    "Down Under" is a song recorded by Australian rock band Men at Work. It was originally released in 1980 as the B-side to their first local single titled "Keypunch Operator", released before the band signed with Columbia Records. Both early songs were written by the group's co-founders, Colin Hay and Ron Strykert. The early version of "Down Under" has a slightly different tempo and arrangement from the later Columbia release. The most well known version was then released on Columbia in 1981 as the third single from their debut album Business as Usual (1981).
    The hit song went to number one in their home country of Australia in December 1981, and then topped the New Zealand charts in February 1982. The song topped the Canadian charts in October 1982. In the United States, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on 6 November 1982 at No. 79, and reached No. 1 in January 1983 where it spent four non-consecutive weeks. It eventually sold over two million copies in the US alone. Billboard ranked it at No. 4 for 1983.
    In the UK, the song topped the charts in January and February 1983, and is the only Men at Work song to make the UK top 20. The song also went to No. 1 in Denmark, Ireland, Italy and Switzerland, and was a top 10 hit in many other countries. "Down Under" is perceived as a patriotic song in Australia; it remains popular and is often played at sporting events.

      That's not entirely true. This song was a massive hit and is still being played now. They had other hits which were not international, but definitely local hits. Not sure if they were before or after this. I suspect they could live off the proceeds of this song but don't quote me🌵💗

      ​@@HeartFeltGestureThat is funny. It is 42 years since "Down Under" had been released and it is still a classic of the 1980s New Wave rock era. Colin Hay and all of Men At Work did very well by way of this song that still stirs from young to old.

      ​@@MsZoedog66Men At Work had "Down Under" as their largest hit that dates back 42 years to the early 1980s. However, they had other huge hits that went internationally, such as "it Is A Mistake", "Who Can It Be Now?", and "Overkill", among others. Colin Hay and his band Men At Work did very well with those as well.

    Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
    On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
    I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
    She took me in and gave me breakfast
    And she said
    "Do you come from a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder?
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover"
    Buying bread from a man in Brussels
    He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
    I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
    He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
    And he said
    "I come from a land down under
    Where beer does flow and men chunder
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover, yeah"
    Lying in a den in Bombay
    With a slack jaw and not much to say
    I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me?
    Because I come from the land of plenty"
    And he said
    Oh, "Do you come from a land down under? (Oh, yeah-yeah)
    Where women glow and men plunder?
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover", 'cause we are
    Living in a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder (yeah)
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (Thunder)
    You better-better run, you better take cover
    Living in a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? Ooh, yeah
    You better run, you better take cover
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can't you, can't you hear the thunder? (Can't you, can't you hear the thunder?)
    You better run, you better take cover
    Living in a land down under (living in a land down under)
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can't you, can't you hear the thunder?
