Overkill (Men at Work song)
"Overkill" is a song by Australian pop rock band Men at Work. It was released in 1983 as the second single from their second studio album, ''Cargo'' (see 1983 in music). It was written by lead singer Colin Hay. It peaked at No. 3 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100; No. 5 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart; and top 10 in Canada, Ireland and Norway. The song was a departure from the group's style of reggae-influenced pop rock, featuring a melancholic feel musically and lyrically.
