I’ve heard this song x almost 40years and no “overkill” of it yet 🙄
I know !!! It's one of those songs I never, ever got tired of. Briliant lyrics and melody, driving beat and more hooks than one song should be able to handle.
Beautiful Song
Al Bundy is badass haha. Kidding. Always loved Men At Work
I’ve struggled with anxiety all of my life and this song was the only one that spoke to me about this. It’s my solace.
I hope you are doing well. Well done on speaking out Sir.
Be well, Rudy. It’s a beautiful song.
First of all, whoever mic'ed the drums is amazing, they sound great. Also, the soprano sax (clarinet?) is perfect, and the vocals are so good―I can't get over how well Colin can still sing. Thanks Colin and the band.
His voice has lost nothing. What a star.
100%! Amazing. And the harmonization is just perfect!! And when the guitar and sax sync up at the end of the solo.... Still gives me goosebumps. This version is tight, and spot on!!
Love it! Everything sounds nice and crisp. The man is a beast with vocals.
Jesus! 40 later, the same voice, the same sound, of sure, the one of the most beautifull song ever! Love this song, love you Colin and MAW for makes me happy every day that I listening this amazing song! Bless you all !🤩🤩🤩🙏🙏👍👍👏👏
Thank you Colin this is my favorite song from men at work. I really enjoy that. Thanks brother. 🙏
Colin Hay ....overkill GREAT SONG !!!! Cecilia Noel second voices amazing both of you... greatings from Argentina !!!
That orange Duesenberg, oh my! Way to go Colin Hay absolutely loving this! At 50 now I still love my favourite band Men at Work!
Same with me,only I'm 52!😎
I'm 53. 😉
Glad you're still kicking and making music. P.S Get your ass to Seattle! :)
The harmony vocals here are just beautiful!. ✌🏻❤️
Love this song! Thank you Colin Hay.
I remember the day I listened the first time to this song on the radio. I loved it from the first second...many years have passed and I love it still...all the versions. Thank you, Colin for this marvellous song. Since then many goats appeared and faded away. ;)
Hey Charlie,
In 1982, you were probably just a new born when this song was released... 😉
But, ok, I can understand you liked when you heard it for the first. You're a fan as I am...
BTW, these are not goats (Ziegen) that fade away but rather ghosts (Geister)... 😉😉
These live sessions bring new life to alrrady timelessly wonderful songs. Thank you Colin
High sensations 🎉
Love this man ! Can still hit those high notes , God bless . Love the song ..Love that the new band keeping it tight ....Men at work kept me sane in the eighties and still does today . 🎸👍🏼❤️
Lovely presentation as always Colin. I like the take on it here. I still like the original version better, simply because it, the whole album, the band, all of it, was such a huge part of my youth. I was a teen at the time, just seeing the world partly through adult eyes, all new things, scary, and wonderful. This song, and the whole album, captured that moment for me. It will forever be a huge part of the soundtrack to my "awakening" into the adult world. Brilliant.
Mais uma música espetacular 😍..
Agora é só esperar e curtir A vontade...
" Men At Work Overkill ".
aqui e de 👉 ( Juazeiro do Norte Ceará ) Brasil 🙌
Your playing live for us each Monday is an amazing and delightful gift. A great reason for me to love Mondays! Much warmth to you and this band Colin!
Amazing live version!!!! Absolute GREAT!!!!! See you and your pretty wife......!!!! Phantastic, and all best wishes to you two......!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍😜😄
Such an amazing song !
I had a vest just like that one, lost it some 25 years ago somewhere in Melbourne.... If you got it at The Op shop then I'll know....Good taste anyway. (Edit) or perhaps its just imagination...
This song is truly a gift to us all. Thanks Colin!
Thank you , Colin❣️From Japan.
I love all the stuff from the first 2 albums but this is the best Men at Work song by far, imo.
My favourite men at work song and played so well that it gave me goosebumps!! Thanks to all of you ❤️😊
um dos melhores músicos que eu já escutei e amo de paixão essa voz absurda!
Esse é o tipo de evento que vale a pena aguardar. ( Itaoca Praia, ES / Brasil )
certamente, andarilho! e que sonzera a de hoje... (sp-brasil)
Tem previsão deles virem ao Brasil?
What a classy voice. Not lost anything. So impressive, thanks for the songs Colin!
Love this song!Still my favorite song from "Cargo" and one of my favorite tunes in general.Hauntingly beautiful!
Indeed it's hauntingly...well you know, goats appear and fade away... ;)
@@charlieranger4598 No kidding,lol!Yes,I think they did a good job this week,don't you?;D
@@starletohara1631 Who, the goats? 🤭
@@charlieranger4598 Lol!Yes,the goats..and The band was pretty good,too!😁
@@charlieranger4598 John Prine used to tell a story about the audience requesting a song of his "Half An Enchilada". He finally figured out they wanted to hear "Half an inch of water and I think I'm going to drown." I remember that along with Colin's "goat" requests!
Lo más chingon y clasico que puede haber en música sin importar el idioma👍
My absolute favorite...thanks for writing,singing,continuing to evolve and perform it over the years. The best piece of overwriting ever
Congrats from Brazil!!❤👏👏👏
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implication
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variatios
It nullifies the night
From overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations that
I know will be alright
It's just overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
That was beautiful it gets me every time I love that tune as to be one of my all time favourite songs I remember back in the eighties waiting for the record shop to open the day it was released rushing home to play it on a record player ,not like nowadays you just download it ...
