Being nominated for multiple Grammys and winning the 1990 VMA’s best group video for ‘Love Shak’, the B-52s have rightfully stated their claim as musical stars. Fronted by a Scottish native who relocated Down Under in his teens, Men At Work glimpsed greatness before it all became a bit Spinal Tap. Frontman Colin Hay trawls through a thorny and tragic history with Classic Pop …I get parents on the phone, not realising I’m mixed race, so they say things they wouldn’t say otherwise. You get this insight into how people think. It’s the same as my sexuality - they don’t assume I’m gay - so you hear it all coming out. I’m always very calm these days - I just ask “tell me a little bit more about that - I don’t understand what you mean”.Mark, headteacher In 1996, Hay reunited with Men at Work and toured South America, which led to the live Men at Work album, Brazil.

[18] By January 1983 Men at Work had the top album and single in both the US and the UK – never previously achieved by an Australian act. [7] "Be Good Johnny" received moderate airplay in the US; it reached the top20 in Canada. [16] The next Friday, the head of our office—whom I didn’t know very well—invited me to his office and asked about the event. I thought he was making small talk and said it was great, and then there was a long, awkward ten-second pause. Turns out he’d asked me to his office because he genuinely wanted to hear about the Pride event and to apologize for missing it because he’d been out of town. It hadn’t even occurred to me that he would care enough to have a real conversation about it. But once I realized his intention, we launched into a wonderful conversation about the event.
