Men at Work was created in Melbourne, Australia, in 1979, with Colin Hay (voice and guitar) as a founding member, initially accompanied by Ron Strykert (guitar/bass) and Jerry Speiser (battery). The quintet stabilized with the addition of Greg Ham (flute, saxophone and keyboards) and John Rees (bass). The following year, the group launched the Independent single “Keypunch Operator” with “Down under” On side B in 1980.
In 1981 they signed with CBS Records Australia; That year made available “Who can it be now?”which reached 2nd place in the Australian charts and remained 24 weeks at Chart. The debut album, Business as usual (1981), included “Down under”which became an international success and led, in January 1983, to the simultaneous conquest of first place on the United States singles and albums-made unpublished for Australian artists. The album and single also reached the top in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
The second album, Positionwas released in 1983 and reached 1st place in Australia, 2nd in New Zealand, 3rd in the USA and 8th in the United Kingdom.
