MEN AT WORK Its a mistake music Reaction

Early 80s commentary on the cold war with someone wondering how it will all end and high powered politicians and military wondering about if "its a mistake" after the worst case scenario they caused. The name Ronnie is in reference to former US president Ronald Reagan
Haven't heard this one in forever. Great song!
Great stuff from the 80s.......
Great album
This entire album is great. I was a big fan of them.
i was too back then still love them now
Such an underrated jam by Men at work you should watch the video because he accidentally pushes the button 😮 I grew up on Men at work ❤
They were a bright shooting star across the sky in the early 80s...2 big hit albums... and faded away (as a group))
Hi Harri!! I love Men at work!!!
I'm just remembering myself as a kid singing that chorus "It's a mistake!!".
Regards from Chile! 🙂
Props for being the only person on TH-cam to step out and not react to the same songs everyone else is reacting to. This one is a gem but doesn’t get any attention.
Harri managed to get the meaning from this song without the original video, which was an MTV staple back in the day.

Colin Hay's vocals were excellent in this one. A few years back Hay re-did an acoustic version of Men At Work's song 'Overkill'. Imo, it's better than the original.
Agree with his acoustic version. Great.
That voice is to perfect. I actually prefered these cats over the bougie sting and his peasant band mates
Superb use of a guitar solo as a bridge.
Ronald Reagan was President when this came out. "They gone and grabbed old Ronnie" was a reference to him. Although not the biggest hit, this is my favorite Men at Work song.
Mine, too! (But Overkill is a very close second.)
My favourite MAW song too.
Makes even more sense these last 3 1/2 years :)
@@jeffreyg607 How so?
@@debjorgo The world is on fire and the country is suicidal, in case you hadn't noticed. Unless you LIVED through that time, you have to read about it, while some of us lived it, and this is worse!
These times are perfect fodder for (rock star multi-millionaire) protest songs, and yet, very few have had the balls to write them.
Bought the 45 back in the day. Men At Work could do no wrong. One of the best out of Australia and well accepted here in the states. Colin Hay has that unique voice record companies are always looking for. Way to go Rob Taylor. Nice pick and nice reaction. 👍👍👍
Very topical song again I'm afraid.
Yes, the threat of nuclear war still persists and always will .... you can't put that genie back in the bottle.
Enjoyed your reaction, Harri, and your take on the song was on the money. The 80s sure had great music, but it was often a tense time politically. More than the subject matter, though, it was always the music that drew me to this one. Such a vibe!
The official music video just adds to it. Unfortunately it’s still relevant
Such was the feeling in the early 80s. Anxiety of WWIII was palpable.
Not for those I knew then, thankfully.
You're exactly right. The tension between the USSR and the USA and her NATO allies was a very real concern during the early to mid-1980s. In fact, in 1983 we came exceedingly close to a nuclear war when the USSR's early warning system triggered a warning that the USA had launched their ICBMs and they were headed toward the Soviet Union.
Fortunately, a cool-headed Soviet General with balls of steel ordered a standdown and a Soviet nuclear launch was narrowly averted. A subsequent investigation revealed that the USSR's early warning system had registered a 'false positive' and that there was no nuclear threat after all. This revelation resulted in new safeguards being activated in order to avoid such an error from happening again.
@@roboaks798 You must be too young to remember the 1980s, because JamesCormier's comment is spot-on correct.
I worked at HQ Strategic Air Command from 1988-1991. It was an interesting perspective on the Cold War. From the inside. That's all I can say, of course. There were lots of safeguards, and my respect for our military leaders increased then. They were ready for war, that was their job. But as the SAC moto says, "Peace Is Our Profession."
It was then, and unfortunately it is coming back. The world has gone mad- literally.
Cold War music classic
Colin Hay is FABULOUS in concert. See him any time you can! (So substantial.)
I love men at work, a great band!
Hari, watch the video privately -it's fun, where each Man takes on a role, joins the military, even for "the other side". Copyright, is a thing.
This is one of my favorite MaW songs, with "Overkill" being my favorite (it has to do with anxiety)
And, the killer guitar solo - "Overkill" has a great Guitar, and saxophone solo!
