Men at Work - Overkill and Downunder

[writeract2]

What i love about Colin Hay is his incredible dance moves, what a good dancer he is, how his natural love for dancing comes through & how he always incorporates them into his performances. Love the dance sequence in down under video.

[writeract2]

Would have been wonderful if they had stayed together longer & written more wonderful songs like this.

[writeract2]

He's such a nice guy, his eyes just look very anxious & fearful (like the song).

[vk2bpl]

Day after Day

[Pusteblume43]

Best song ever but there are better videos, too.

[TheRainingbird]

its called the evil eye :D...... still love it

[heidbrain]

he has blu eyes.....one blew right, and one blew left ! hahahahah....

[HotCrossBunzz]

He's probably one of the only Frontmen of a band that can look at the Audience AND Camera at the same time.

[voyeurbill]

Colin Hays has that special voice like no other! Perfect for the songs that M@W perform!!!!!

[Stinkbeaner]

Colin Hay has truly been blessed with this magical voice <3

[Simonmix1]

I Men at woK sono fantastici!!!!!

[Robcatist]

liked them at the time, Colin Hays vocals always got compared to Stings

[SuperMaexle123]

1:08 wtf squiting?

[jbalbirnie]

About the speeding up of the songs, as an artist, trust me, thats not intentional at all, its mainly just nerves/adrenaline and bear in mind that theres a set time to play your whole set, better to finosh early than late, otherwise you be getting money taken off your wages at the end of the day :P

[dejawi4]

@jbalbirnie I agree 100%. You always play faster live, almost everyone does, except for bands that use a click track of course.

[Raiderfn31]

@jbalbirnie Great comment. My brother plays and its very true live stuff gets sped up.

[videoviksinn]

Killer footage, ultracox!

[wisemagic18]

@TeddyPickerxD his wife is peruvian

[head5338]

his eyes freak me out! but i looove it!

[TULLYNOL]

To think what would have been...... Men At Work was over TOO soon.

[luc649]

Kangourou dance ?

[lathikus]

[luc649]

@lathikus Cangooroo good enough !

[ribbemans]

i was there and so awsome was it

[ELGONZALESS]

great band!!!

[neuregel]

I didnt know until recently that colin played guitar on stage back in the day. they never showed it in the videos that I remember. No wonder he is so good on acoustic sets now a days.

[aepps2]

holy shit whats wrong with his eyes ive never seen that on him

[lochaine62]

@aepps2  Yes, his eye has always been like that...but it sure has no effect on his beautiful singing voice :)

We saw him (them) in Ft Pierce Florida in 2003 - his voice is as pure and strong then as it was when we loved their music so many years ago....Go Colin!!

[explorationx]

great band, great song!

[BBQkrewe]

such talent!

[aquiro]

how many instruments can the keyboard guy play?

[AALLJJNNDDRR]

al bundy sings awesome!

[leslycatly12]

[MrFlyingbird6]

3 people got overkilled

[DF13NatalRN]

Briliant!!!

[HardRockBassist]

wow...stop arguing..just enjoy the song..if you don't then leave the page....Colin hay is too good on vocals

[buzzatronica]

If I could take you all back to that time and listen to the music and live in that time, you would never want to return. A more simple time.  Stay young and remember to never take the time your in for granted. Corny? Yeah, but true.

[JP5466]

No close-ups for Ron or John... sad.

[0Sirk0]

wall eyed as fuck.

[riseagain100]

whats with his eyes?

but great songs .

[SchissaBrun]

is it just me or did I hear some german words from him? xD

[khushi881]

this is what i call a true band. im 16 and the crap that is music today astonishes me. This is true music. I wish i was around to listen to it in the 70s and 80s.

[ainsliebrockett]

best voice in popular music bar none

[stampedehero22]

Man I have listened to every single album they produced. They performed an HBO special at the Fillmore west If that came out I would be so happy A song called tokyo was awesome. Another tune was an instrumental featuring the drummer It was great I still have that on a cassette. They cook The Brazil Live from 98 is top shelf.

[roskildahphreak]

What a fag band! What shit music! And that guy's eye explains why he makes so shitty ass music. He's retarted!

[d1975le]

@roskildahphreak And what the fuck have you ever done that was so great? Shut the fuck up.

[roskildahphreak]

@d1975le I've don karaokes drunk better than this shit, asshole! So fuck you!

[nakedrobz]

@roskildahphreak he's retarted? I think you're retarded.

[roskildahphreak]

@nakedrobz And i think your dads a faggot! Now fuck off!

[nakedrobz]

@roskildahphreak fuckin troll

[roskildahphreak]

@nakedrobz For what? Having my own opinion and expressing it? Go fucking kill yourself! Go play in traffic, man!

[nakedrobz]

@roskildahphreak nah, for bein a troll mate

[roskildahphreak]

@nakedrobz You guys are fucking morons and this band is fucking retarted! Fuck off!

[fagottree]

@roskildahphreak

Using this Doll, where did the Web touch you?

