    Some anvils need to be dropped many times over.

  • This is Mother Mary's favorite song. I know since She is whispering in my ears. Eisenhower's industria-lmilitary complex IS OVER

  • Yo! that was quite funny! never heard of the song but thanks..

  • Shit yeah!

  • I was born in 71 this what I call music with pure talent the 80s is ingenious and always holds true to its great originality...life was different back then unlike today were everybody is electronically plugged in 24/7 the internet, text, i pod, cell..we didnt have these things back then we bonded in other ways we had more hummanism.

  • Being 12 in summer of 83. Yes the greatest decade of music was off and runnin'

  • The 80's was the greatest decade, if you didn't experience it, YOU LOSE

  • @LordChoxy You rigth !

  • @LordChoxy The 50s-Early 90s. Prime. :]

  • @LordChoxy I wish I did.

  • @LordChoxy dude, I would of LOVED LOVED LOVED to experiance it! I'm jelous of you because you most likely experianced it! *growel*

  • @LordChoxy ....the greatest decade is whatever current decade one is living in.  Why not make life as great as possible, instead of looking back to the past?

  • @LordChoxy i lost :(

  • wenas esta weaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa esta muy wenaaaaaaaaaa+

  • i think of dose 62 that theyre just so excited they have pressed the wrong thumb.

    peace man.

  • When I listen to this song I don't hear the lyrics. It just reminds me of being a fifteen y/o during the summer of 1983. Riding my Mongoose BMX to my friends house to have fun at his pool with not a care in the world except for how and where to get some beer to sneak into the local new home construction site halfway deep into the woods. Some of those young kids have now grown, passed or took unexpected wrong paths. I miss them all. God bless youth.

  • Comment removed

  • Its all misty!

  • Man! You can't imagine how much I miss the 1980's. My favorite decade.

  • Adoro essa música!!

  • The Button looks just like an ashtray. Who wouldn't get mixed up?

  • War is a mistake.. love this song and the truth it held fom years ago..

  • I just realized Colin Hay sounds a lot like Sting

  • Men I love Men At Work.

  • Why would someone watch a music vid & hit "dislike"? Who does that?!

  • @70zkidz douchebags do that

  • @70zkidz Because some of those were a 'mistake'

  • an excellent song, great work guys!!!! cheers

  • great MAWork...

  • The WAR in IRAQ is a mistake !

  • What are those toys at the beginning? They're some kind of GI Joe ripoffs, but I cant remember the name.

  • LOL. Eat some a steak!

  • pretty good song

  • i like the music video, good song.

  • This song is dedicated to all the people who have been "wronged". All the people who have lost their jobs, all the people who have been "dumped" by their partners, all the people who have been refused bank loans, all the people who have fought for a cause and lost and lastly all the people like myself who have been shafted by dodgy employers and victims of sabotage to their careers and emotional blackmail. Saying "Its a Mistake" is no excuse .. but then again its the only excuse they can offer.

  • @Stealthkeys77 Thanks for saying so. I thought I was the only one who's been through all that.

  • @Stealthkeys77

    well said brother..

  • Are those their legs, or are they riding chickens?

  • eat some steak lol

  • Love this band and this song.

  • Love the grannies! Hilarious! I'd forgotten about them in this video! LOL

  • I think this was their greatest song. Memories from times before all the bad things have happened.

  • @DarthDemaric This song was about the nuclear arms race. Ronnie in this song is President Ronald Reagan. I love the band and I like the song, but disagree with the message.

  • @joejoe061 I'm aware of what its about. My comment refers to the events in my own life before all the bad things that have happened to me personally.

  • @DarthDemaric I am sure you are aware of what it is about, that message is pretty clear. The I also love their song, "Who could it be now." They were a cool band. Do you know what happened to them? I ask b/c I don't know.

  • @joejoe061. This wikipedia article explains what happened to them better than I can. Since they evidently don't allow links to be posted here (I've tried to post it several times), you can look up "Men at work band" through google and get the article.

  • @joejoe061 I can say long story short, they got rid of two band members in the mid 80's, got two different people, changed their sound totally, and then wondered why the new albums didn't do so well. That seems to be the bane of most of the 80's bands. If it ain't broke then don't fix it as the saying goes.

  • @joejoe061 How can you disagree with a message of "think first before you blow each other to cabbage?"

    Good advice.

  • I COULD LISTEN 2 THIS 1 100X'S IN A ROW & NOT BE BORED!

  • THATS IRONIC, EVERYBODY IS FIGHTING HERE!!! ITS A MISTAKE, THE WAR IS A MISTAKE!!! THERE IS NOT TIME TO FIGHT, ENJOY THE LIFE.....sorry for my english.

  • oh yeah good good times,glad I was about 17 or 18 when mtv started playing this kick-ass in rotation with red skies at night and the furs and the rest of 80s

  • Great guitar solo. This brings back memories from the big 80's for me.

