Performance of 'Down Under' featuring Colin Hay of Men At Work

Men at Work, the Australian rock band known for their catchy tunes and social commentary, released their debut album, "Business as Usual," in 1981, which propelled them to international fame with hits like "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now?" By the time of the live recording featuring Colin Hay performing "Down Under," Hay had established himself as a solo artist after the band's peak in the early '80s. The band’s third studio album, "Two Hearts," came out in 1985, following a period of significant success and following their earlier catalog. An interesting point is that “Down Under” remains a cultural touchstone for Australia and was re-recorded in various forms, highlighting its enduring legacy. The live performance showcases both Hay's talents and the timeless appeal of the band’s music, reflecting how their work continues to resonate with audiences decades later.
