Which of these products is mentioned in the 1983 US No. 1 single "Down Under" by Men at Work?
Correct answer: Vegemite

I used to think they were saying “give me a bite of my sandwich.” It was the 80’s. We didn’t have access to Google to find the words!!
HardFeelings
I think that song pretty much single-handedly introduced vegamite to the U.S. Everybody wanted to know what it was! Too bad it’s an”acquired” 👅 taste.

"Down Under" and "who can it be now" were definitely their biggest hits. Very popular back in the day, and still make people move when they hear them.

Still love the song … the opened for Fleetwood mac in Arizona (1981? who my bf wanted to see) and some ppl booed Men at Work!! I was so ashamed!
hi
HardFeelings, laugh, British, we do Marmite and Bovril. Vegemite as well. yeast based products that taste really strongly of salt and beef. Good for gravy, I personally go yuck as something on toast!

There is an episode of Will & Grace where Grace and Will sing “Who Can It Be Now” as their voicemail message. Hilarious! 😂

HardFeelings, you're exactly right! I went to a restaurant that served it as well as ostrich. The waiter said that it compared to peanut butter for Americans but he only meant in popularity lol because there's no comparison lol & you're right, it's an acquired taste! I like it though, and ostrich
Monique
Tish, me too

HardFeelings, I could not acquire a taste for this so my Aussie girlfriend said I could not acquire her either.
