  In March 2017, Colin Hay performed "Overkill" with Choir! Choir! Choir! in Brooklyn, showcasing his enduring appeal as a solo artist well after Men at Work's peak in the early 1980s. The band, which rose to fame with hits like "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now?", had its commercial high point with their debut album, *Business as Usual* (1981), and won a Grammy in 1983. By the time of the live recording, Men at Work had dissolved, and Colin Hay had carved out a successful solo career, emphasizing his songwriting skills and ability to connect with audiences. The live performance with a choir highlights the lasting impact of "Overkill," a song that, while less commercially successful than their major hits, has become a beloved anthem. This collaboration exemplifies Hay's continued relevance in music, celebrating the legacy of Men at Work while engaging with fans in an intimate and interactive setting.
