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!

"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