  • one of the best music band ever

  • This is my favorite song by Men At Work. I think it's their best song they ever made. : )

  • its a mistake seems to go along with the way i feel after the things i went through today.... note to everyone.... when you have something good in your life consider it a blessing because it really is.... i only realize that now after i made a mistake...

    all in all dont say things you dont mean and if you think maybe i shouldnt say that then listen to yourself because you shouldnt....

  • 28 years ago driving my smoky first car, surf boards on the rooftop, real grass not genetic modified joint passing around ,Ocean Pacific T-shirts ,this album playing once and again the beach shore in my front view .I WAS A HAPPY DUUUUDE!

  • @strictlaw You've painted a great picture with those words....what i'd give to wake up and still be in '83.

  • @chumbersdee Songs like this take me straight back to my youth.So in a certain way it's like traveling in time!

  • great song needs more hits tho

  • i personally thinks this is their best song from that album.

    also gotta love the short shorts ;)

  • the Men hit #6 in Billboard, 8-20-83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

  • "A summer's day..." ;-)

  • is it bad that i know what the insignias are on the hats? lol

  • cool jazzy guitar solo

  • there was a time when there were anti war songs in the top 40

  • @odinrok yes what happened i guess there were real artists back in the 80's i can't seem to find any now a days.

  • love all there songs'

  • there's 3 more who made A MISTAKE!

  • I've always loved this song!

  • cool video for the 80's

  • @mercurial22 hahahahahahahaha!!! i just clicked on this song to see what it was and I too come to find it's a song i've been looking for! can't tell wtf they are saying!!

  • Love them and LOVE this classic low tech 80's video

  • Happy Birthday Colin Hay (June 29)

  • OMFG! I've been looking for this song for MONTHS! I thought the chorus was "mid summer's day" and google kept giving me some fucking song by The Tea Party? smfh -.-

  • 61 people were the mistake oooooo burn

  • how can you not like this video and song? 

  • buena muy buena

  • Kind of a cheesy video at the beginning but it is a very good song and it was the 80s so I can forgive them for the choppy stop motion animation.

  • One of the many iconic bands of the 80's! I really do miss the 80's and I am glad satellite radio is available! Another great Aus. band we forget about is Icehouse with the song Electric Blue! I loved the impact the Euro bands and such had on the US!

  • Hang Dick Cheney as a war profiteer,. Nationalize Bechtel. We may not have a national debt

  • I went into the Marines when this came out.

  • Awesome song!

  • i really miss the 80"s!!!!

  • I liked this song for the tune, back in the day, but now, I think it's still relevant. N'est pas? There are so many innocent victims of war, and, without being too "preachy", I take this song, basically, to mean war is screwed up! aka mistake

  • I'm still not sure what the mistake is. It's obviously something to do with a war but I'm still not sure what.

  • @TheDoctorForever57 War itsself is my guess

  • EAT SOME STEAK!

  • @juangt01 hahahahahahahahaha

  • @juangt01 DAMN YOU, CANNOT UNHEAR

  • @ThereAlsoMeGuy1991 Hahaha i know i'm sorry but it really sounds like that, one day it just came to me, try to go to uhhearit.com :P

  • @juangt01

    Damn you......

  • @juangt01 EAT SOME MUSHROOMS

  • @juangt01 You destroyed the music for me forever. It'll never be the same now

  • The Rapture- Its a mistake!

  • great music, great 80s

  • Recuerdos.. muchos, y lindo recuerdos.. cuando estabamos tan solitos

  • My favorite song!!!

  • "It's a mistake" That's what Justin Bieber's parents said when Justin was born. One night of Pot and wild sex can have nasty consequences!

  • my fav part is at 1:40

  • @DetroitSquirreL I liked that quite a bit myself.

  • My memories went to driving my van while rolling a joint with a singlean hand and surf boards on top .That's like 25 years ago!

  • very good a men at work

  • the video = good & funny=)

    the song = sorry but it's a little bit boriinq..=(

  • @comiinqhoome ok, I get that the song is not exciting, but the deeper consequences of man's folly in constant warfare makes this a sobering reality check on humanity. Boring can be good, when done tastefully, and with meaning. What do you consider exciting, Justin Bieber? (Just had to do that, because that's everyone's default response on "The Tube" these days!).

  • @greenwich1754 no0!!i'm sorry but ii hate justin bieber, i love people with really good voices, like christina aguilera-hurt or something like that..(: yes, you're right! i mean everybody looks at justin bieber, but he does nothing special..

  • I've made a huge mistake. - Arrested Development

  • @firebird116

    Legacy of 30 years of good Music

  • @firebird116 ....Hang on to it and keep it in as good condition as you can. Who knows...if it's not now, it could become a collectors item, especially to MaW fans.

  • so true .....the 80's were great!!! Now I have kids and they are so confused with this illusion that they are entitled! Back in my day a good spanking set us straight now we can go to jail for that. I have to reason with my kids and that doesn't seem right to me. Where did the respect for your elders go? .... makes me kinda sad, sorry probably not the place to rant ..... I love Men at work!

  • @amberbenedikt lol my dad thinks like you, I do also now. My dad was never scared to put the belt around my arse, and now i thank him for it. Political correctness destroyed our society...
