Land Down Under
Hi everybody  Here is my version of one of my favorite 80's tunes "Land Down Under" by Men At Work. I thought i would do a little video to go along with it. Excuse the editing but its my first go with after effects which blows my mind :) The video is here https://youtu.be/c_nc6fPlubU And the soundcloud link is here (you can download it!) https://soundcloud.com/si.ollinson/land-down-underThanks for listening and if you like it please share :) Cheers Si

Thanks for listening and the kind words everybody!! "Where beer does flow and men chunder" - I think chunder is an Australian slang word for being sick". Makes the song even funnier in my opinion. I really enjoyed doing this one so Im thinking of revamping loads of 80's tunes ( ideas appreciated haha) I really do find Sonar easier to get my ideas across nowadays. Either that or Im just getting old and care less  Cheers Si

"Chunder" or "technicolor yawn" or "chuck". Good old Aussie slang for, to throw up, after a good drinking session. Cheers

Yeah! Super cool! This is how a cover version should be done. Not trying to copy the original as close as possible. Leave that to the wedding bands. Love the punk pop approach of your version : ) Pro sounding production & mix !
Cheers,
Daniel

Well, that was a blast! Having played the song in a cover band while it was popular during the 80's I loved this version - never sounded like that before but I wish it had.
