IMHO, I feel that this particular song should have been released as a "stand alone" single. This is actually a pretty good song that deserved a chance as a single, but it was placed as the B-Side of Down Under. I still have my Down Under single. I play both songs when I play the single. Good song and a pretty good recording of it as well.
Fun song, but the drummer speeds up the tempo too much, very noticeable. Maybe if it had been re-recorded with the tempo kept in check and another verse added to get it to around 3 minutes.
wish i could find my single of Down Under from over 30 years ago to listen to this song ha ha. Still listen to Business on Usual on vinyl - first record when I was 11..One of the best bands from the 80s, an under rated and complex band - I feel peaked and then crushed too early with fame
I wish Columbia records would go ahead and release all the B sides and rarities that this band has. Men at work is one of the most underrated bands of the last 40 years. Colin hay is a musical genius. It's sad that Greg ham passed away in almost near obscurity. They should be recognized as the super talented musicians that they are. So many good songs besides who can it be now and down under. This band sort of reminds me in a way of thin Lizzy. Not so much musical stylings , But rather the fact that they are known only for their one album with those 2F are mentioned singles. They could never capture the chart success they once had after it. And that's very disappointing, because cargo is such a great album
In June 2009, 28 years after the release of the recording, Larrikin Music sued Men at Work for copyright infringement, alleging that part of the flute riff of "Down Under" was copied from "Kookaburra". The counsel for the band's record label and publishing company (Sony BMG Music Entertainment and EMI Songs Australia) claimed that, based on the agreement under which the song was written, the copyright was actually held by the Girl Guides Association. On 30 July, Justice Peter Jacobson of the Federal Court of Australia made a preliminary ruling that Larrikin did own copyright on the song, but the issue of whether or not Hay and Strykert had plagiarised the riff was set aside to be determined at a later date. Colin Hay has since suggested that the deaths of his father, Jim, in 2010, and of Men at Work flute player Greg Ham in 2012 were directly linked to the stress of the court case.
@@justsammy2023his is not on their standard Business as Usual LP. It's a b-side track which only appears on the Business as Usual 2003 remaster version.
Cantores: Greg Ham, Colin Hay e Ron Strykert I called you up on the telephone You weren't there, you weren't at home He didn't know what to do Now he's sniffin glue Honey you're driving him Crazy, hazy, crazy I'm amazed if, 'mazed if i get through, go I went down to the corner street Bought a record with a beat But that just didn't do Made him think of you The record is drivin' him Crazy, hazy, crazy, hazy He needs some love, this madness is drivin' him Around the bend, he can't see to the end Round and round and round and round he goes Got new neighbours, moved in next door They got some daughters, i counted four, He's forgotten your name I know who's to blame These honeys are drivin' him... Crazy, hazy, crazy, hazy, Round and round and round and round he goes
Business As Usual should've included this on it! The last few songs kinda drag on and this would've been a good upbeat one to close it off with. Could've easily replaced Catch a Star

@@floridamanmick1372 It wasn't on the original release of Business As Usual. It was the B-Side of Down Under, but wasn't the only non-album B-Side song. Two other non-album B-Side songs were the instrumental jam styled Anyone For Tennis? (Who Can It Be Now's B-Side) and F-19 (Be Good Johnny's B-Side). Only Crazy and F-19 were added as bonus tracks on the CD re-issue of Business As Usual, but Anyone For Tennis? was left off for some unknown reason. Just thought I'd share this with you.

frschoonover1 such a great song

This atleast should've been on the actual album.

@@ColonelKurtzIt’s also on the B-Side of the Down Under 7” 45 RPM single
Greg died on account of that stupid game show...
thanks for posting..was on the B-Side to Down Under on the Columbia American 45 rpm
Cómo disfruto de esta cancion
And the UK Epic 45 rpm
Cantores: Greg Ham, Colin Hay e Ron Strykert
I called you up on the telephone
You weren't there, you weren't at home
He didn't know what to do
Now he's sniffin glue
Honey you're driving him
Crazy, hazy, crazy
I'm amazed if, 'mazed if i get through, go
I went down to the corner street
Bought a record with a beat
But that just didn't do
Made him think of you
The record is drivin' him
Crazy, hazy, crazy, hazy
He needs some love, this madness is drivin' him
Around the bend, he can't see to the end
Round and round and round and round he goes
Got new neighbours, moved in next door
They got some daughters, i counted four,
He's forgotten your name
I know who's to blame
These honeys are drivin' him...
Crazy, hazy, crazy, hazy,
Round and round and round and round he goes
😔~RIP Greg Ham~😔
I say without any hesitation at all, that this is one of my favorite songs of all time, top 5 easy.
It’s really good
El qué no bailó Hesta canción qué diga qué no existió recuerdos inolvidables en la discoteca
I played this song more than I did the A side with Down Under
Same
Ditto!
Adore this song!!Of all their flip sides,this and F-19 are my favorites.
Business As Usual should've included this on it! The last few songs kinda drag on and this would've been a good upbeat one to close it off with. Could've easily replaced Catch a Star
Its included in the 2003 remaster CD and a Japanese(?) Remaster/re-release from 2013 I belive
FBS - forgotten B side
I have the 45 of Down Under/Crazy and I probably listen to it every day
Men At Work's GREATEST song EVER...
...yall can KEEP that Land Down Under BULLSHIT!🍺😎👍
~RIP Greg Ham~

I love Men at Work too (I come from the land down under)
I love Men At Work (´m from Brazil).
Side B of down under. I Liked the same down under. I have the 45 vinilo.
Colin and Ron both played Yamaha strat copies with tons of chorus effect on them.
Digital release whennnn
excelente tema
This is better than Down Under.
I would have put this on Business as Usual
Good call keeping the song as a B Side and off the album. This needed more work.
Was it ripped from vinyl, or taken from the remastered CD reissue? Please answer.
Hm, at least the original person Hay stayed.
B side of 45rpm but I don't remember was on the A side. Anybody know?
It was the B-Side of Down Under.
yes!
I to from brazil
Clásicos..año 83
that sax tho
~RIP Greg Ham~
