[@michaelsodde]

To be able to sing that 3rd verse in the original key in your late sixties is nothing short of incredible. He makes the C#5 look easy (TOO deep)😮 Colin is amazing, I can’t wait to see him live. 😍

[@bruceshark5501]

He is amazing. Sounds just perfect. I am jealous....have fun.

[@edlicari3909]

Cause he’s the real deal! 👍

[@christopherlamb7386]

Colin Hay is simply an amazing performer......... That's it!!!!

[@free322001]

Bono and Plant can't do it anymore.

[@GuerreroS144]

He's a tenor and his voice is high of course, but he has always had excellent technique. too.

[@WhiplashPresents]

40 years on and Colin’s voice is still golden!

[@nurwerbung219]

still the same afer 40 Years, That's what good artist matters

[@reaperthemad8731]

That's because he gave up the drink and those nasty cigarettes

[@diogobolan2947]

Pure talent

[@edleonard9194]

Colin Hay is criminally underrated!

[@DrLumpy]

If you think he's underrated, buy his album.

[@RJG322]

the only artist ive seen the most live

[@andersonxistosantana9016]

From Brazil..Man at work...Very good

[@thenightowl7712]

Scrubs introduced me to so many amazing songs throughout its seasons. I love that Colin actually shows up in a couple of episodes for cameos 👌🏾

[@TylerInAZ]

I think its fantastic how when he messed up he just laughed it off and kept going, also when they all clapped at the improvised bit that was incredible lol

[@wheres_bears1378]

That guitarist was bad from start to finish no sense of timing whatsoever, must have been hungover

[@90whatever]

That is decades of experience kicking in and just pushing through to the next bar with some improv and picking it back up. Cool to see.

[@Ciathos]

Rick Springfield was never known for his guitar skills!@@wheres_bears1378

[@ilaser4064]

@@wheres_bears1378 glad I wasn't the only one cringing, even the guy on the right was bemused at the end and wondering what he was doing. 3:40

[@free322001]

No cheater. No auto tune. Hits the HIGH note of the song, Beautiful guitar.... played beautifully. Cheers, Mate.

[@merlin5420]

Colin’s guitar solos are so underrated

[@jdthomas8850]

I've seen Colin Hay twice in the last year on his 'Men At Work Tour' .. still sounds as good as ever and his voice still reaches the stratosphere on Overkill.

[@jackdedert2945]

I love this song, this album, this artist. The first Men at Work album was a gem. It was the last piece of music which I shared with my late brother. We were working on our respective car stereos, and I played a bit as a test. He went straight out and bought the album on cassette (it was 1985). He passed a few years later at 44. In our adolescence during the 60s, we listened to Top-40 music avidly and discussed all the new releases. I just realized this was the last bit of music we really bonded over. Eyes leaking.....

[@vanomaden]

True musicians, no pro tools, AI pitch corrections, etc., even wrong notes, and proper laughter. Fantastic. This is how music should be performed. Loving it!!

[@haggler]

AI pitch corrections? 😂 you mean auto tune that’s been around since long before auto tune

[@alexsherel3344]

Still airbrush….THIS is real life musicians…no what’s on the majority of radio now….

[@edbernardmusic3599]

Colin never has a problem with that high C#. He's a real singer.

[@evflorybarnes]

2:49-51 is the vocal litmus test. When Colin hits the note and leans into it, there's nothing like it . And immediately the appreciation at 2:52 follows.

[@michaelsodde]

He hits that C#5 like it’s nothing 😮

[@fonefilms]

I concur. Octave up from the start.

[@1georgekitchen]

Just say him last night in Tysons, Virginia. Great show. Music was great, but his jokes and constant swearing were the best part. He has such a self aware personality. He mentioned liking that no one recognizes him anymore, except when he's at CVS and one of his songs plays over the speaker, making him scream out to everyone around him that he wrote it, causing a scene.

[@brianglendenning1632]

I saw him last month in Newcastle NSW. He has lost none of his ability or humour.

