Colin Hay Performs "Down Under" at the 2022 Melbourne Cup

Enjoyed singing my party piece at the Melbourne Cup. Took a punt, but did not back a winner. Looking forward to my upcoming tour of this great land.

[@wayneranson8763]

Still hits the notes.... the man is amazing!!!!

[@JustAnotherCover]

Oh, yeah

[@jamirimaj6880]

the thing is the original song has a lower key than his live version

[@wayneranson8763]

@@jamirimaj6880 totally wrong mate. Have a listen to the original album version... it's in Bm and so is this version.

[@MrBlurpBlurp-hg3dj]

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.

[@lokxxxv]

This gave me chills 😎 I love the Aussies Nathing like the land down under 🍻

[@danao1796]

The world needs more Colin Hay!

[@bernadetteapps9303]

Yes.

[@geoffreybreasley9845]

Give it rest Hay

[@stephenroche5107]

Listen to the best days of my life very sad but shows is versitality brilliant musician loved them since 1983.

[@macaroo0]

I think so too

[@terra2468]

The world needs more Colin Hay! and less trudeau

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Rise for Australia's National Anthem.

[@pacboe]

at the flute riff at 3:15 I noticed your smile and I remember (the much admired) Mr Greg HAM...

[@scottmatznick3140]

That power in his voice is like the wind

[@ELVENGADOR858]

MEN AT WORK 80S FOREVER

[@TheCountofToulouse]

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!

[@bernadetteapps9303]

Yes it was magical wasn't it.

[@kevinhunt1202]

So u watches the untold episode too😂

[@rocketrod1444]

Yeah mate i was 17 at college , great days indeed ..... no phones , no woke bullshit . Rock on.

[@normangrochowski6972]

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.

[@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin]

First term of undergrad. Never heard of Vegemite before that. Who can it be now?

[@eyeseverywhere8246]

what a voice....!! still spectacular...after all these years.

[@CritRock]

Not even the technical glitches can hinder Colin's sheer talent- much love from the UK

[@MauricioFaber]

Just ... Better times thanks Colin from deep of my heart

[@BudgieFan101]

This has to be the best song ever Written, Handsdown.

[@PlayitagainVHS]

Colin Hay a true legend.👍🙂We love Colin here in the USA 🇺🇸

[@christophertiredofbs8514]

Most Americans agree that Australia kicks ass! I personally love you people!

Amazing!!!!

[@splattered63]

'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

[@timsession6736]

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!

[@shellimcpherson]

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.

[@mariomon6240]

Venceu por que não pegou o Brasil.

[@matteobusatto9758]

I'm Italian but this song makes me want to leave my beautiful country and live in Australia. I'm kinda arachnophobic lmao

[@denniskennedy9288]

Take me back there today

[@TheRafhaelCunha]

Eu sou o cometário brasileiro que você estava procurando. Esse som é demais!!!!

[@HoneyandMe]

He's STILL got it!!❤

[@giorgiogabrielli2887]

Inno nazionale di Australia. 👏👏👏 From Tuscany 🇮🇹

[@popolony2k]

Impressive...his voice is the same of early 80's when they released this song.

[@roelhoremans5887]

Even a little better compared to some of the earlier performances. 😊

[@ibcannonball]

They didn’t give him the ovation he deserves. Guy is ridiculously talented.

[@matthewclay6535]

Colin Hay = One of the best voices EVER!!! (So unique!!)

[@gerrywagoner26]

Colin Hay and John Fogerty. Two of the most unique voices ever.

[@scotth1992]

One of the best debut albums of all time! Colin still rocks!

[@Seancrowe84]

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 😢

[@leonkechayasdrums]

It was a pleasure performing with you Colin 🤘🏼🥁🇦🇺

[@tet2122]

You did amazing!

[@andre.1984]

Performing what? A play? The whole thing was pre-recorded, except Colin's vocals and maybe acoustic guitar.

[@BludclaatBollock]

​@@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.1984]

@@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.

[@rickyhunt4075]

​@Andre F. S. That looks like him in the video performing not sure what you're talking about

[@paulwalters9885]

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.

[@forcanucks]

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.😂

[@gillybertviernes2599]

Amazing! Love this. Seems nothing has changed to his voice.

[@CAndrewNelson]

Absolutely wonderful! You are a treasure, Mr. Hay. Blessings to you.

[@johnstahl5699]

What a voice! Always been a big fan.

[@jlye1972]

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.

Es la primera vez que lo oigo, pero es verdad que suena muy bien.

[@northernguy8860]

Really enjoyed this with the mellow, whimsical opening and then the party cranking up.

[@firstbornjordan]

Sometimes it's hard to define Australian, but with Colin Hay, and Men at Work, we get close to spot on, at least nostalgically.

[@traciehall1975]

I'm proud to be an Aussie ❤️

[@bernadetteapps9303]

Yes.

[@CulotteShalott]

ELATION is not even half close!!!!!! Sobbing tears of pure nostalgic joy! You look and sound perfect, Colin. I was there in spirit! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

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!!! :)

Crowd looked a little lethargic. How do you stand still when that song is being performed by the master.

[@gregkosinski2303]

This is their national anthem. No one is out twerking when the Star Spangled Banner plays.

[@Yarba]

​@@gregkosinski2303I'm pretty sure this is not their National anthem, that's Waltzing Matilda.

[@Donyourmom]

@@gregkosinski2303this is most definitely not their national anthem, but it should be.

I saw Men At Work many yrs. ago in Richmond, Va. for $5.00. They were great. I even got to meet Colin Hay. After the show he came out and mingled with the audience. Miss those concerts at Innsbrook ❤
