Good list
Although I’d probably put Overkill and Who Can It Be Now? at #1 and #2.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
maria at #5 is a stretch
but i really couldn’t remember any other good ones
Man with Two Hearts or something like that is pretty good
There Are 5
Top MAW songs? I know 2.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Me too
And I thought one of them was “Safety Dance”

No, That Was
“Men Without Hats”. I’m up to 3 now: “Who Can It Be Now”, “Down Under” and “Overkill”. I refuse to put “Be Good, Johnny” on this list.

Yeah, I don't know their entire repertoire, but I kind of think they had only four good ones
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Be Good Be Good Be Good Be Good, Johnny
“Are you going to play football this year, John?”
“No!”
“Oh, well you must be going to play cricket this year then, are you Johnny?”
“No! no! no!”
“Boy, you sure are a funny kid, Johnny, [laugh] but I like you!
So tell me, what kind of a boy are you, John?”
But I would pick the underrated Underground to bump Maria.
Overkill is their one song that holds up today. The others, while still catchy, sound like the Reagan era.
It's not a particularly good song
I just always found the spoken part during the bridge amusing. These days, not even Don Henley could get away with doing something like that.
The only list harder to make up than a
“Top Five Men at Work Songs” list might be “Top Five Royals Shortstops.”
Some other suggestions:
Top Five Steven Segal monologues
Top Five Homeruns (or outfield fly balls) hit by Joey Gathright
Top Five David Ortiz baserunning gems
BTW, I visited what I believe to be the only baseball diamand in Paris yesterday afternoon. It is in the Bois de Vincennes. A very lonely place. It looked like the type of field you would find at an American high school which was kinda hurting for money. But the lines were chalked so I think it had been used recently.

Collin Hay
Can we include a list of his good songs also? Once he left Men at Work he had some good ones. I think he had about 5 or 6 from the Scrubs soundtrack.
In the Royals game of life, Neifi Perez is the rake.
I've Seen Colin
Hay performing “Overkill” on “Scrubs”. He’s just kind of an unseen presence in the background of the episode. I’d forgotten about that song. It definitely deserves to be on the list. Now, if I could just remember 2 more. I see Matty486 has seen him on “Scrubs”, too.

I like the acoustical, one-man-one-guitar version of "Overkill" even better than the original studio version
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
