Overkil Colin Hay(Full, acoustic version)

[jorgediego]

The graphics are an overkill.

[pizzaisyummy86]

I like the picture slideshow, it goes so well with the song.

[silentrain1203]

who the fuck disliked this? stupid ass mainstream fucks. see what u do to me?

[leesmartin]

@flyswatter51 We can only imagine your pain mate.See if you can talk to someone and get it out of your system.All the best to ya

[darthtortugas]

@flyswatter51 2 theater combat vet myself and understand exactly what your talking about

[withjezos]

when I saw the acoustic version on scrubs I liked it sooo much more than the 80s version

[KillerKilburn]

any one else notice that the ghost didn't fade away it just disappeared?! haha

[freebird4481]

Aww you were touched. 

[freebird4481]

You are a dumb fuck asshole. What the fuck!? The variants in lights he is talking about is the stress and interlude of the major city killing his soul, not fucking santa clause!!! I think you should be forced to shove peanut butter in your moms pussy and be forced to ride her horsey-back into a motherfucking bear cave!!!

[starhawks1]

@freebird4481 you're such a douchy pretentious fuck...stop going on the internet, that right is reserved for people who aren't absolutely, hopelessly ignorant and plain stupid

[youlose122]

Scrubs, me ha dado tantas canciones geniales, Scrubs Foreverrrr!!!

[SunsetSideVet]

Wow so haunting this generation missed out on great music.

Glad I was in the middle of the 80s with talent like this.

[TrippleLee]

scrubs put this song on the map for the people of our generation(22).

[Freigeist73650]

Soooooooo great. Thanks for posting.

[duncanstpt]

Excellent.

[SteveEvans2299]

Anyone who covers this is a Pratt!

[edwh52]

so many souvenirs !!! just like to come back in time !!! for this specialy and other reasons ! love it so bad !!!!!

[melollie316]

I love love love this version. I find myself coming back to it over and over. I AM old enough to remember the original but I think I like this better or perhaps I'm old enough now to appeciate it. Thanks for posting.

[jeandemetz2009]

Radio Oxigeno la toca a cada rato aquí en el Perú. Adoro ese tema aunque a veces me hace rodar alguna lágrima... por los tiempos, lugares pasados y vivencias pasadas en esos lugares... que no volverán... :..( ya nada es igual. El rock de antes era mejor sin duda y los años de adolescencia y niñez tbn.

[jeandemetz2009]

me sorprende... :..( es la historia de mis amanecidas... :..( toda la letra corresponde con lo que me pasa en este momento... Triste tema, uno de los más tristes de la historia del rock. Pero BELLÍSIMAAAA!!!!!!!! : ) Y hey! este tema no es tan antiguo!! looi en 1993 por primera vez el original! este remake lo oi en el Perú en 1997. No es tan antiguo en si.

[joeg171]

my birthday is may 9th. weeeeeeeey.

[cerealkiller1124]

It doesn't matter where you heard it. It doesn't matter when it was released or when you were born. When music speaks to the soul, it transcends limitations by which we are bound, such as time.

All we are is not our past experiences or what our future holds. It is who we are right now, in this moment. So a big thumbs up for Colin Hay and to everyone watching/listening to this music.

[awombat1]

Insominiac's anthem. Great.

[DBRGroup]

if you searched this song you didn't do it for the visuals. so shut up and listen

[iiNoughtso]

nice clip art dipshit

[leroyworld]

lol! 1:49 funny picture xD

[FireCrossKnight]

ehh scrubs..

[VibratingSuitcase]

I hate when people insist on telling you how old they are.

[gallionfurious]

@VibratingSuitcase gussing your of a senior age then hahaha sorry dude you left yourself open for it

[MrAtzenbonze]

Einfach das schoenste, beste und tollste Lied der Welt :)

I love it !

[gothario6]

scrubs <3 so i fell into this song by my inusual 80's music likes, i'm 18 :D!

[rastablues1]

This song derserves a far better treatment than this bullshit Microsoft-ish montage.

[tristantupaz]

Colin Haye is simply awesome!!! One of the best musicians ever exist. Just like Gordon Matthew Sumner aka: STING of the Police.

[edwh52]

like to here this now a days ! i miss this period in time so much ! music today is only samples of years ago not much artistic but 99 0/0 commercial ! full of sh.. ! love you !

[Poultryhole]

I almost wish people would find this song in places other than scrubs. I don't know why it bothers me.

It's kind of like on gun videos when kids say things like "That gun's from Black Ops!"

[StylemasterKaze]

Thumbs up if you look up this song after watching Scrubs.

[waffalo]

Awesome use of montage, dude.

[heihom7]

worst video ever! trash!

