Colin Hay guest stars on the ‘My Overkill’ episode of Scrubs. He sings one of Men At Works’ greatest hits, “Overkill”. This is one of my favorite Scrubs episodes.

Former Men at Work frontman's doing just fine as a solo artist. American Sunshine marks the tenth record and twenty-second year of Colin Hay's solo career, far outstripping his Men at Work output. Granted, it's the Men at Work hits he's best known for, but that doesn't seem to bother Hay (he seems to have looked back only once, with 2003's Man at Work, where he re-recorded some of his former...

"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...

... song and humming along.) But after the TV show aired, Larrikin Music Publishing filed suit against Colin Hay and Ron Strykert — the two Men at Work members who wrote "Down Under" — and their former record label. A number of Australians, including Westwood, found this a bit much. "It's an imaginative reusing of a well-known song that's almost a folk song in Australia,"...

... may want to throw sharp, heavy objects at Zach Braff, it's hard to pretend that post-Men at Work Colin Hay hasn't been one of the revelations of the decade for me. Got back from Western NY and took a trip back to the city to attempt an adventure of distraction (but really just to be a little bit lonely) and where I listened to nothing else for ten days straight and ended up not being lonely...

Across choppy waters float Noah on his Whale, a Fleet of Foxes, Colin Hay, Alexi Murdoch, Sun Kil Moon, Johnny Cash, and countless others, singing acoustic sea shanties. Just when you’re about to sink deep into this sea of aural laments, thousand-yard stares and big sighs, a bald, bearded chap, with a Scottish accent, throws you a life raft, with Meursault...

It’s Sunday and rainy. My remedy? A little Colin Hay and sewing. I have a lot of stray buttons lurking around my place, so I figured why not make a stray-button purse (drawing a little DIY inspiration from SuperForester Iman’s brilliant creation)? Here’s what I used: Look what I have created!! What a thrill. I used my hands! I made something [...]
