"Down Under" is a song recorded by Australian rock band Men at Work. It was originally released in 1980 as the B-side to their first local single titled "Keypunch Operator", released before the band signed with Columbia Records. Both early songs were written by the group's co-founders, Colin Hay and Ron Strykert. The early version of "Down Under" has a slightly different tempo and arrangement from the later Columbia release. The most well known version was then released on Columbia in 1981 as the second single from their debut album Business as Usual (1981).

A canção foi um sucesso de vendas em vários países, incluindo o Reino Unido, onde alcançou o primeiro lugar nas paradas, sendo a única canção deles a entrar nos "Top 20" daquele país.

  • Down Under je píseň a , která byla nahrána australskou rockovou skupinou Men at Work. Byla součástí jejich prvního singlu z roku 1980 a stala se známou díky debutovému albu Business as Usual, vydanému v roce 1981. Píseň se stala hitem jak v australských, tak světových hudebních žebříčcích. Autoři se v ní snažili vyjádřit pocit rozmrzelosti nad poměry v tehdejší Austrálii. Trochu paradoxně ji nyní Australané vnímají jako píseň vlasteneckou. Název písně je jiným názvem pro Austrálii (viz Down Under), text písně obsahuje některá australská slova, typická pro tehdejší reálie. (cs)
