Happy 70th birthday to Men at Work’s Colin Hay. As the lead singer of the Australian group, Hay taught listeners in a slightly tongue-in-cheek fashion about being from a land “Down Under.” Of course, there is a rich tradition of music from Australia and neighboring nations like New Zealand that thrives to this day.

To pay a birthday tribute to Hay, let’s play some music from his part of the globe.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs from Australia and New Zealand should we play?
