80’s because you didn’t have the most efficient form of communication in human history back then? The only things you should miss from the 80s are David Byrne, Men At Work, and cocaine.

      I really miss the 1880s you kids nowadays will never know what it's like to have no indoor plumbing. Things were so much better back then because of that. Also I prefered the music . So therefore 1880s is superior to nowadays. That's how silly you sound

    Men at work are one of the best bands to come out of Australia. Underrated and brings back a lot of good memories for me. If snowflakes don’t like it stiff sht,no one’s forcing you to listen are they. Colin hay is a multitalented musician,better than the garbage plastic music that’s being made on a computer these days.

    LYRICS
    Skip de skip, up the road
    Off to school we go
    "Don't you be a bad boy Johnny
    Don't you slip up
    Or play the fool"
    "Oh no Ma, Oh no Da,
    I'll be your golden boy
    I will obey ev'ry golden rule"
    Get told by the teacher
    Not to day-dream
    Told by my mother:
    Be good Be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good be good be good be good (Johnny)
    Be good be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good (Johnny)
    Be good be good.
    "Are you going to play football this year, John?"
    "No!"
    "Oh, well you must be going to play cricket this year then,
    Are you Johnny?"
    "No! no! no!"
    "Boy, you sure are a funny kid, Johnny, but I like you! So tell me,
    What kind of a boy are you, John?"
    I only like dreaming
    All the day long
    Where no one is screaming
    Be good be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good be good be good be good (Johnny)
    Be good be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good be good be good
    Be good be good be good

      That's exactly my take on the song.I think most people don't get how serious it is because it's so lighthearted,but if you listen to the lyrics and watch the part of the video with Colin as the father kicking the ball against the wall and grabbing Johnny's arm, you gather that he was an abused kid and that explains his seemingly bratty behavior in the beginning of the vid.Good call!

    God I loved these guys back in the early 80s. Their songs were great, and their videos were creative and full of iconic moments, including in this one where they all come out in matching tuxedos at 2:34 and of course when Colin starts doing that dancing at 2:49. I saw those shots on a bunch of MTV commercials, along with the lazy eye closeups on "Who Can It be Now?" Just a great band!

    Colin Hay is such a gas lol. Getting some aerobics time in, multitasking. 👍😉 Thats how u do a music video, 'new ppl' (aka the young whippersnappers).😄
    That free, high energy, fun but, somehow, still cool way of moving. Kind of reminds me of David Lee Roth's high energy, playful moves back then.
    Always loved the way that Hay ends this song. I tried, but I never could personally replicate it > I have no range at all. 😖🤷‍♀️✌

I feel the song didn't receive enough airplay. 😭 I don't know why so many people say Men At Work were underrated. They had like 2 or 3 #1 songs in the early '80's. Down Under went to #1 in the Spring of 1983!!