[FWMAG]

respect for this song

[MegaMaaaxxx]

Scrubs <3



[AmapolaDL66]

If I were you.. I wouldn't spend much time on that stupid pictures..

[mghtyred]

Man can write some lyrics.... this is a powerful song... but it's all muted intervals. It's a tough one to play acoustically and get a good crowd reaction without amplification or a 12 string....

[notfrance92]

This is better than the original methinks =)

[lancetop]

Lyrics this meaningful are nonexistent in current music.

[bedofrazorsqwerty]

The pics used makes me feel like I'm thumbing through a pamphlet about kitchen safety, vaginal creams or something like that.

[Typetronik]

I just saw Colin Live down in South Florida. It was fucking incredible. I couldn't believe he could sing just as well as he did 30 years ago.

[ryanbabbage]

this is better than the original, do love the bit where cox smashes his guitar. near perfect tune. thanks for post

[andrewc2768]

I was in high school when this was on the radio all the time.

[OoSingeroO]

perfect song.. i love it! :D

[strikeforceteen]

Knew it was from Men at Work, but like this version too. Saw this version on scrubs too :) I love how JD hides and Colin bursts out even louder.

[chadwallace10]

i first saw this song on scrubs too. now im in love with it.

[nny1001]

yes this version is on itunes

[whoozthaboss]

my dad had all the Men At Work albums on phonograph record... He used to play them in the basement and I took a liking to this album in particular with the original... That was back in like... 97.. Reminds me of simpler times.

[fabi81221]

geiles video und geiles lied !!

[BevisFriend2010]

adampetford .The episode of scrubs was priceless. " I have other songs " lmfao

I grew up with this stuff.I love Colin's acoustic stuff.Can't help but smile...

Thanks

[BevisFriend2010]

adampetford .The episode of scrubs was priceless. " I have other songs " lmfao

I grew up with this stuff.I love Colins

[busbyhw]

i like to masturbate to this song

[TheBartelli]

I was turned on to it by SCRUBS myself but had been a men at work fan in the beginning.Anyone can dig a really good song no matter how it came to pass.

[dhubigh]

me an a friend of mine were in this music shop,and this random guy was trying out this beauty of an acoustic, started playing the intro to this, an we just started singing along, got through the whole song before we all started laughing an we've now been friends with this guy like 2 years, awesome song

[coxbuddy]

probably my favorite song , especially this version, also enjoy the lazlo bane video , featuring colin hay, the original is a little eighties, but thats the beauty of music, its not a contest about who is better or which version is best, its all about what you like!

[TheKaro95]

great video!

i love it:)

[hunterdraxx]

Nice piece Colin!

[hunterdraxx]

any kind of version of overkill by men at work - still the best there is!

[kingofallguitarheros]

scrubs got me here !!!

[DarkFlyder]

At 2:50 ---> I worry over situations ;) Great Song!!

[95MasterDavo]

I keep replaying this song over and over..

[kznatokz3]

best song ever just... u know... 4 karaoke u should be able to read the lyrics on time

[MrJanjan14]

scrubs :D

[MaryRawwrr]

I love the acoustic verson. Its luuussshhhh(:

[SuperKwick]

thanks scrubs <3

[dieschinkennudels]

Ich liebe es ! ♥

[RogueInfinity]

@dieschinkennudels I love it too.

[nunile18]

there is no substitute for talent this guy has raw talent the voice and guitar playing can't be matched by most so called artist today

[aowrya]

I always thought this song was Benjamin Gate's!!! I didn't know Benjamin Gate only covered it! Wow, I feel so blown away by this, haha. This version is amazing. And no wonder, originals are usually more amazing than anything that comes after, haha. Not always, but usually. Love it.

[theBabyDead]

@aowrya this isn't the original either xD the original is from men at work i think.

[aowrya]

@theBabyDead Haha, well true! But it is Collin Hayes' song, which is what I meant -- from when he was in Men at Work, if I understand correctly.

[GMinthehouse]

technically the ghost isnt fading away all im saying..

[lukassnakeman]

i thought it was "i know will be alright"

[ramcdevitt]

This song acoustically shows how beautiful is really is--love it- fantastic!

[xXTersiasXx]

@ShoeMage Mate, you picked the wrong word : spelt is fine. The "mistake" was in douchebag (which you corrected). But the joke's lost when you have to explain it...

[pamzuka1]

very gooooo i lyk....im from brasil adoruuu rsrsrsrs

[xXTersiasXx]

Spelt 'overkill' wrong... douchbag

[ShoeMage]

@xXTersiasXx Spelled 'spelled' wrong, douchebag.

[Leosseol]

Good Song for People who think about Life.

Our World is beautifull, but humans can`t understand.

Peace.

[Leosseol]

Good Song for People who think about Life.

