I want to know how Greg Ham wound up having to pay for the entire Kookaburra mess! Anyone know- please email me at Angeloftheodd@yahoo.com... It saddened me deeply to hear how Greg's world spiraled and eventually ended. He was a truly talented man and the heart and soul of the band. Rest in Peace, sweet man...you deserved so much better!

[hodell82]

"Land Down Under" and "Who Can It be Now" get all the props and they are great songs, but in my opinion, this is Men at Work (especially Colin Hay) at their best.

Probably one of the best songs ever written about the psychological condition known as - ANXIETY

Get some men at work sax smoothness on, and head on over to subspace-continuumDoTcom to download this brilliant free spaceship shoot 'em up blast that has been going ferociously since the mid 1990's - the first internet game! - with a community unlike no other, huge team of dedicated volunteer staff and endless events, tournaments and leagues to compete in!