[reydelmuerte]

@roskildahphreak you're retarded sir,...cause making fun of someone cause hes handicapped..dude...that is so lame...you probably need to compensate the fact you have little penis or something...and if you think this music is shitty , okay....but dont say something bout colin hay cause of his handicap you moron.

[roskildahphreak]

@reydelmuerte LOL! Blah blah blah! Bother to read...

[reydelmuerte]

@roskildahphreak thanks for proving that you're asocial =)

[roskildahphreak]

@reydelmuerte Whatever

[MaghoxFr]

@reydelmuerte not asocial, he's a troll, pretty pathetic thing to be really.

[labora4best]

The never ending problem with raw idiocy like "big brother" is they prove that need

to criminalise everything, and get nowhere but people trying hard to get rid ,and live their live peacefully. Their are the onlyones who never understand that the alfabet starts with A. The day they'll see the light ,will be a good day.

[artevisual17]

Que gran video es inolvidable en mi gran año 1983

[petelabeat]

I have always believed that the singer is black and from Jamaica... I feel a little stupid now. Haha.

[VaginalniPretres]

@petelabeat your not the only one.... sayin its a mistake, its a mistake...

[Highvoltageism]

Man that eye adds character.

[VEGETASUPERSAYAJIN4]

And i come from another Landa

[derik1990]

An eye in the fish, another in the cat.

[jimforsey]

Man... What the FUCK is wrong with Sony? I was totally psyched in watching the video of Overkill after viewing this... And guess what..? GONE!! I mean WHY!? What do they gain in doing this?!

[Azner2254]

@jimforsey Me too. ARRGH.

[Azner2254]

@jimforsey There goes Down Under too.

[labora4best]

@jimforsey Real easy this one. Music?

For musicians it's their fantasy ,creativity ,talent and daily bread.

For Fans it's their favourites, their this and that...

And for the record company it's their money ,marketshare, and COPYRIGHTS.

So, that is the point.

All clear?

[holo098]

peeeaaas :) :)

[brunofilleti]

I never tought that he had a leasy eye hahahaha .. =(

[zyzycs]

[ChIcAnO2111]

[TULLYNOL]

Colin Hay is very cool. Men At Work truly rule.

[1bol1]

[xshad4wx]

old times... hip hop,rap, techno whatever sh*t.

this is music

[coyotewess]

lol at 4:50

[CroCopTRH]

som1 told me that these guys are gay or one of them.

Is this correct?

thx

[DerPunkfreundGER]

I myself am german, and i must say that this handclapping really sucks in my eyes^^ in each tv show, concert, everywhere just clapping each time there's a rhythm...

[EinMagillaGorilla]

@DerPunkfreundGER

I'm not German, Deutschland? Why not enjoy the music? Warum?

[DerPunkfreundGER]

@EinMagillaGorilla What the heck you wanna tell me :D

[matteoprez]

@DerPunkfreundGER That's because you're German. Jeeez man chill out.

[DerPunkfreundGER]

@matteoprez jeeez man whats your point

[matteoprez]

@DerPunkfreundGER My point is, there's nothing wrong in clapping. Not unless you're landing in a plane. There is nothing wrong in showing some emotions from to time, you know.

[ribbemans]

@DerPunkfreundGER dude this band is one of the legends of the classic rock bands

[DJRckwl]

@DerPunkfreundGER It bugs me that many artists feel they need to SPEED UP their songs when performing live. THERE"S NO NEED!!...I can't STAND when they do that!!

[spacehopperballs]

@DerPunkfreundGER Whats wrong with clapping I actually quite like it when you clap when the plane lands :-)

my fav of all time.

Check the stats for this record they are amazing.

First Nr 1 both sides of the atlantic at the same time since the Beatles

check it out.

[Reggzter]

Colin "Crazy Eyes" Hay. Never gets old.

[Reggzter]

Colin "Crazy Eyes" Hay. Classic.

[BVBThomas09]

Thank you for the great MUSIK in the 80's. Schönen Dank, es war eine geile Zeit...und wird es immer bleiben!

[aleeking1]

OMG, This was my favorite group in the 80's

[ainsliebrockett]

1983 great year for music. men at work--cargo great album--colin hay best voice ever

[MACA001able]

gr8t song

[ludrope]

BUENOS TEMAS

[muzzyizz]

amazing band amazing performance just perfect

[MannaMachine69]

Fabulous band, so underrated x

[Corkrebell]

it brings back good memory;s ga day mate thanks .

[fzappa007]

GuitarHeroAzzKicker removed his comment and has gone into hiding...it seems he cant handle youtube's minions.

[fzappa007]

cock-eyed...much?

[kakerlakenkopf]

I can't get to sleep

Think about the implication

I'm diving into deep

Possibly the complications

Especially at night

I worry over situations..

it's so true.. <3

[JT2534]

colin just looks so relaxed onstage. He´s a naturall :D

[ljgsuper]

STING WITHOUT THE ATTITUDE

[1122337890]

A man at work is an overkill Thanks you all for yr job

[xfebar]

hate the delay/echo in the voice

[rabinpetrobras]

overkill 4 ever

[mastafulla]

Deadly bros!I should join yous wit my didg!

