Colin Hay - Overkill
This is the acoustic cover of Hay’s 1980’s hit with Men at Work. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. Can’t get it out of my head. Featured on an episode of Scrubs entitled “My Overkill” where Hay keeps popping up throughout the episode singing different clips of the song. Perfect montage that made the song even more stand out. Even if you don’t like Scrubs, you gotta admit - the song is pretty awesome. Much better then the original in my opinion…
A special thank you to HappyCap - I couldn’t find this version anywhere and the tumblr upload limit didn’t inspire to look any harder. Enjoy!

Colin Hay - Overkill
I can’t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I’ll be alright
Perhaps it’s just imagination
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It’s time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there’s pretty lights
And though there’s little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day
I can’t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I’ll be alright
It’s just overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
