Men Working Well

There's a song for everything. Every kind of event, occasion, person, place, thing, and emotion.

Men At Work covered a feeling in "Overkill" that is often felt in many songs but rarely ever described in other songs.

The feeling is, is that at times, life generally sucks. Your mind is full of life's problems, keeping one restless and sleepless. Granted, it's not really a cool thing to sing about. Ok, it bites. However, Men At Work managed to construct a song describing that mood in a way that hits home with a beautiful sadness and stays with you long after it's over.

Few songs, regardless of the content, have that power.
