I'll never forget the year 1983. Australia wins the America's cup and it was at the same time this song was HUGE. The team adopted it as their theme song. What a year!
Far Out hearing that. When I first heard it, it immediately took my mind's visions to Australia and the Mystery and Beauty of the Land and people down there. I could see the Aborigine tribes, flying Boomerangs, leaping Kangaroos, and Outback people. It was the feeling that the music evoked in me.
I remember doing Karaoke with my friend Donard to this song he bailed half way through and some Asian guy I never met named Sunny took over and we crushed the high notes. By the end the entire bar were on the seats shouting “One More Song”. I hope Sunny is doing good wherever he is 😢
'83 what a blast - Australia wins the America Cup to the sound of Men at Work. I don't want to sound like an old man but the music, the vibe, life seemed alot more free, a lot less judgemental and a lot more carefree. Take us back to those days with this classic by Colin - the funniest man I've ever heard in a pub behind a microphone
People used to care about principles based in "personal sovereignty", meaning their ability to live life by the rules without the centralized control of government interfering in everyday individual's lives. Now a days it's a global hivemind principle called "world goodwill", it's occult in it's nature and bad for the outlook of independents and individuals. At least, I think that's what has changed, I'd be happy if someone could tell me differently. Take care!
I was a teen in the 80s. I, and other friends from that era, also feel that society was much less judgmental and free. We were free to speak our minds without fear of being cancelled or shouted down. I remember being carefree, playing outside 'til after dark, and watching actual music videos on MTV. Loved the 80s, still do. I'm honestly grieving what we lost.
Sorry, I didn't know he is a Scot. He gives Rod the Mod a run for the money in the unique voice sing-off of your fair land. As a Canadian, I know many of our talented performers are presumed to be Yanks.😂
@@BludclaatBollock Haven't you watched TV performances before? Haven't you been in a real live concert before? Do you play any instrument? Because, if you have any experience with those, it will be easy for you to see that they're using a backing track.
Colin Hay, you are a true legend my friend and will always have that special part of my life from when we were all living just that much easier.. Thanks for the memories legend.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
40 AÑOS HAN TRANSCURRIDO DE EL LANZAMIENTO DE ESTA CANCION Y ME SIGUE FASCINANDO. PARA MI UNA DE LAS MEJORES CANCIONES EN LA HISTORIA DE LA MUSICA CONTEMPORANEA. GRANDE LA VOZ DE COLIN HAY. SUPER ESTA VERSION ACTUALIZADA AUNQUE AÑORO EL SOLO DE LA FLAUTA DEL GRAN GREG HAM Q.E.P.D. MEN AT WORK FOREVER.
I have tried the Vegemite, Colin. It's going to take time to get used to this. But I have tried it. The bucket list gets shorter. When I hit Oz I will be visiting 1 Vegemite Way and I will tell them that your song drew me there. Vegemite's slogan should be "Less is more" and their honorary chairman should be the great Colin Hay!!! :)
Just home from Colin Hay's gig at Brisbane's Powerhouse... what can I say?..... fabulous night... awesome performance from a man who has always had a great voice, beautiful guitar skills and unbelievably gets better with age....
We saw him live on stage with his acoustic guitar last night in the UK. Fabulous!!!! What a voice what a songwriter. He finished the set with Down Under but there is so much more to his genius that just that massive song.
I saw him with ringo’s all star band. Man, he sings so great, his voice sounded so great, like time has not affected him at all. Those were actual artists!
Giant Colin...I coudn.t see you in festival song Viña del Mar...I watched in T.V....you are a very good singer...your group is excellent.....I like the lyrics of everyone of your songs..Thanks for your music....From CHILE
Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Rise for Australia's National Anthem.
Still hits the notes.... the man is amazing!!!!
Oh, yeah
the thing is the original song has a lower key than his live version
@@jamirimaj6880 totally wrong mate. Have a listen to the original album version... it's in Bm and so is this version.
Yea mate he's doin' it at a high note for his age, awesome. I couldn't it myself at this age and reduced a semi-tone.
This gave me chills 😎
I love the Aussies
Nathing like the land down under 🍻
The world needs more Colin Hay!
Yes.
Give it rest Hay
Listen to the best days of my life very sad but shows is versitality brilliant musician loved them since 1983.
I think so too
The world needs more Colin Hay! and less trudeau
MEN AT WORK 80S FOREVER
I'll never forget the year 1983. Australia wins the America's cup and it was at the same time this song was HUGE. The team adopted it as their theme song. What a year!
Yes it was magical wasn't it.
So u watches the untold episode too😂
Yeah mate i was 17 at college , great days indeed ..... no phones , no woke bullshit . Rock on.

First term of undergrad. Never heard of Vegemite before that.
Who can it be now?
That power in his voice is like the wind
what a voice....!! still spectacular...after all these years.
Not even the technical glitches can hinder Colin's sheer talent- much love from the UK
They didn’t give him the ovation he deserves. Guy is ridiculously talented.
Amazing!!!!
Você por aqui Man? Kkkk
yee
Ao Fábio Lima aí kk

Venceu por que não pegou o Brasil.
I'm Italian but this song makes me want to leave my beautiful country and live in Australia. I'm kinda arachnophobic lmao
Take me back there today
Colin Hay a true legend.👍🙂We love Colin here in the USA 🇺🇸
One of the best debut albums of all time! Colin still rocks!
He's STILL got it!!❤
Eu sou o cometário brasileiro que você estava procurando. Esse som é demais!!!!
Colin James is one of the best ever....!!!!! Love him and his songs for eternity!!!!!!!!!
at the flute riff at 3:15 I noticed your smile and I remember (the much admired) Mr Greg HAM...
Colin Hay = One of the best voices EVER!!! (So unique!!)
Colin Hay and John Fogerty. Two of the most unique voices ever.
Scotland maybe a small country where I live but we gave the World so many exports and Colin Hay is one of them. He sounds absolutely amazing.
Sorry, I didn't know he is a Scot. He gives Rod the Mod a run for the money in the unique voice sing-off of your fair land. As a Canadian, I know many of our talented performers are presumed to be Yanks.😂
Absolutely wonderful! You are a treasure, Mr. Hay. Blessings to you.
Amazing! Love this. Seems nothing has changed to his voice.
It was a pleasure performing with you Colin 🤘🏼🥁🇦🇺
You did amazing!
Performing what? A play? The whole thing was pre-recorded, except Colin's vocals and maybe acoustic guitar.
@@andre.1984 Bro you're really trying to correct a guy who was there on the day, on the stage, in this video? Hahahahahahahaha

@Andre F. S. That looks like him in the video performing not sure what you're talking about
I was born within a mile of Colin in Glasgow, Scotland. Amazing voice...
Impressive...his voice is the same of early 80's when they released this song.
Even a little better compared to some of the earlier performances. 😊
Wow, biggest version of this untouchable song I've heard. Lotta great versions of it out there. This is on that list. Awesome moment for him live.
The absolute finest imported talent Australia has ever known…Colin’s solo albums are my most treasured songs in my collection of 1000 albums.
Colin Hay, you are a true legend my friend and will always have that special part of my life from when we were all living just that much easier.. Thanks for the memories legend.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

He's remarkable live. Just saw him. That crowd needs to get up...what a gem they're seeing and he won't be here forever!! Cherish Colin!
Looking and sounding better than ever Colin.
Sometimes it's hard to define Australian, but with Colin Hay, and Men at Work, we get close to spot on, at least nostalgically.
O cara ainda canta muito !
Incrível.
Love you Colin. Brazil will always remember you
Amazing. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
Our "all time classic" song of our 80's youth!
