Down Under by Men At Work: the song that made vegemite famous
When Men At Work wrote their 1982 hit, "Down Under," little did they know that it would become a worldwide smash.

Unpack the meaning of this Aussie hit in the new episode of the Behind The Song podcast. Watch the video episode and subscribe to the Behind The Song Youtube channel: https://bit.ly/2DBF4wJ
