Nov 21, 2008 - does he have an accent?
nzoz1983 Says:
Nov 21, 2008 - yes, Colin has a Scottish accent. It's more known that Bon Scott and Angus & Malcom Young of AC/DC were born in Scotland even though the three of them spoke with Aussie accents. However, it's Colin Hay that most assume is Aussie even though he still holds a rather noticable Scottish accent.

Nov 21, 2008 - I was born only in 1993 and yet this song holds a life time of memories. My father was into the 80's for another....heck he's still into the 80's even today, and so some of my earliest memories were sitting down in the tiny little house I lived in until I was 6 and listened to great 80's songs like this day and night.

Nov 21, 2008 - i was born in 74 and i still dwell on the yester--years of time . hopefully the future has greate music 2.
dougd1015 Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - I hate to say it but the present most definitely doesn't. Well that's being a bit harsh, there still is good music, you just look for it now. In the 80's and before; it would find you.
ukijeh Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - ok thanks

Nov 22, 2008 - I just listened to that crap on your recommendation, When it finished, It was like someone had stopped hitting me over the head with a f**king hammer. It's total shit compared to Men at Work.

Nov 22, 2008 - At :55 - 1:00 you can see this guy is fucked up. His eyes dont focus at all. He looks retarded. Oh and for all you music critics who think music sucks nowadays you dont know shit. Music in the 80's is universally laughed at by critics. The 60s,70s, and 90's were bright years. This entire era sucked. men at Work was a fucking joke. TV on the Radio is actually GOOD pop music. Message me if you want to know some good pop songs from them. Not this shit.
nzoz1983 Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - And who the fuck cares about you and your opinion? Like anybody is going to listen to you. You seeked out a video you were bound not to like just to express an opposing opinion that isn't going to be popular... how fucking laughable. And then making mention of critics to strenghten your statement.... Oh dear! You remind me of one of those boring-conceited guys that does nothing at a party but criticize the food whilst everybody else is having fun. Go home and play with yourself.

Nov 22, 2008 - faggot
nzoz1983 Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - Oh, by the way - I'm not a Men At Work fan nor do I like the 80's much. It was the way you came in here with your pig-headed ego that I think would piss most people off! With friends like you, who needs enemies - with fans like you who needs promoters?
SmileBit299 Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - Sorry for being intelligent. Dumb people are always hating on the intellectuals. Dumb music for sumb people. Look at your responses. You guys listen to boring music. Listen to good stuff. I will recomend music for all you if you ever graduate from crap like this.
nzoz1983 Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - Okay, now I know this is a joke. I'm not even going to take you seriously, because intelligent people don't even bother spending their time on something that to them is trivial. Intellectual? Ugh.. no. You're the sort of 'intellectual' who sits with a group of intelligent people and shuts up because you're not able to keep up with the conversation. I am intellectual and intelligent enough not to parade myself with making such thoughtless proclamatories. Seriously, go fuck yourself!
nzoz1983 Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - Now I've just read through your profile and see that a lot of people have some very flattering things to say about you. I worked it out. You're just an attention seeking troll trying to amuse yourself by going onto videos and making shitty comments. It's sad and it's the workings of a lonely person. If it amuses you to do this, we'll humour you for a while until we get bored. It must feel good at age 28 you can get so many negative comments in your profile. What a life.

Nov 17, 2008 - Most people only remember them for 'Down Under' but they were more than a novelty band. This is a great early 80's song. The lead singer's daughter, Sia, is a great singer in her own right too.