Thank you Colin and the band xx
Fine wine Colin! This is one of the best written songs ever. Right up there with a Beatles masterpiece. Good job bringing light to the fact that we are all human with anxieties, fears, depression... Some times, it's all too much... Overkill. Peace out🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Colin is coming to my town!
I love this song sooooooo much. I have a 45 from back in the day that gets frequent rotation on my turntable. Such a beautiful song! Still gives me goosebumps. 💖💖💖
Top 👍💪👏👏
Beautiful song and great musicians! Greetings from Brazil. ♥️
Scotland's finest 🏴🙋♂️ #ColinHay
Fuck off with that shite. Scotland’s finest. Meaningless and divisive. Oh look! David Byrne of Talking Heads was born in Scotland that must mean that I’m great too. I’m Scottish. Please stop peddling this idea that just because someone who has happened to be born in Scotland somehow applies to your own abilities. I’m so fucking tired of Nationalism.
@@Bricameron Um ... doesn't it just mean JJ thinks Colin is Scotland's finest eg finest musical export? Like "Scotland's Finest Whisky" or "England's Finest Cheese"?
@@ScottieInspired Probably.
@@Bricameron Nice babble bro. The soy's gone straight to your brain.
@@Davuitar Whoosh! I had thought I had done something wrong.
The highlight of my UA-cam week and then some. Please keep it going and hope to see you live in London soon 🤞
I’m seeing the goats too 👀
Absolutely amazing song.
Fantastic! I bought the sheet music for the so I could learn to play it on My Guitar when I was about 16? It's been so long, one of my favorites of your masterpieces! Love the video!
And the good memories come flooding back...
Perfect 😢
Super!
Awesome sounds great how good does the mix sound. Colins vocals and guitar sounds spectacular
Colin is the best! Love his songs!
This is an overkill song that carry still the same spirit as 40 years ago. 👍👍
La historia de mi vida... Muchas gracias Colin & Amigos... MEN AT WORK. 08.08.2021

Colin hay. Gosto muito só tem big músic. Parabéns . Vou morrer ouvindo sua canções.
Magic
Such a great piece from the 80s
Not sure if you actually see these comments Colin, but my Father who passed away 11 years ago absolutely loved Men at Work. He wanted to see you in concert very badly but didn't get the chance. I love Men at Work and your music just as much..however back in the heyday, the 80's I was very much into hair bands and metal. Your music was our common ground. When I outgrew the metal and hair bands faded away, this stood the test of time.
I hear you may be coming near me in Hammondsport NY...I'll have to look into that to see if the rumor is true. Thank you for giving us decades of music and sharing your gift. As a guitarist/singer myself I appreciate how much it means.
my deepest condolences
When I heard you do this song solo on acoustic guitar solo, it won my heart. But now I welcome back that full sound and its joy. You got me hooked either way.
Thank you, then and still. Cheers.
Fantástico.... quando vem para Brasil? How can to Brazil???
I've been listening to Men at Work since I was a kid ... I'm so very impressed with all of the musicians you have with you now and especially you Colin Hayes your voice has not changed really since I was a kid and listening to your albums. You're an amazing musician and the lyrics really hit home for me for sure.
One of the greatest songs of the 80's
Sou brasileiro sou fã desse cara dessa banda. (Sergipe Brasil. )
This was absolutely amazing. What a phenomenal way to start off the week. Hope Men At Work Mondays last forever... Thanks for sharing! :)
1st time I heard this song was in Voortrekkerhoogter Pretoria South Africa during National Service basic training 1983 , Wow
I'm I the first to notice the fabulous Sheila Gonzalez on keys and serprano sax ...?
*DOWN UNDEEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!* (next)
I remember the times in the 80s when Men At Work were the hottest band around. Those times were very high times back then. There wasnt as much sex as i would of liked but there was plenty of the other two! Thankyou Colin and the great Men At Work. I love hearing and seein Colin thesedays.
One of my favorites! It resonates with me even more as an adult.....
Understanding the meanings i didn't as a child. The sign of a well written song. It grows along with you and can offer company and understanding on those lonely days and melancholy nights. Sincerely.......thank you Collin.
Superb! Great guitar work, too. ( Is this Men and Women At Work? ☺️)
My favorite version of this is by far Colin's solo acoustic off of Man @ Work
Wonderful. Thank you.
Fortunately, I didn't see 'that guitarist' anywhere on stage.
And RIP, Mr. Hamm.
we need to bring this band back to Italy , asap
What a banging choon this is ……and a fab performance of it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Keep hitting those high notes, Colin! Overkill, forever!
That was cool to watch. He still got it man. 🎸
Great up tempo rock version.
I'm Peruvian, what's the name of the choir girl?
The pipes are sounding stellar. Thanks Mate
Colin sings like he did 40 yrs ago. Amazing. Or Bloody Good.
Superb Colin, each version of this great song seems to have something unique to make you feel as if it's the first time you hear it...
2024 😎👂🏼🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That voice is just spectacular. Nice to see the guitar goes to 11
