Men at Work was founded in 1979 by Colin Hay and Ron Strykert. Later, Jerry Speiser, Greg Ham, and John Rees joined. In 1981, they released their first single, "Who Can It Be Now?". The single became a huge hit in Australia, as did their debut album, "Business as Usual." In 1982, "Who Can It Be Now?" reached number one in America. Their second song, "Down Under," reached number one in both America and the UK. "Down Under" was a joke and is a cheerful, humorous song about typical Australian things, such as a Veggie sandwich. It is considered Australia's second national anthem. members are: Jerry Speiser, Greg Ham, Colin Hay, Ron Strykert, John Rees