[bummerhigh3]

hes got a lazy eye

[lavakava]

not a lazy eye, he;s got a cock eye!

[LivengoodTodd]

I saw Colin in Cleveland Ohio in 03 he rocked the joint. Good Tunes!

[morick08]

HAHAHA colin hay is amazing.

[PigskinMafia]

what kind of horn is that? sounds great

[morick08]

that is a soprano saxophone.

[IsacCrimson]

Recorded in Sweden? Damn, I wasn't even alive then. I live there, though.

John Rees and his sunglasses are one, I tell you.

[olympiatr]

still they are the best!!! Sting is still behavin when singin as Colin's style. Colin Hay is the best male singer ;)

[pumpkinscuckoo]

I used to have the hots for their drummer. I wish I could have met him, but I'm sure he was married or something.

[johnnct]

Jerrry is now a teacher in Australia. He quit the music business.

[JRTJRTJRT]

I can't remember what I ate for dinner last night but I remember the entire lyrics to these songs from a quarter century ago.

[felsner1]

Down Under always suffered from the lack of studio perfection when performed live, in my opinion. Its new wave sound textures just cannot be regenerated on-stage. Overkill fares much better, though the delay is surely maxed out here...

[tomasdownunder]

Para mí, junto a Sting, Colin es el mejor cantante de los 80. Sólo por esta canción, dan ganas de naciuonalizarse australiano. Viva M.A.T.!

[condor1124]

So Soulful Song!

[sondheimfan1]

this is so 80's

[kasperfussing]

His eyes looks all fucked up..... yet a nice songs...

[Kalcite]

i know... his eyes do look a bit weird o.O

kinda like

o _o

but who cares? :D

Fucking awesome songs.

[tasteflavored]

@Kalcite obv u care..



[oldierunner]

Schwach, sehr schwach! Vergiss es!!

[pawee1]

I grew up on this shit

[222Rooms]

Very Cool!!!

Thanks for sharing...

[daveythelad]

Awesome - probably the most 'stop ya dead' pieces of music from the 80's. Colin Hay is an absolutely brilliant musician and singer!

[kimo1371]

i noticed there were some jedi in the crowd also....

[thisischavez]

Thank God this song is awesome because I can't stop staring at that guy's googly eye.

[203CHYEA]

he dosent even care in this video he worried bout his paycheck

[ScottishNotBrittish]

2 o the best songs ever

[mudstik]

love men at work the best

[airnational3]

great sounds of colin hay

[tsehessweh]

lukasWZ, you're so damn right. Nevertheless - those two songs are just brilliant. Cheers!

[rafalweb]

Maybe it gives the artist more energy? They sure look like they're more into the performance than American audiences usually are.

[chenefi]

these two songs put together is like the best combo this is like the combonation of songs ever cause both of these songs are amazingly good

[chenefi]

these two songs put together is like the best combo this is like the combonation of songs ever cause both of these songs are amazingly good

[sabry0491]

Perfect!

[yichtvak]

it kinda sounds better in the music video for down under

[lukasWZ]

why do germans have to clap along songs all the time? this is annoying, and im german too.

[SokeDokuTeam]

No. It would be annoying if they just stand there, doing nothing and just listening the concert. They HAVE to clap along the songs und such a great concert like this

[DaBlume]

Oh yes.

and im german TOO :)

[johnnct]

Alot of Europeans are weird.

[exser]

Alot of falseamericans think they are the best and the rest of the world knows that they are retard...

[johnnct]

false americans? What are you talking about? We are the best-thats why everyone wants to live here.

[exser]

ok, you're the best killers but everyone wants to live there???

hahaha! no, thanks

peace brother

[eissoaixx]

@johnnct i never will change australia for USA

[CodyT3212]

Absolutely brilliant. Most underrated band of all time. I love them so much. I have two of their vinyl records (for a total of like 8 fuckin bucks) and they are already two of my favorite albums ever. And now i love them even more after seeing how great they are live. do they still tour!?

[mickdee06]

colin hay still tours but the band split up the remaining members are part of another band too so the best you could do is see them seperately

[johnnct]

Colin is the only one touring still as a Solo perfermance. He wrote most if not all the songs and has copyright on the songs so he can sing and perform for profit. News Update: Recently the lead guitarist (Ron Strykert) was jailed because he threatened Colin. This happen in Los Angeles.

[iandi10]

Down under is australia... they are from Australia... that's why the kangaroo imitation...

[tailslide50]

Great video. Thanks

[BasementRecordStudio]

Bunny Hop anyone?

[jingledell666]

Wow. Thanks so much for posting this!  Been looking for a live clip of Overkill from back then for awhile, I knew it had to be out there somewhere!

[jamq4]

buena