[adampetford]

i know this may annoy the "die-hard" fans, but I first heard this song on scrubs.

Im not old enough to know the original, but im totally hooked by this

[MatthewSwanston]

@adampetford me too dude.

[ryantmar1]

@adampetford dude same here

[Leprechaun003onXBL]

@adampetford same :D

[THECANNIBALCAKE]

@adampetford rofl same for me bro

[robglazing1]

@adampetford good for you ,better than rubbish put out these days.

[UnseenChains]

@adampetford Funny episode but the ending was the best when Cox took Hay's guitar and smashed it to pieces.

[erk13z]

@adampetford It doesn't matter how you expand your musical horizon. What matters is that you did. Much of the music I listen too is far older than I am, but it doesn't mean that it isn't still great music. I'm still finding "new" music to listen too.

[Patricko78]

@adampetford i am old enough and did get hooked from scrubs lol !!! Chin up bro!!

[WumboWarrior]

@adampetford I was born in '92, so not being "old enough" is no excuse by me! I love both versions. :D

[ic8spots]

@adampetford good music is just good music, no matter what decade it's from! enjoy discovering the gems from the past!

[blackadder3]

@adampetford Don't feel like you should be apologetic about hearing this first on Scrubs, it's given Colin and his music visibility that he wouldn't otherwise have. It's nice to know that this song isn't forgotten, because it's a great song period.

[timherbert3]

@adampetford I'm the exact same. But it turned me onto his music. Love so much of his work. So I never think its a bad thing. Better to be late than never find it. Good on ya!

[imjustsofree]

@adampetford oooh poor baby go back and just look up the 1980-1989 catalog of music and you will be amazed by all of the great music you'll find. lt was one of the best times of music and a lot of great artist were forgotten about because Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, & Janet Jackson sucked up all the attention of the decade but there are other great people, from that time. Erasure, Simply Redd, INXS, Jody Watley, Fine Young Cannibals, Shannon, Richard Marx, Stevie B, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam

[mrhalol3]

@adampetford same

[mightyzan1979]

@adampetford This version's way better than the original I think... the original is clearly an 80's song (and painfully so). This is more contemporary and free of all saxophone playing, thankfully.

[hiehoeha]

@adampetford How can that annoy the die-hard fans?

[agent254422]

@adampetford yeah me 2 haha

[omarcillo060]

@adampetford So am I dude!!

[lbtoombs]

I loved this song in the 80s, but i'm so thrilled with this acoustic version and Colin Hay's other acoustic projects over the past several years. Thanks to Scrubs for getting this to new audiences.  And really enjoyed the video! good job.

[mondblutkind]

love it :)

[GaaraSabakuno1]

SCRUBS 4EVER! :D

[mxfuser]

Really great job with the pictures, thanks so much for putting this up!

[mmitchellhouston]

This is a very nice, literal imagining of the song. I like it, but a little tighter editing could have elevated it to another level. For example, when he says the "ghosts appear and fade away," you have the ghost just pop out. It would be more effective to have the ghost actually fade out, very slowly, as he lingers on the word, "faaaade." Also, the inclusion of two photos (street and guy by hat) was distracting, as everything until then had just been clip art. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it a lot!

[AprilRocksLA]

@mmitchellhouston I was thinking the exact same thing about the ghost. other than that, pretty good. most of all, I just love the song. both acoustic and the 1983 version

[rs4us]

There ain't many acoustic versions i like...

But this acoustic is just awesome i think its even better than the radio version.

awesome thx for uploadin it ^^

[akakskdk]

this animation is pretty rubbish tbh

[Ubben1999]

Fantastic song!

[fladivr]

What I love about the acoustic version of this song is that you can really sink into the beauty of the chord voicings that are used..This is just a great song performed by a master. I love playing the acoustic versions of many songs, and I always enjoy covering Colin Hay.

[KingZeoX]

This is the song people should learn first on their acoustics. Then Protoman's theme from MM3

[SPkx1]

I hate clipart

[mdeaton3]

@SPkx1 me too!

[theantspants1]

great job with the video mate

made it easy to follow tha lyrics

Cheers ant

[steffarinelli]

Colin, this one has really coooool sounding guitar! You are so goood!

[aircontom1000]

very nice !!!

[Raygreene22]

@spursdave69 You missed the point. The lyrics haven't changed. The creator of the video mis quoted the lyrics.... Perhaps if you go read my post again it might make better sense

[markvanzee1974]

Beautiful song. Thanks for posting it.

[DJFloodster]

this song does nothing but make me smile :).

it's just genuinely amazing :').

[Kompostschaf]

wonderful song :)

[Kraken2681994]

nice tune man :D

[CJxFLO]

this version is so much better than the original.

