Men At Work - Down Under (Countdown 1981)

"Countdown was a big show in Australia. It broke bands nationally and internationally sometimes. It was a show where people mimed their songs, and I wanted to make it obvious by singing into a golf club." - Colin
Flashback to a 1981 live performance of "Down Under" on Australia's music television series Countdown! ⚠ 🎶 #MenAtWork #ColinHay #80s

Love it! My opinion, one of the most underrated bands ever, with one of the best voices leading them. Colin James Hay, what a wonderful name. What a wonderful guy. If I had a son, I wanted to name him Colin James, that's how much I admired him.

[@KonradvonHotzendorf]

Name one other good song they had 🤔

[@peleador8856]

No lo creo..hasta hoydia se escuchan. Saludos🇨🇱🔥

Desde Venezuela y aún así con este bendito c#nflicto acá estoy escuchando este bendito clásico que me entero que salió cuando yo tenía 4 años y aún me sigue dando ánimos ❤

I've been a DJ for nearly 40 years, a club DJ for 25, and I was a Billboard Magazine Club and Dance Chart DJ for 18. To this day, this remains my favorite song of all time. I remember being in a club in Piccadilly Circus when I was 15 and asking the DJ to play the song, as it was new and I just heard it a couple days prior for the first time. This song and that experience was life changing.

[@BrendaDrumm]

Loved the song from day one here in coventry im now 74 ❤

[@rogertemple7193]

Men at Work was one of my favorite 80's bands.🇦🇺

[@FELIPEGARCIA-fk6zx]

Men at Work made a good dent in my life back in the eighties 80's.. Nostalgia ! Nostalgia !! ❤

[@foxwolf316]

It's great to see an early live performance of them in 1981

[@JohnJan721]

It's lipsync.

[@ChristosNikiforos]

How did they built the microphone into that golf club? It's brilliant.

[@CharlieDontStop]

I love men at work and i dont really see anyone else who likes them

[@adamkowalski9559]

Find the real friends.

[@joepermenter7228]

They only had 4 songs and lasted 2 albums....according to the public.

[@ismailekamara1237]

One of my favorite songs ever!

[@foxwolf316]

Bass player sitting on a chair relax The drummer lifting weights without playing the drums I Love It Colin singing with a golf club and bouncing like a bunny classic Greg playing the flute nice Ron who says you have to play the guitar on tv we're just having fun with all are fans we don't have to play if it's a recording

The 80s were such goofy fun.

[@bpwiebe]

People clapping and dancing in the audience instead of all holding phones!

[@useall7665]

Phones killed real happyness.

[@OldGuyHere]

MTV changed everything with the multitude of videos they played...........you just watched one.

[@jamesvalvis1131]

@@OldGuyHere MTV launched in 1981, probably slightly before this came out. There was music on TV long before then, from the earliest days of television. This was not an MTV music video. The one that ran on MTV is easy enough to find.