The video for this is really powerful. One thing younger generations don't have is a fear of war and nuclear war in particular. As others have said this came out at the height of Reagan, "Ronnie" in the song, and again the video shows how easy it could be for us to all die. It was a pretty big song off this album. Wish kids would hear this song and see the video - it's quite a message. Thanks for great reactions Harri!!!!
I didn't notice before because I don't usually listen to reggae but you're definitely right about that reggae influence in there with the backing guitar rhythm throughout the song. Good catch!
such an important no nukes song they wrote ~ my ultimate favorite
fantastic ending to song...
This song was a satirical product of the Cold War, before the USSR disbanded in 1989, and the (seemingly at the time) very possible outcome of nuclear holocaust. Those who lived those days remember very well the "duck and cover" drills in elementary school.
For 18 months in '82-'83, Men at Work were as big as any band in the world. Then they were gone.
Its a forgotten conclusion. Its not if ...its when...great melodic line on the guitar when it scales down to the bottom with the layers of the choruses
Hits- Overkill, then this. Deep cuts- No Sign Of Yesterday, Still Life, Upstairs in My House, Down By The Sea, Giving Up, I Can See It In Your Eyes :)
They should have made it work longer :( Good times!
very relevant..still
Love their sound Rob it's so distinct and they have some great tunes and thanks to the Sultan too.
❤👍😉
This is my favourite Men At Work song.
Colin Hay is Scottish! My favourite was Down By The Sea.
Why didn't you watch the official music video? The visuals were great, especially the stand-in for Ronald Regan being hit over the head by a little lady and the accident at the end.
Nice reaction, Harri 👍
Check out the video they did for this song sometime. It's a great one !
I remember as a kid in the late 70’s and early 80’s having horrible nightmares about nuclear war. This song is still relevant.
I remember as a kid in the 1960s having to do 'nuclear war drills' at school. That's the cloud that children of the Cold War grew up under ... and you're right, it was nightmare-inducing.
Colin Hay has an amazing distinctive voice!! He still sounds awesome today!! My favorites are "OVERKILL" and "YOU SAVED ME FROM MYSELF - From "The Resident: Season 2". Although there are so many more that I Love! Great choice!! ❤
You're a very wise man.
Colin's main influence was reggae music. You can hear it on a lot of their songs, like Land Down Under and Who Can it Be Now. Love the song, dig the reaction.
Cheers for that. A classic piece of Cold War paranoia, I remember it well. And also, the first band I ever saw live in 1983.
You could characterize it as 'paranoia' I suppose, but the threat was very real. Anyone who lived under the cloud of the Cold War can attest to that reality.
@@kelleychilton2524 I know, I did.
Men At Work are an Australian rock band formed in1978. Their biggest hits were "Who Can It Be Now?" & "Down Under". They had some other songs such as "Be Good Johnny", "Overkill", "Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive", "Everything I Need", "Maria", "The Longest Night" etc. Men At Work performed "Down Under" at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, alongside Paul Hogan of "Crocodile" Dundee.
Overkill was my favourite...it became even more popular when it was in Scrubs the tv series.....Colin Hay and Men at Work were really good operators no doubt and even now highly regarded. Interestingly apart from "Down Under," thought they were a bit ahead of their time with some of the introvert/alienation/paranoid themes covered in their songs. Fantastic!
Such a good song and shows the real fear and danger living in the 80's
Worse now.
I love it, can't get enough of it. Surprised it has that reggae vibe from an Aussie band while still being Rock. 80s!!! 💯👍
Enjoy your videos 🙏💛
Here are some suggestions;
Moody Blues, Legend of a mind by Ray Thomas, who could change by John Lodge, and if you would take a look at the lyrics of The Promise by Mike Pender, One Step Into The Light. You and Me by Justin Hayward and Graeme Edge. Love and light, Victoria 🙏💛
Loved this song growing up.
Just a reminder, the nuclear clock is closer to midnight than it has ever been since it was established.
Yeah the video for this song makes it very clear what they're talking about. Thanks Harri! Peace and love!
