Men at Work: Down Under
(3 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Loading ...Here’s one of the top 3 videos from the 1980’s without any doubt. This reggae influenced new wave pop hit came from the quirky Australian group Men at Work from their Business as Usual album. The lyrics are about an Australian traveler circling the globe, proud of his nationality and about his interactions with people he meets on his travels who are interested in his home country. One of the verses refers to Vegemite sandwiches, among other things, and this particular lyric has become a well-known phrase. The flute part in the song is based around the tune of “Kookaburra”, a well-known Australian children’s rhyme.
