Neil: I've been going through some older CD's (and yes records) and I came across a song I haven't heard in a while.."Down Under" by Men At Work. Any chance of doing something with this in the Campfire Songs?

LMAO.............

I actually asked Neil to show me Overkill in maybe week 1 or two of meeting him, Down Under is a song that ...well...most Aussies despise now,

AT its peak it was a national anthem, it became the theme song after the Aussies broke the unbeatable Americas cup away from the US, at the time, ALan Bond a business man and the Aussie team changed history, and the prime minister of the time declared the day after an impromptu public holiday (imagine that here )...since then Bondy the business man , went to jail for a host of issues, and the Americas cup has lost every last drop of its cache and magic and turned into a joke..

The song..oh..the words, the flute ...lol, this band and Colin Hay specifically did so much great work, and were defined by this throw away...

Not sure what Neil will say when I speak to him tommorow on this..
