Lyrics:
Who can it be knockingat my door?
Go away, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?"
I was a young teen in the 80's and was so happy to see a lead singer with a wandering eye like I had. I looked up to him. At least I tried.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Made me smile.
I certify this as a gold comment 👍

The sax is so hard to play irl

@@RobloxBaconGuy888 what do you mean by sex
He was living next door to a drug dealer in Saint Kilda, Melbourne and he wrote this about people and dodgy characters constantly knocking at his flat as they'd get the wrong door. It left him feeling shaken as he never knew who next was coming to his door.
But did he at least get some drugs too?
@@schris413 Interesting I thought that too-that he was using the drugs too and that increased his paranoia and fear.
Glad I'm up the Balaclava end......does mean I need to go further to see my dealer though.
Maybe it was a JW?
Redheat queen they actually have a 'meeting hall' in between St Kilda and Balaclava.
We need more Sax in today's music.
i know right
We need less shitty music. Basically, end rap and pop.
Sound just like a feminist
+thegamingdude115 So edgy. What are you, 12?

Good thing I wasn't talking about you when I said "We" then isn't it?
I'm so glad that people are actually realizing how good older music is🎉🎉🎉
I love new and old songs

Maybe I'm the only 14 year old love old music lol
@@AshleePeraterI do too
A lot of people like old music no matter what their age. Its not rare and yall aren't special lmao

This guy was singing about mental health way back then...truly a pioneer...
So were many alternative artist in the 80’s though?
I heard this song came about because they were living in a bad part of town and druggies kept bugging them
Nullifies the night
@@marka802Yeah he lived next to a dealer and would always have people mistake his door for the dealer.
they called them nuthouses back then, but we wouldn't do it today.
these old songs can really be the best songs sometimes
When the music goes so hard you don't care where he is looking lol
Introverts' life theme song

ummmm
true. true.
Bocchi The Rock loves this song for a powerful reason... 🚬👌😮💨☝️
real
i love how you can make a full song about asking someone to leave
Art is about doing the mundane extraordinary xD
When pop music allowed people to be creative :(
He never asked, he simply hoped. That's what the song is about
This song is really about suffering from mental illness which isn't so mundane.
I think it's rather about depression and not wanting people bothering you, or at least that's how I interpret it.

I feel like this should be the national anthem for introverted people
YES!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁
I love being an introvert. My dog is all I need.
@@kkttss1928 same
But this IS the national anthem for introverts.
Yes
People didn't give Colin the credit he deserves. IMO this guy had an incredible voice. I guess with how fun and/or silly 80's music and bands could be, people overlooked that fact. This is still one of my favorite 100 songs ever.
It sounds almost like an autotune-type effect in parts of the verses, but he's doing it more naturally.
Yeah? well this is still one of my favourite 99 songs ever.
I seen Colin playing live in Aberdeen as a support act for the Barenaled Ladies. He sounded amazing and still has his Glaswegian accent
Saw them at a free show at a place in Houston, called Surfside Sally's. The sound was spectacular and they were fantastic. Got to hang out with them for awhile.
It's not that people didn't give Colin the Kudos he deserved, it was that Men At Work saturated the airwaves during a period of time in the '80's with all of their hits. People became "tired" of them and moved on. It is refreshing to hear their sound once again.
2024?????😊❤
Delightful track about mental illness. I feel you brothers.
The ultimate song for when you just want to be alone.

Play it back to back “I always feel like somebody’s watching me “ and “ Who can it be now? “ it’s like these 2 songs are related. Awesome songs from the ‘80s
I literally just listened to that other sing
OMG I ALSO FELT THE SAME, that’s “somebody’s watching me” by MJ AND ROCKWELL btw
I do that back to back often
I thought that also.

