Colin Hay ~ Overkill - Lyrics

Colin Hay, formerly of Men at Work (hence the play on words in the title of the album on which this was performed, Man @ Work), has an exceptional gift for playing the acoustic versions of these, for me, long forgotten 80's hits that I remember but hadn't heard in ages.

The new spin on the old sound with the use of minimal electronic anything and some interesting additions create a fresh new sound with lyrics you just happen to know.

This song, though not one of my favorites by Men at Work is officially my favorite by Hay, who penned most of the songs for the group. I love this acoustic version, find the lyrics to be deep and meaningful, and have put this together as a triubte to the new sound that I've just found.

Enjoy!