[@f.d4362]

Wow! His voice sounds great! No difference between that and his 80's voice. He's actually a better performer now than before...more personality!

[@concurt6465]

Colin you got me through a tough few months .of waiting on my time for lower back surgery this song kept me sane.

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

Real music, even with a few warts. I love it!!!!!!!!!!! Keeping it real!!

[@jemsguitarsandgear7209]

Colin Hay’s voice is still awesome 👍 lovin this song 🎸🎤

[@antoniovelazquezvera8366]

Colin Hay and Rick Springfield awesome!

[@jeffsherman2990]

3 KINGS of the 80'S! You forgot JOHN WAITE!!!!!!!

[@judegraham463]

Colin Hay has got the most beautiful selection of Maton acoustic guitars I have ever seen. This guitar he's holding is at least the 3rd top notch custom built Maton guitar I've seen him play. I have not seen a more beautiful guitar, which is quite appropriate considering the beauty of his music/songs.

[@paulweston285]

You should see the new light blue Gretch he uses with Ringo recently what an instrument !

[@jbcashman]

And as beautiful as Colin's guitar is, Rick Springfield found his in the basement of a frat house, left behind after graduation.

[@thebirdwatchingbloke3991]

So talented. Even the mistake in the guitar solo was done while playing effortlessly and with humor. What a legend.

[@pretonics]

He didn’t make a mistake the other guitarist missed the chord change. The only thing Colin did was forget a lyric, he nailed everything else-legend

[@artvandelay8090]

Rick Springfield screwed up the chord progressions every time the song transitioned from the choruses to the verse. It wasn't quite as obvious every time. The time where Colin was playing the sax line over that progression, Rick Springfield really screwed it up royally and it was blatantly obvious even to non-musicians. But musicians know that Springfield screwed up that progression all 4 times in that song. He simply didn't know the chords there and he was faking it - never got it right. It wasn't Colin Hay's mistake.

[@KiloMintoni-kg4kn]

​@@pretonicsno. He fU€ked that up.

[@dougclymer389]

Colin's voice is still like it was in the 1980s--great!

[@Everythingallthetime666]

Loved this song as a kid in the 80s, but never really understood it until i came back from Afghanistan an injured broken man.

[@grayhairedgear5992]

Oddly, I've found a certain, optimistic power in this song. Take care out there. It's good to have you home.

[@artvandelay8090]

I feel your pain, bro. Be well.

[@tomelizalde7838]

God bless you Soldier !!

[@john-dz6wk]

Thank you for your service hope you find peace!***

[@joejohnson6321]

Dude with the hat is on is doing some serious tweaking.

[@Peter-fo4ec]

I love this guy

[@billyshears67]

this voice signature is amazing! time passes and it's the same great voice!

[@joseignaciotrejomontes6227]

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

[@2717392]

Cuándo somos jóvenes, sentimos que todo puede ser terrible. Pero todo está listo para cambiar. LAS NOCHES NOS HACEN PENSAR MUCHAS COSAS DESAGRADABLES, pero no es real, al día siguiente todo cambiará.... se los juro !!! A todos nos ocurre. Es nuestra naturaleza humana. MAÑANA SERÁ UN DÍA MEJOR. Olvida esas cosas tontas, nadie se acuerda de lo que pasó, solo tú !! Cada día es una nueva historia, que puede ser maravillosa !!

[@mikeheap7978]

Still sings this song so very well. My favourite Men af Work's numbers. Business as Usual was a great album.

[@Crazyfeline]

What about Cargo?

[@rebelyellyoung]

Cargo, yeah..very good album,near top..well, from From LP CARGO Is Overkill, anyway! Both ,album and song,pass the test of time,isnt so? ..like Colin , too.

[@soculese]

Third guitarist was flawless.

[@rcruz262]

Didn't miss a beat

[@DrLumpy]

That's the underrated Richard Edward. He plays with the Fuqauffs.

