This song was in a episode of the TV show Scrubs. There is a part where he keeps singing and playing the guitar and because it's a very happy, upbeat tune it drives one character crazy and he grabs the guitar and wacks it to bits. I'm pretty sure this is his solo version of the same song done by Men at Work. He was the main singer of that Aussie band. A good happy sing along tune.

I like many people heard this version on the TV show Scrubs. The song was always a great tune for me, as I was an instant fan of Men At Work after their first album released in the early 80's. Overkill the original version would come on the radio from time to time and I would always give the song it's well deserved volume crank, alas Overkill, like many classics fell out of rotation for on air play, and I kinda forgot about the song altogether. Then came the show Scrubs and when I heard this version, full of emotion, rife with feeling....just left me wanting more. Colin Hay has a voice like no other in the industry, and his mark on the music industry is truly indelible.

I got the see Colin Hay live in Michigan in the summer of 09 and his solo music has been all over my phone and mp3 player since. Can't get enough. If you think you know him from Men at Work... you only know a small, small part of who Colin Hay is.
