Colin Hay - Men at Work (2 of 5)

[subatomiccupcake]

The Statler Brothers used a 5 star system to decide what/whose songs they did. Everyone in the band voted for each song, and if it didn't get the stars they didn't do it. I think it's a great idea, maybe one that would save great bands from breaking up.

More Men At Work, lot less Lady Goo Goo

[MsAussie83]

From what I read, the band Men At Work got its name from a street sign denoting road construction. And, I believe what I read says they were at the Cricketer's Arms Hotel in Richmond, near Melbourne, when the band got its name. By the way, where's Frankston?

Good interview. He looks better NOW!

[tothatextent]

The guy does not look like a RockStar.  But, Men At Work was one of the biggest bands of the 80's. These guys were so huge, they were on the radio non-stop.

The thing is he emigrated to Aussieland with his family when he was a lad...He's kinda of a scottish aussie hybrid with very strong ties to both countries...

[jonnosmythe]

Colin emmigrated to Oz from Scotland in 1967, it's great he kept the accent of his roots :)
