@@ganbatmunkhtur9048 a ridicolus claim that they copied the flute melody from some other tune. Now they cant play the song live using that melody. something like that
@@davidtm98 It was a ridiculous claim really - nobody knew that the 'Kookaburra' song was copyright, the woman who wrote it was long dead and the case was brought 28 years after 'Down Under' was released. Basically some shit of a lawyer got in touch with the company who owned the publishing rights and suggested they sue because they (and him of course) might make a lot of money. They tried to get 60% of the royalties on the song, but were awrded only 5% by the court - but that was still a lot as the song sold millions. I don't think it's true that they are not allowed to play the flute riff live - can't find any mention of that anywhere; whether they do or not, I've no idea.
@@davidtm98 The copy write holders of "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree" who weren't even born when that song was written sued the band for theft of intellectual property. The bastards didn't even get the point of the song. Why didn't vegemite sue them as well? There is a whole bunch of Aussie iconic motifs in the song and that riff was one of them and I'LL NEVER FORGIVE the pricks that lead to Greg Ham's death.
The US festival in California back in 1983 was a 3 day "who's who" of some of the greatest acts ever...I was lucky enough to see all three days and will never forget it.
My cockatiel (An Aussy) loses his mind when he hears Land Down Under. Sings, screams "men plunder! take cover!' dances, spins... definitely the best song ever sung according to Mr. BirdieBoy.
Ive been loving this song all my life ! Started singing and dancing it before I spoke English! It is my pre-teen time. Loved this song always. I think I am getting very emotional ... it's more than 40 years and still a fantastic song creating a very special feeling
Men at work is one my also favorite bands.even if they are from the land wonder the land down under Australia.when I first heard Down under the song reminds of a children t.v. show called the house of the clock in Madrid,Spain.sad that band broke up.my colondences to Greg Ham the keyboard and flute player.R.I.P. Greg.
@@paulogarcia7095 sim, teve overdose devido ao uso de drogas, aumentou o consumo depois da crise financeira que teve depois que acusaram a banda de plágio.
Went to a concert at Mud Island Amphitheater in the 80's in their prime. Great Show...…..small venue, and couldn't hear for 2 days after the show. Very heavy on the drums (loved it) Great show!!
Please note, I am no longer taking requests from this show. Not only do I not want to provoke the rights holders by uploading too much, but each upload also completely locks up my slow internet for several hours. Hopefully, an official release will happen some day...
I hope by "interesting" you mean "interesting to the public" or smth like that! Because c'mon we all have interesting relatives! Whether they're "celebrities" or not!!
Just saw them live a week ago, crazy how much of an influence they were at one point and how big the audience was. Made me sad to see how much less people were at the show last week
Cresci ouvindo ment at work amo muito esses vídeos. As músicas desses australianos e incrível,Cory (collin hay)hey até hj aí muito carisma é muito humor
como que no tienes oído..!!! terriblemente horrible canto mal, el de la flauta toco mal, que horrible presentación si así son todos los conciertos que fatal ..!!! que decepción tan grande.
40 Years old Masterpiece of Song, and still Timeless ... Thank you to all at "Men at Work", and now give me my fu***ng Sandwitch, because iam very hungry after so many years... 'own 'own oh there is cheese and beacon... mampf thx

Jah👉😳👍
400,000 for this fuzzy old thing? :P
@Luke Buckwalter Not quite there. ;)
Despite what people think, I think the 80s camera quality makes this and the music video better a thousand times more
I do dig the videcon tube cameras from back then. Especially the comet tails the lights make when the camera moves
Esses caras são muito bons a banda é muito especial MASSA
Oh! yes indeed, I even have to dim the volume, thbs up!
Yuupp
The vibe
YESSSSS
Please rise for the national anthem
Waltzing Matilda is our national anthem, not this song
Waltzing Matilda is the cultural anthem, down under is the spirit animal of all Australians
stop all police brutality and get rid of fatass trump and maybe people will finally rise..until then, I KNEEL

@@jenniferchan5982 This is what TDS looks like

His name is Greg Ham. He passed away due to a heart attack after the band was sued

