Hay sang Kookaburra in live Down Under

"EIGHTIES rock legend and Men At Work lead singer Colin Hay yesterday admitted singing the words to the children's folk song 'Kookaburra' during live performances of the band's anthem 'Down Under'. But in another toe-tapping day in the Federal Court, Hay couldn't recall more than the first line of 'Kookaburra' when asked to give a rendition. The star took his guitar into the witness stand to give...

Reggae changes kookaburra sound: court

THE flute riff in Down Under is "unmistakably" the same as an Aussie folk tune but because it is in a reggae style it sounds different, a court has heard.

Down Under riff 'ripped from kids' song'

KOOKABURRA Sits in the Old Gum Tree is a distinct and memorable Australian melody, so there is no surprise that it ended up in a song that celebrated all things antipodean, a court has been told.

Colin Hay - Aladdin Theater (Portland, OR; Aug. 7, 2009)

When I arrived at the Aladdin Theater to see Colin Hay , I was not prepared for the show I ended up getting. My experiences with Hay’s music have been contained mostly to his mellower, acoustic work and his time spent with Men at Work. This show proved to be a lot more rocking than I had anticipated. Hay is currently touring in support of his forthcoming album, American Sunshine . Partially...

Hay, Contest, Frick

It's amazing how people have different sides to them. Colin Hay who was the force behind Men At Work has smart, sensitive, solo, songs. Relative obscurity seems to serve him well; take this charmingly sarcastic I Wish I Was Still Drinking . Here's a touching one; Me and My Imaginary Friend . This one, Overkill , is painfully touching and profound. And here's one that's just fun. I have an idea. One...
