It’s called Among the areas hit hardest is a place that’s “What’s My Name?” special to Hay and his musical history. It’s a piece “Every night Ringo comes out on stage and of land near the village of Cobargo in New South says, ‘What’s my name?’” said Starr. “And people Wales where he wrote “Who Can It Be Now?” go, ‘Ringo!’ And I thought there should be a song “Well, it was before Men At Work really existed called that. It didn’t seem very difficult to figure out really,” said Hay, who was born in Scotland but that he needs a song called ‘What’s My Name?’ But raised in Australia. “We had it during Men At I wrote it years ago and then … I hadn’t seen him Work, but my girlfriend at the time, Linda, she was for a few years, and then, he asked me to do the tour a teacher, she had a job, and she bought it when I last year, so I did that.

Touring around the world with Starr & His All-Starr Band in 2018 and 2019 might be just as good. Hay also traveled through Europe under the Men At Work banner, performing hits like “Down Under,” “Overkill” and “It’s a Mistake,” and he heads up the Colin Hay Band. Those carefree days in Cobargo must seem like a lifetime ago. Singing lead and playing guitar, Hay formed Men At Work in 1979 after performing with Ron Strykert as an acoustic duo for two years. Jerry Speiser was on drums and multi-instrumentalist Greg Ham joined soon after, as did bassist John Rees. In January 1983, they became the first Australian band to have a No. 1 song and album in the United States at the same time with “Down Under” and Business As Usual, respectively. Men At Work followed Business As Usual, which was actually released in 1981, with Cargo, another smash hit, later in 1983. Trouble was brewing behind the scenes, however, despite winning a Grammy Award for “Best New Artist.” In 1984, Rees and Speiser were asked to leave the band, and Stykert left during the making of 1985’s Two Hearts, an LP that’s been deemed a critical and commercial dud. Ham departed after its release. Only Hay remained from that initial lineup. “I love doing Even with the way the original Men At solo gigs, and Work ended, Hay is proud of the enduring work they left behind. I love people “I think that there’s some songs that have stood the test of time,” said Hay. “I think that coming along there’s a lot more to the songs than perhaps and I love having people first realized. I think probably … I think as time goes on, my feeling is that people don’t nights that are think less of the songs. They tend to think more memorable...” of them or they go, ‘Oh yeah, well they’re kind of on the edge,’ and you listen to them, they still sound fine I think.” O&AW