[@jeffsherman2990]

​@@DrLumpyYou're an idiot! That's Rick Springfield and John Waite with Colin Hay!

[@bryanlasermagiktyler3132]

what a genius, and an awesome musician. this is definitely one of my favorite songs

[@DJ-Hazza]

4 minutes of bliss !!!

[@Walk-on-Wildcat]

Colin and RS ❤❤❤❤

[@amymcpherson2831]

Colin Hay is a gem. This song hits so hard.

[@stoneycarter6429]

Wow years later I look this song up on occasion because I love it and still a new performance ! Amazing

[@NsixVHF]

I am upset that I can't hit the like button 100 more times! Such an underrated song from an underrated artist!

[@AlplaYou]

Just a word: GOOSEBUMP!

[@SuperTechnicalman]

Those Pipes! Those beautiful Pipes!!!!!

[@traywilson]

Still SUCH an amazing voice!! My favorite MAW tune.

[@ronivaldofernando8521]

Tempo da infância inesquecível

[@eyelessjack3406]

I still remember the youtube video of showing me how to play this song.. love this.

[@fretted]

Just awesome!

[@TwoIndians]

just saw him a few months ago becuase Ive heard so many stories about how great his shows were, TBH, was never much of a fan of MaW but his whole show was so entertaining. the storytelling was hilarious.

[@francrisp6614]

Love this song

[@robsmith6087]

great to see and hear Rick too

[@jrallen99]

the other two artists with Colin are Rick Springfield on the left and John Waite on the right.

[@NeoGee]

Thank you! I knew I knew him, but I couldnt place him!

[@ilaser4064]

Maybe the guy on the left should have paid more attention to learning how to play than covering his guitar with stickers. Several times he plays stuff that's out of key or not in time and that's ignoring him repeating the same bars when Colin was playing the lead.

[@christopherjbutler]

That is a singer with completely relaxed and natural breath control.. Sings from a place of effortless strength.. I know this is a stretch to some, but another great singer with that effortless singing from the core ease is Donny Hathaway.. All the greatest singers that can sing as gorgeously from pianissimo to fortissimo have it. Karen Carpenter is another. Just a mesmerizing voice.. And I think in a way he sounds more compelling now, with an acoustic, than the 80's produced version of this song...

[@mrmac3971]

sounds amazing

[@APolishPlayer]

guy in the black fedora did absolutely nothing during the ENTIRE SONG. why are you up at front?.... sorry but....

[@macski6924]

Gotta love an imperfect performance containing such brilliant moments. He is a great guitar player and that absolutely distinctive voice. Just wonderful.

[@dualdanman816]

It's amazing how much this song touchies the heart's of many people's ❤🙌🙏🙂

[@Zen_Tiago]

Colin and Rick Springfield...australian legends

[@bpark0906]

Colin is actually from Scotland!

[@jeffsherman2990]

You FORGOT JOHN WAITE!

[@ogfail1867]

Great version of that song. Was that Rick Springfield playing with him????

[@zafurchio5687]

Lot of faults from both in this performance. Looks like the guitarist didn't know well all the chords. Colin is among my favourites of all times anyway.

[@reinierdeman8147]

John Waite on the right?

[@atarial]

JD and Turk approuves it.

[@phil6327]

adsolutely brilliant, from a brit!!

[@SuperTechnicalman]

Men @ Work Business as Usual was my very first cassette tape. I wore it out and bought it several times in various forms.

[@simoncollins4807]

Was my first also!

[@ARTUROSIERRALOPEZ]

Keeping his voice, remarkable

[@stevenw4334]

he is the only dude in the world that makes lazy eye cool as fuk

[@jujuxD4]

Temazo, y que señor cantante!!! Por Dios!!! Como conservó esa maravillosa voz!!! 10/10

[@beanmchne]

The great ones make it look so damn easy.

