Men at Work is an Australian rock band formed in the late 1970s, best known for melding new wave, pop rock and reggae-influenced rhythms. Emerging from the Melbourne music scene, the group achieved international commercial success in the early 1980s with concise, melody-driven songs characterized by catchy hooks, prominent flute and saxophone lines, and literate, often wryly observational lyrics. Their arrangements typically combine upbeat tempos with tight vocal harmonies and economical production, producing radio-friendly singles and accessible album tracks. Men at Work are widely associated with the era’s crossover between post-punk sensibilities and mainstream pop.
