What really happened to Men at Work?In this episode of Booked On Rock, returning guest Greg Prato discusses his new book, Down Under: The Men at Work & Colin Hay Story, and explores the remarkable rise of one of the biggest bands of the MTV era—and the surprising reasons behind their rapid breakup.We dive into the stories behind classics like "Down Under," "Who Can It Be Now?," "Overkill," and "Be Good Johnny," the band's early days in Melbourne, the creative partnership between Colin Hay and Greg Ham, the pressure of following 'Business as Usual', the Greg Ham copyright lawsuit, reunion possibilities, and why Men at Work's legacy continues to grow decades later.If you've ever wondered how a band that dominated MTV and topped the charts could disappear so quickly, this is the story you've been waiting to hear.Purchase a copy of Down Under: The Men at Work & Colin Hay StoryFind more Greg Prato books on AmazonFollow Greg Prato on X----------🎧 Listen Ad-Free on PatreonSupport Booked On Rock and get every new episode completely commercial-free with the Backstage Pass.Join here: https://www.patreon.com/cw/BookedOnRock🛒 Old Glory -  Iconic music and sports fan merch💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: BOOKEDONROCKhttps://oldglory.com/discount/BOOKEDONROCKBooked On Rock is part of The Boneless Podcasting Network BookedOnRock.com The Booked On Rock Store The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:BLUESKYFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMTIKTOKX Find Your Nearest Independent Bookstore Contact The Booked On Rock Podcast: [email protected] The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe
