Maybe it's in the rhythms or in Hay's phrasing, I really can't tell. On the "true covers" subject, I guess it doesn't really matter if the song is good :) Well I’m not good enough in music dissection to tell where the reggae part resides, but I always find it quite striking when I listen to their albums.

They've always seemed more like a pop band to me. I've heard the version of "Overkill" from the <em>Man @ Work</em> album and I like it. I'll have to track down the rest of the album. The album does raise an existential question for the proprietor of a cover blog. If Colin Hay wrote the songs and recorded them with his band, can you really consider the new recordings covers? Discuss. I’ve never thought of Men At Work as being especially reggae-influenced, although I’m not real familiar with their music beyond their radio/video hits.
