Quite a few of our best musicians/singers came to Australia as children with their families. Jimmy Barnes is another Scot, John Farnham was from London, Johnny Diesel from the USA. There was a fantastic pub rock scene here from the 1970s and 1980s and these guys plus some others like The Easybeats (also with mostly former child migrants) learnt a lot about the craft of music and performing from those days. They’ve all mentioned it in interviews. My grandparents were from Ayrshire, same as Colin Hay.

Wow what a deep comment brother. Even in the 70's, music was almost a central theme in my life. For me, it was a refuge in some pretty stormy times. I'm 55 and your list (a fraction in sure) reads like my vinal/cassette collection in the 80's. All the ones you mentioned, plus 3 Beatles, couple Elton John, Deep Purple, every AC⚡ DC, several Ozzy/Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, on and on! Lost them all in fire, but what the hey, now I can hear'm anytime. I do plan to replace all I can. I still "live in the past" when it comes to music, but that's ok. Rock on!

My Dad had this record. I wore it out. I was 6 and the music room was my refuge. When I was 8 I saved enough money to buy my first cassette tape. It was Cargo. I wore that cassette out too. I’ve since listened to Colin’s work on pretty much every medium of music available. Rock on Mr. Hay. I’ll be listening.

So damn good, I first heard this song when living in KL in 1983. Australia had just won the Americas Cup and Alan Bond was was signalling for Australia II to be lifted out of the water so the world could see Ben Lexcen’s winged keel. Down Under was pumping through the speakers on the TV and it was going off as we say. Mum bought me my first Men at Work album that year and I have loved the band ever since, I was 10 years old. Colin you probably won’t remember but I followed you into a record store off Chapel Street in Melbourne at least 20 years ago and asked you if you were the lead singer of Men at Work. You said yes with a big smile and who are you? I said no one special but I just had to stop you and thank for the music over the years. I know you appreciated the gesture. You are a great bloke and an icon of Australian music. Men at Work will always be high on my list of favourite bands of all time. Look after yourself Pal 👍

Whats really great about his performance is that he's hitting the notes in a full voice and not a spoken/mixed way which most pop/rock singers tend use when heading up to C5.

Holy Sh*t, that was freakin awesome! That voice. What??

"I said to the man are you trying to tempt me" - best line in music ever written and most beautifully sung. Evolutionary, revolutionary, universal and most of all: humorous. The Beauty, the sadness and the humour have rarely been so perfectly linked together.

1K 'thumbs down'? Come on people, what the hell is wrong with you? Aside from this being a classic and world-wide recognised, this also happens to be a wonderful version. Mr. Hay's skill just seems to grow and become more sublime. P.S. The reason why I have come to listen to this on the 28th of August is because it is my daughter's 21st birthday, and one of her all-time happiest music experiences was going to see Mr Hay perform. I get great joy hearing her create her own versions of Mr Hay's songs on the piano. So if a whole new generation of music lovers now adores Mr Hay's work, I have to again say a big 'stuff you' to the 1K of tone-deaf, spiteful people pushing the 'thumbs down' for no fathomable reason..
