Men at Work...like so many of those Aussie bands that really hit the big time back then ( Bee Gees, ACDC, EasyBeats) -made of immigrant Brit kids.

A manager friend of mine reckons the British class system with a
constantly suppressed working class in the 60's/70's was responsible for the emergence of so much superb talent with the drive to escape their surroundings.

But being sued by the Girl Guides-that has to be the peak of your career !

Not only that a former member of the band was arrested earlier this year for sending death threats to Colin Hay. Should revive interest in the band though."Business as Usual" is a favourite album of mine.
