At Work

So here is to a confusing day, my eighty-fifth pick.

Artist - Men At Work
Album - Business As Usual
Released - 1981
Label - CBS/Columbia
Genre - New Wave/Pop Rock


Tracks:
Who Can it Be Now?
I Can See it in Your Eyes
Down Under
Underground
Helpless Automaton
People Just Love to Play with Words
Be Good Johnny
Touching the Untouchables
Catch a Star
Down By The Sea

This makes a lot of sense, this post.  Men at Work is from Australia and I almost feel like most bands from Australia in the 80's have an island-ish sound to them.  Yes, this is new wave/pop rock, but in all honesty, it has something that makes it sound that way, at least to me.  Men at Work are most famous for their songs Down Under and Who Can it Be Now?, which to me were songs I grew up with (yes, especially since this song came out in 1981, when I was a child, an infant even).  I love how I display these records from way back then and it triggers so many memories.

Enjoy!
