Late in 2016, we had the honour of singing with Colin Hay, the incredible talent behind Australian 80s band Men At Work. Hundreds came out to learn our backups to his smash hit "Overkill" at Brooklyn's The Hall At MP. We rehearsed the parts and then Colin came out to sing lead. And then he gave a private concert for everyone in the room (with Colin's approval we'll get those vids up too) If you love this one as much as we do, share it widely!
Colin's new album Fierce Mercy is due out March 3, 2017 on Compass Records. You can pre-order it at www.colinhay.com/ + check out his US tour dates here www.colinhay.com/tour
Keep up with us at choirchoirchoir.com. We are about to hit the West Coast (SF, Portland, Vancouver + LA) for some Choir! sessions. www.choirchoirchoir.com/home#/... Hope to see you there!

This song is criminally underrated.

Colin Hay is not given enough credit!! This man is a legend! Thumbs up if you agree! I can't wait to see the movie about him!

Is it normal to just start crying in the middle of this? Asking for a friend...

I come back to this video every time I need to know things will be okay and there are still good people out there. 🥺 tonight is one of those night. Praying for things to change.

What an inspired treatment of this incredible song! The moment the audience began to sing, i did not see that coming. Thank you to everyone involved this project for giving me the chills (in a good way) and putting a smile on my face today.

Love this song, wasn't prepared to start crying when the choir started. Great performance.

For a few minutes, this video took me away from the insanity of the world, and brought me to a much better place. Thank you very much for posting this.

The words to the song Overkill are so powerful. It was just a pop song when I was a kid, But, now it has meaning.

Got goosebumps hearing how the choir's vocal arrangement embraced Colin's solo vocals. Gives the song a whole new dimension.

Colin’s voice is like a fine wine. Gets better with age. Just saw him last tour. Even better in person.

This song kills me every time. My anxiety. My depression. Made so stupidly beautiful.

"ghosts appear and fade away"

@gluonjck63

That is simply one of the most heartfelt and wondrous things I have seen. Both happy and melancholy at the same time. Absolutely fantastic idea of using a choir .

Come back sometimes to get chills again. That many people all singing "Ghosts appear and fade away," just sublime.

Holy Shit - - didn't see that coming. Pardon my naïveté, but I thought it was just a normal, innocent looking crowd & wow did they give it a nice kick. Thank you for sharing this gem of an original classic!
