Down Under Men at Work 1981

The Men are still at Work. One of the most enduring unoffical anthems ever written, "Down Under", blends a sense of wandering "Ozzie" pride with a subtle warning against the over-development and loss of the very spirit it celebrates. Released in 1981, Men at Work captured a moment of burgeoning national confidence that transitioned the country’s image from a colonial outpost to a vibrant, independent cultural force. The bands frontman, Colin Hay, now 73 still sounds like he did in the 80s with his driving vocals. An aussie chestnut in every sense of the word that just keeps getting better with age. This live recording featured Ringo Star on the drums, the man has been side-questing since 1970 and collecting iconic crossover performances like they're infinity stones.