I'm here to offer my extreme gratitude to Men At Work. This very song was the reason I started my music career in school band, for the sole purpose of trying the Saxophone. Years later I've grown so much playing it, I've been told I have much potential on it, and the only reason I ever picked it up was because of this song. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

What is this about
S E B A S T I A N B A C H he wants to be alone that is what it sounds like to me
Another song about the conflicted feelings of a loner. You want to be left alone, and really you'd be satisfied if you were, but part of you wishes someone would come and take you out of your loneliness. Sometimes people are interesting, sometimes they are repulsive. It's the throws and tides of human beings that keep you from wanting to meet people. People are predictable and yet still alien, worth your time and not. You don't think yourself a king, but you're no peasant. If people want to meet you they can. The hermit atop the mountain. A tough journey to make for sure, but those who even attempt it find it rewarding one way or another. Conveniently, these are just the kind of people you want to meet.
You're projecting so hard. It's about mental health deterioration. Listen to the lyrics because at no point in time is it expressed anything other than paranoia and interest in isolation.
@@kevinkerwin4118 Uh, absolutely? I don't see the problem here.
Songs can be interpreted differently, alongside the official meaning (if any, a lot of artists don't bother, or it isn't obvious). I had listened to a lot of songs with similar themes to this one, so I just wrote what I was feeling here, because this is just another song about being alone.
@@Idothinkysaurus it is a good point you are making. Being an introvert is a unique journey that if you are not an introvert will zero sense. I feel you my man. Here's a wave from a distance mountain. A beer on me if we ever meet
It's clearly about the federal agents in my yard
Maybe, but the first thing I thought was drug paranoia!
Ok but this song brings so much nostalgia back for some reason😭
Proud to say that i knew this song before it was popular on Tiktok 🙏
It wouldn’t be the 80s without a saxophonist as one of the vocalist

The problem:
Someone is knocking at your door late at night
The solution:
Sing this song at them till they leave
Merry Christmas 👍 had to come here for good music to blast through my home...
Wouldn't a trap door under the doorstep or a shotgun through the peep hole be more efficient? Alternatively, a fat can of green gak to dump on their head?
Or you could confront them
Either that or they'll chime in
The idea is hilariously perfect! The only problem is my 'knocking intruders' do not understand english. :(
This is what lockdown was like for me lol

This is actually more 80's than my car
But is it more 80s than your car playing this song? I didn't think so
SUPPRAAA!! If you played this while driving, I wouldn't be surprised if you just straight teleport-ed back to 85'.
I think there's even 90s cars now turning into the "classics" genre of cars. That's when you know time is flying by. As cheesy looking most 80s cars looked back a decade ago, they don't seem to be that bad anymore. I like your car (in your pic) btw.
my first car was a teal 84 Mr2. was super clean. gahhh i miss it!
My 1st car was a Z28 1986 Camaro I was 11 I didnt drive it. My dad was gunna save it for me, but I said that I didn't know how to work on cars very well, he tried to teach me as hard as he could, but I just couldn't get it nor did I want to. I'd rather have him do it or I would pay someone. Alls was needed was brakes. I fucked up.

I agree. This song describes bipolar disorder at its finest. Atleast in my case
It's a tie between this and somebody's watching me

Lyrics:
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he'll knock all day
I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again!
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It's not the future that I can see
It's just my fantasy
Yeah
Hoo, hoo, hoo
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Oh oh oh who can it be now?
Oh where we are
Who can it, who can it
Oh who can it now
Oh where we are

I haven’t heard this in years and still don’t need the lyrics! The 80’s were friggin glorious. Music today is practically garbage I’m sad to say.
I just love that extra small detail of the snare mimicking a door knocking to further add emphasis to the song.
Tiktok is killing this song
Men At Work was my first favorite band that was all mine, as in not inherited from my parents. In large part because of this song.
They were vaguely iconic, if short lived. Very much in the same style as Madness and all of that, directly influenced by Dire Straits and Talking Heads. Good stuff.
For me there’s a specific emotion that the saxophone always evokes. I can’t really put it into words, but it’s something along the lines of cozy yet energetic.
I always thought it was the shock of hearing someone outside your door when you want to be alone, you’re in full control of whether or not they come in so you’re safe, but it’s the initial jump
