View Full Version : Favorite Men At Work Song
Iluvthe80s 3-03-02, 09:10 AM What is your favorite Men At Work song? If you pick "Other" please say what song you picked.
Mine would have to be "Overkill". It is sad that it is never played as much as "Who Can It Be Now?" and "Down Under".
Sara Smile 3-03-02, 09:22 AM I only know Down under so that will be my favorite Men At Work song. :) :) :)
I voted for "Who Can It Be Now", they are all good songs from Men At Work (who were here in town a couple days ago), but the saxophone in the song is what draws me in! :thumb:
Valley Dude 3-03-02, 10:44 AM Down by the Sea is my current favorite. It's so mellow and groovy, sort of a treasure trove of musical ideas. There's this sax that's kind of lingering around in the background, and some great bass work.
I love their other songs too, but I've heard 'em like a million times :goofy:
djdaffy1227 3-03-02, 10:46 AM "Be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, Johnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyy" :lol: I love it!
scott28883 3-03-02, 10:55 AM I picked dr heckyle and mr jive. I really like all the other songs but this particular song I never hear until i bought there best of cd and since it was really new to me, its fresh and new to me. plus its kind of jivy:lol: :p
COOL BREEZE 3-03-02, 11:35 AM Had to go with "Be Good Johnny"! From it's quite beginning to its powerful ending and everything inbetween including Colin's snotty school boy imitation its awesome!Don't get me wrong I really like all of their stuff!
COOL BREEZE
"Ah, Than ya must gonna be playin cricket this year then are ya Johnny? Nah! Nah! Nah!"
80sTrivia 3-03-02, 03:42 PM I voted for "It's a Mistake"; not the biggest of their 80s hits here in the States and it's the one you hear least often on the radio... :)
fiya kraka 3-03-02, 03:48 PM "Who can it be now" I use to love that song!:)
Christine 3-03-02, 05:56 PM Of course, "Land Down Under"! That song is classic. :D
angeleyes25 3-03-02, 09:19 PM I only heard Who Can it be Now and Down Under.I went with Down Under.
Dancingdoll1986 3-03-02, 10:24 PM I went with Down Under.....in 8th grade, I was in our swing choir, and when we went anywhere on the bus, someone was always playing that tape on the boom box!! Fond memories!! *sigh*:D
Roemello 3-03-02, 11:29 PM I went with Down Under....second would probably be Who Can it Be Now. Although, I'd like that one better if someone actually sung that parody I posted a while back...'I've Got to Pee Now' :lol::lol:
space-invader 3-04-02, 04:54 AM down under is where it's at! :D
If I ever make a list of "the 25 songs I'd take with me to a desert island", it's sure that "Down under" will be included.
80sTrivia 3-04-02, 08:25 AM No big surprise here that "Down Under" has run away with this poll, seeing it was their biggest international hit! :)
I like Men at Work. They were a bunch of weirdos.:goofy: My favorite song is "Down Under" also.

Yeah, but Colin Hayes was a cool weirdo.
I went for It's a mistake. MY FAVOURITE SONG OF ALL TIMES!!!!!
Just check my profile and you will see. :D
Nikki_91 3-07-02, 08:58 PM That was a close one for me, I went with "Overkill"..that's definitely my fave, my second choice was "Who Can It Be Now". I love all their songs on the greatest hits CD.
Greenway88 4-15-02, 11:35 AM Overkill, followed by It's a Mistake and Down Under
Steve Savicki 4-15-02, 05:31 PM "Who Can It Be Now?"
Only good song they did... only song that had a real rock n' roll feel to it.
Roemello 5-06-02, 02:56 PM bumping up due to reposting of the same poll :cool:
80s hair 5-06-02, 05:39 PM "Overkill"
Shortie Blonde 5-06-02, 05:55 PM "DOWN UNDER"!!!!!! nothing more, nothing less: the song kicks 80s ass!!!!!!!!!!
"Down Under" was my favorite. I liked the way the flute was used in the song.

Down Under. It reminds me of sun, drinks and warm beaches. :) :)
Prefab Sprouter 7-22-03, 10:37 AM I wasnt a huge fan of this band but I must admit that I did like "Its a Mistake".
LOSTNTHE80S 7-22-03, 10:02 PM WHO CAN IT BE NOW??
(I must give credit to IT'S A MISTAKE also..good song)
Bon Jovi 3-15-04, 04:16 AM #1.) Down Under

app4dstn 3-15-04, 10:16 AM it's a mistake
Markusgamer 3-27-04, 02:23 PM Down under is like a dream :clap:
But overkill and Where can it be now are also super :thumb:
Down Under even though it kept the incredible Vienna from reaching the top of the charts
old80rooster 4-14-04, 03:12 AM Love all men at work, still have to vote for it's a mistake.
Glenn Gulia 4-14-04, 12:13 PM Down under
BCRichRocker4JC 4-15-04, 08:51 PM I voted for "It's a mistake". But it was hard choosing since they haved a lot of great songs that bring back a lot of memories.
SouthernImage 4-16-04, 01:45 PM Be good Johnny.
Sonny Crockett 4-16-04, 02:23 PM I picked Down Under. I-like-it-a-loh !
shortcakegrl27 4-21-04, 03:49 PM I always like who can it be now :thumb:
Canadian80s 7-06-04, 09:47 PM Be Good Johnny ... the chorus is so catchy !
C80's
DJ Midas 7-22-04, 10:17 AM "Overkill" followed by "Be Good Johnny"
galaga-girl 7-22-04, 06:27 PM I chose Down Under with Who Can It Be Now at a close second :thumb:
PaperGirl 7-22-04, 10:05 PM Land Down Under.......OMG the men from Thunder Down Under make that song even better!!
"It's a Mistake" It bring back some fantastic memories.
Took "Down Under" as my pick - wasn't really into this band that much, but I like this tune!
whistledog 7-28-04, 02:43 PM I chose It's A Mistake because the title pretty much sums up their career :laugh: I am only kidding :lol: .
I pretty much enjoyed the whole Cargo LP. Wayy better than the Business as Usual LP
Brand1974 7-28-04, 03:07 PM I chose Overkill, but like a lot of their songs!
Overkill --- I have their best of as well. I loved it when Colin Hay was on Scrubs...That was a great episode!