The 52 people who disliked this video are just Australians trying to like the video
Ouchers. That hurts...
Nice stolen comment 🙄
I was going to say that!
hahaha
Lol
And no phones )))) Just pure happiness !!!!
I truly can’t believe how good they are live!
They fuckin rock man
too fast though, plague of many bands
Kerry King is another example
Greg Ham (Flute, Sax, Vocals and Keys) was probably the most underappreciated element of Men at Work.
I Love my Australian Mates 🇦🇺 greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 this song is a Classic and a Masterpiece!
Confirmo
Y no veo ninguna relación con Kookaburra de Sinclair del año 1935
I’m not even Aussie but this fills me with such patriotism I feel like I’ve lived there my whole life
I now sccept you as a fellow Australian ..Welcome mate!
You don’t understand the song
It’s the opposite of patriotism
The US festival in California back in 1983 was a 3 day "who's who" of some of the greatest acts ever...I was lucky enough to see all three days and will never forget it.
I still have my second day concert stub and a very tired tee shirt.
. puede subirla en video el talon
My mom used to sing this song to me when i was a kid. She said it was her favorite pop song during high school(80's)
One of the greatest songs which is why it's stood the test of time! A true classic. Colin Hay - what a performer! That kangaroo hop 🤣
Y q dice hadaway.
En q la cancion /q es el amor ..
Don't know why: but this song has always been my absolute no.1...and still is.....
My cockatiel (An Aussy) loses his mind when he hears Land Down Under. Sings, screams "men plunder! take cover!' dances, spins... definitely the best song ever sung according to Mr. BirdieBoy.
"Men at Work"❤ Aussie, 2024 still! They sound just as great in person/concert. Lead singer🌹and Flute player.. fantastico!...
Colin is a great frontman and talented wow
A million times better than the studio version. That speaks volumes on the talent of these folks. That flute though. Hats off.
All these years later, still love this song and still learning the words, lol.
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is how a frontman has fun!
absolutely love the crowd control and how he makes that stage his
Great song !
Que canción tan hermosa, un clásico, tantos recuerdos en mi mente...
Webb you are so fortunate to have such a great singer in your family.
Ive been loving this song all my life ! Started singing and dancing it before I spoke English! It is my pre-teen time. Loved this song always. I think I am getting very emotional ... it's more than 40 years and still a fantastic song creating a very special feeling
Anazing Men at Work,reminds me my. youth,lovevthem💯🎈🎼🎶🌺
THIS VIDEO IS VERY PRECIOUS,
G'day cobber! A ripper fer sur mate now at 75 yrs old(2020)!!! "Oz" LIVES in me!
From America
Thank You!
I love Colin Hay. I can listen to him sing all day!! Wish i could meet him!
These guys are legend. G'day from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Uma das melhores músicas do planeta.
One of his eyes is still looking for the land down under.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg 😳....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not funny. What is he matter with you?
@@geraldhenrickson7472 bro its just a Joke
Humour is way silencing something dark without it humans would be a sad sack of potatoes 🥔
One eyes going too the shops....the others coming back with the change.
I am proud to come from the land down under i love the great southern land this song is an anthem at its finest alongside we are australian 🇦🇺🦘🤟🙂
Is it true that women glow and men plunder?
Baloney. The song is the opposite of an anthem
Men at work is one my also favorite bands.even if they are from the land wonder the land down under Australia.when I first heard Down under the song reminds of a children t.v. show called the house of the clock in Madrid,Spain.sad that band broke up.my colondences to Greg Ham the keyboard and flute player.R.I.P. Greg.
"Traveling in a fried-out kombi" that to me is classic
Still love it after all these years! My young days relived!
I was 18 then. I remember that it was a huuuuuuuge hit, also in Belgium. Greetings from Belgium. Dirk.
Очень позитивная песня,слушаю в 2020 г и радует.👍👍
Only Colin Hay could harmonize with a massive crowd.
I saw men at work several times in the 1980s. The best time was at the Brixton Academy in London 1983 with the B52S as the support band.Nice one
Descanse em paz Greg um talento insubstituível.
Faleceu? 🥲🥲

Que saudade linda música maravilhosa ❤❤👏👏👏!!!

I know this sounds incredibly weird and fake but the lead singer is my dad's second cousin. Never met him but the only interesting relative I have.
Meet him and give him a big hug.
To each his own, bro..enjoy the music, be happy
I hope by "interesting" you mean "interesting to the public" or smth like that!
Because c'mon we all have interesting relatives! Whether they're "celebrities" or not!!
You should meet him. Dude is a legend. What a distinctive timbre on that voice.
Well, your dad's second cousin created the national anthem
Amazing band playing in the good times of the 80s.
siete unici!!! grazie per questo pezzo intramontabile!!
MAN DAT EYE
I love Colin Hay. I can listen to him sing all day!! Wish i could meet him!
I was born 1981, 80's childhood was great.
que belleza! lo.mejor de mi juventud
.👏👏👏👏👏👌
Damn - they sound as awesome live as the music video👍🇦🇺
And his voice is even better in 2022!
Just saw them live a week ago, crazy how much of an influence they were at one point and how big the audience was. Made me sad to see how much less people were at the show last week
Well go figure. We got a bunch of washed up teens with washed up adults jamming out to Cardi B and all the other animalistic bullshit.
I guess you only saw Colin Hay live, because the rest of the guys are not in the band anymore
Great song
Love this song from the first time I heard it and still love this song today blessings and respect 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥✌️✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏
Много раз слышал эту песню по радио, но не знал исполнителей. Теперь знаю. Песня класс!!!!
This is my favourite live version, i like it fast and punky
Це просто неперевершенно! Україна любить Mеn At Work!)
Will always remember hearing this at a high school dance, covered by a small time band but still made a permanent impression.
I was at the first US Festival in 1982.
Priceless provocative color footage.
Old school 80s music.the best
Good stuff, good band.....thanks for putting this up.
So beautiful
Bellissima,questa canzone anche live
I love this song!!
Caught them live in Florida @ a theatre,amazing acoustics,they are So talented !!!
Já curti dimais essa musica nos anos 80...que bommmm.

Saludos del Perú al mundo quien lo escucha en pleno año 2021
