As a fan of neither Colin Hay nor Men At Work, for some reason I love this song.

I like this song. Of course, by the 38th listen, I might not feel that way, or even the 18th, but for now, it's a 7. Colin is a poet. Get over it, cynics among us.

I think it's the meds that make him this way, Lazaerus.  I love this song. I love Colin Hay's music. I feel he's better as a solo, instead of with Men At Work. This is getting a 10, up from 9. Take THAT, Stingray!  |

This just keeps growing on me. A little sappy for some, maybe, but a lovely tune.

Talented songwriter and musician and down to Earth guy in my opinion.
Mrs. Lizard saw him on a GNO a couple of years ago. Very strange lady doing free form dance behind him while he was performing. Turns out to be his wife. "Very odd," sez Mrs. L. Otherwise, what you said: genuine, engaging, grounded. BTW, we're children of the 50s, and first saw him and Men At Work on their first US tour some 25+ years ago. Great band. |