[ginjared]

Made me cry that colin. I love this tune, it's just how I feel at the mo. Going to buy your c.d tomorrow. cheers colin, love Suki x

[coleycinders]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[motowngirl941]

I'm so old I remember when this song was a hit for Men At Work!! Loved it then, love it even more now that Colin is doing it acoustically!! :) Great job on the video!

[zapmaddin]

lömlömjlm

[SPMcKinney]

found this song while watching scrubs and fell in love with it

[Raygreene22]

Great vid.... unfortunately you got one of the lyrics wrong.

I worry over situations, I know WILL be alright.

[spursdave69]

@Raygreene22 Hey he wrote the fecking song so he can sing whatever he likes! I was around when this first came out and by far pefer the stripped down version that is this. And that includes his choice to change HIS LYRICS!!

[Drugana80]

Sehr geile Musik I love it

[erikderrote1]

cool!!!!

[LUCKYpotatoes]

im sorry, but that ghost didnt fade away at all

[MissC613]

fackinn loveee itt...so good

[regulacaljoe]

love it !

[BetrayustheMetalBand]

this songs is awesome and the lyrics are amazing. makes me want to do an acoustic album myself

[CoTeCiOtm]

Great video! This song is great, it got a lot of feeling. The images are a great detail that very few people do, congratulations! And now... lemme get my MP4 player to put this video there and immerse myself into this great music.

[agent5250]

need to this song well done my friend go show like this one

[CJxFLO]

I CAN GET TO SLEEP!!!!!

[rakuencallisto]

@CJxFLO

it's I can't*

[Wacokid48]

grew up in the 60's....learned that music from all decades could just rock your soul....that's why we still have it !! Need it...want it...what a great gift!!

[BPRGTEAM]

I prefer this version to the original. Fantastic song. Thanks colin.

[toys28]

Ive read all the comments and apart from some dickheads with no grammer thinking simple songs that people have worked hard one should be hated. They should go die in a fire! 5/5 Fav And BRILLIANT SONG

[Dav777]

well done bud. tHANKS

[dwater007]

one of my favorite songs

[Uenfyniituefs]

LOVE IT.!

I think it's the best version....sounds like the version from Scrubs :D

[XionsDruid]

@ Uenfyniituefs: That's because it is. :-P

Thanks for posting this Jess, and I like the accompanying visuals. Very creative. :-)

[adtgarg]

Hey really liked the way u've done the video. Good job. Thanks

[toys28]

True that mate, Chances are if your watching this video you want to listen to the music, The fact that this had some nice picutres and words at all the right times adds alot of detail. means you can sing along to it if you dont know the lyrics!

Ps: Shes a she

I still love this song though

[rakuencallisto]

@ESEX3MANIAK13

colin hays is one of the greatest musicians in rock ever.

his lyrics are so vivid and have some deep meaning behind most of the songs.

[adzy216]

Excellent song. Excellent interpretation. 5*

[dvkal2]

great version Pictures are really good thanks

[goldeneddie]

I'll glad you put this up Jess. Ironically, perhaps the little pictures for each line were a little errm, overkill?! Ho ho. Still, great song thanks.

[beberger53]

Beautiful audio. Luscious.

[jib2182]

Good song although i don't think the little pictures for each line were really necessary

[kikigboys]

THIS IS THE THE GREATEST SONG!!!!

[rockman22]

Good song, but the video makes me feel like a retard or a four year old. Thank for showing me a picture of what the lyrics mean in every single line.... yeah

[gokalpafsar]

hi brother. showing a picture of what the lyrics mean in every single line may seem meaningless for those who are native speakers of English. but I think people who are still learning English as a second language (like me) finds that usefull. Kind regards

[fumingriley]

Love this version, great song; the best Men at Work song IMO

[BobbyOCProductions]

Reminds me of scrubs!! :)

[kuroluffy]

Great episode! =)

[revilo40]

so ein geiler song.

beautiful!

[johnnycabot]

There is a much, much "fuller" sounding acoustic version of this song out there...also by Colin Hay himself...maybe using a 12-string.

I've had an MP3 of it for years - but I can't remember where I got it from.

[1MartinD28]

wow I really like the words

[ter3645]

Good use of mostly clip art.

[sadmadgla3]

i've meet colin hay. very cool guy.

[lilianphoebs]

very nice video and great song :)

[firedrake94]

you spelled overkill wrong. it's not overkil. its overkill. two "l"'s. that's an L.

[soccerjames500]

If you spend your time correcting spelling on the internet you are fighting a long, difficult and losing battle. Oh, and you have no life.

[igglepiggle07]

I think it's worth it in the end :)

[lola9343]

dig the song and lay off with teh spellcheck
