105: There's Nothing Wrong With My State of Mental Health

105. "Who Can It Be Now?" by Men At Work {#1; 7/82} [iTunes? Yes.] {Video: Who Can It Be Now? Highlights of the video:
At 0:28: Wrist-flick watch-check.
At 1:17: Colin Hay chest hair peeking out from sports coat.
At 2:06: Scary drummer rocking the "overalls with no shirt" look.
Last minute of the video: Guitar player wearing tight-whities.}

"Who can it be knocking at my door? Go away. Don't come 'round here no more. Can't you see that it's late at night? I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right. All I wish is to be alone. Go away. Don't you invade my home."

"I like it here with my childhood friends."

Sax and psychosis.

Pop and paranoia.

It's a "wheelhouse" song. It's a "sing-along-ability" song. And, it's by some Aussies. I don't know why, but it seems I'm predisposed to like songs by Australians. I blame my brother. And Paul Hogan. And The Man From Snowy River. And crazy-eyed Collin Hay.

And did I mention the "overalls with no shirt" look? Awesome!