[@williemcglown8001]

I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🐞

[@DJ-Hazza]

Colin has THE best voice i've ever heard x

[@glennhelliar]

I love seeing Colin Hay sing acoustically. So raw and pure and powerful, Love it

[@christopherlamb7386]

Singing "Oh Maggie" on that 12 string mandoline, is to me the most beautiful thing to hear.......try that.

[@martinsargeant8197]

My favourite song of all time. Stunning

[@SouthernFried]

Props to Rick Springfield , kept pace with Colin every step good or bad

[@artvandelay8090]

Was that Rick Springfield who played guitar on the left and totally screwed up the chords on the transition back from the choruses to the verses? What an amateur.

[@APolishPlayer]

i was saying in a comment, i havent seen him play most of the song....

[@diablovalleyvolleyball]

That was simply amazing

[@luisantoniosanchezgonzalez1587]

Me causa felicidad oir esta canción en todas sus versiones acústicas por el señor Colin Hay

[@kevinrobinson5971]

Plus the fantastic Rick Springfield!!!😀

[@colinbutler2552]

whos the Keith Richards ' Want to be ' sitting there on the Right faceing the stage ? Great Job Colin... that voice hasnt lost a beat.

[@teddysalad6553]

thats John Wait

[@eyeseverywhere8246]

the guy looks angry.... and extremely unhappy.

[@AvalonAscension]

Guitar levels are all off. The guitarist Colins right needs to be turned way down and also learn to play better. My goodness and turn up the mic. Sound engineer gets an F for effort

[@dantefrias]

Colin Hay & Rick Springfield What more could you ask for? two Australian rock megastars

[@jeffsherman2990]

You FORGOT JOHN WAITE!

[@MrNaldinhoZM]

Bro on the right is more impressed than us 😵‍💫😅

[@mikem4333]

Hey Colin. Thanks man. Hard hitting song that makes me happy to be alive.

[@frankrizzo4877]

Colin's voice is amazing! This is song is hits on every level.

[@robertmathewson7627]

Agree with everything said, saddest, best live solo,,voice off the chart. He's been fortunate to recreate his career.

[@arthurschipper8906]

One of the most unappreciated voices ever

[@fab.silva1119]

is it me or does he sound very similar to Sting?

[@rwinfi2019]

Where is Dr. Cox to smash the guitar? 😂😉 Brilliant song.

[@1BrknHrtdRomeo]

Music needs to be like this again...

[@miculucianionel9332]

It's like his voice can work on two levels: normal and overkill.😁

[@rominalilapaz2373]

His voice is INTACT. Amaizing.

[@Srd-u6l]

Hell yes! Mistakes count! That makes you human!!! Ozzy parted with Jake because.... He was too much like a computer.

[@amywalsh542]

No one better than Colin Hay!! ❤❤❤

[@SuperTechnicalman]

I repurchased Men @ Work Business as Usual several times over the years. I wore them out or my vw melted the tapes

[@edwardking8629]

I’m 55 and this is my life lol

[@douglasj53]

One of those timeless songs. Brilliant.

[@Pewtooyou]

👍👍😊🎶😊👍👍

[@timoraymo]

One of those songs where if you hear and don’t pay attention you’ll miss the amazing point of the lyrics.

[@bobbyboykin7137]

Pure gold. Colin is a treasure.

[@majortom4543]

get it together! what is going on with the guy with the stickers guitar. He was making mistakes all over. And Looks so trashy like that with all the stickers

[@Lance37a]

Rick Springfield?

[@Petebootyfudge5312]

Thats what i was thinking! Saw rick springfield in grade school. Yikes 1984!

[@PiChannel314]

Betcha 10 bucks he talked about missing that chord…

[@alexsherel3344]

AND RICK SPRINGFIELD?…yup, took til the end but…

[@BlazeBuds]

Wow convid wasnt nice to him was it? He barely looks like the same person who sung this on Scrubs

[@dannytableman9452]

ohhh RICK!!!

[@JChicoine]

Does anyone know what guitar Collin is playing? Thank you.

[@dbb124]

Rick playing guitar ruins this song. He has no touch, plays way too hard.
