    This tune transports me directly back to '83. God Bless those talented boys!

    This song brings me back to a good feeling as a young kid. I see the meaning in it now as an adult, which makes it even cooler. I’ve always loved this band.

    This song will stay relevant until the end of time, literally. Fabulous song and I think this is the best version of it. I know the fellas in the band probably don't like each other that much now but I think all of them were fantastic. Men At Work are a truly great band. It's horrible that Greg passed so young.

    This Jewel of a song brings me back to my 13th birthday in 1983. I used my b-day gift $$ to buy this amazing album. Of course, in vinyl back then. I must have played it a million times and guess what? Here we are 41 years later and it’s still as enjoyable and relevant, I may add. LOVE the 80’s. Proud GenXer. Love Men at Work!

      I was also 13 back in 1983. I used my paper route money to but this vinyl album. I still have all the MAW vinyl albums. A few years ago I seen Colin Hay in concert in Bloomington, Indiana. After the concert he was signing autographs, which was awesome. It was great to actually meet him almost 40 years after I first heard him sing with MAW. MAW is still my favorite band.

    My stepbrother and i listened to this concert, shoot, the whole weekend as 10yo's at a campground in Deland, FL. It was being broadcasted over a local radio station.... we'll never have that stuff again.

    I've heard this song when the sun was going down and the street lights were turning on in Phoenix. I've never forgot the mood especially being 12 at the time. Still a awesome song.

    This is what I like to see and listen to!
    A REAL band REALLY playing and REALLY singing REALLY live, without playbacks, autotune and all that SH!T, that all the " SINGERS" of these days, can´t stop using!!
    And what it´s really wonderful is that the song sounded just almost like the original track!! Only a very few differences that made us realize, that they were really playing.
    It´s so frustrating to go to a "concert", where they use all the time autotune and playback. and the most frustrating thing is when you want to listen to the band or the singer playing and singing, but they use to be quiet and put the microphone in the air, so the audience can sing theirselves. If I would want to sing myself, I WOULD GO TO A KARAOKE!! I don´t want to buy an expensive concert ticket to sing karaoke! And some of those "singers" who come only to make us sing ourselves, don´t stop making us sing, but they continue doing it almost through the whole song!
    Here´s an example:
    ua-cam.com/video/i4Xl7UvUq_I/v-deo.html
    But what a great band Men at Work was! I still have one of their albums, that it has the best of their songs, and I still listen to it.

    Uma letra de melodia doce, tom suave, e até "alegre" mas que carrega um significado bem profundo tratado por eles através da ironia e humor ácido.
    Que banda genial.
    O solo de guitarra me transporta diretamente pra esse tempo 😵‍💫

      Yeah after their 2nd album I feel they shifted to heavily towards a more western sound. They already had that unique Australian charm to their songs beforehand. Which is why the port album will always be my favorite
