Men At Work, "Down Under"
Misheard Lyrics:
Where we grow cold and much younger
or
Where women bowl and men thunder
or
Where women blow and have fun there
or
Where women blow and men chunder
or
Where one-man glow in then thunder
or
Where beetles glow and men shudder
or
Where women go and men plunder
or
Where women bowl and men thunder
or
Where women blow and have fun there
or
Where women blow and men chunder
or
Where one-man glow in then thunder
or
Where beetles glow and men shudder
or
Where women go and men plunder
Original Lyrics:
Where beer does flow and men chunder
or
Where women glow and men chunder
or
Where women glow and men chunder
In Australia "chunder" means to throw up after excessive drinking, both of the correct lyrics are mentioned in the song, which helps to explain why there are so many different variations. According to Greg Ham, the song is about Australians who are abroad and have come back home. As Bob Baker points out in email, It is actually about a bunch of guys from Australian on an Opium binge. Think about it; A den in Bombay (An Opium den), Travelling in a fried out Combie (Combie is an australian RV)on a hippie trail, head full of zombie (zombie is slang for Opium) Buying bread (another slang word for Opium or Heroin) from a man in Brussels
