Overkill" is a song by Australian pop rock band Men at Work. It was released in 1983 as the second single from their second studio album, Cargo (see 1983 in music). It was written by lead singer Colin Hay. It peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100; No. 5 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart; and top 10 in Canada, Ireland, and Norway. The song was a departure from the group's style of reggae-influenced pop rock, featuring a melancholic feel musically and lyrically.
Produced by Peter McIan. 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 will be all right Perhaps it's just imagination. Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away.
This was the first single from Men at Work's second album, Cargo. Their first album, Business As Usual, was a huge hit and helped earn them a Grammy for Best New Artist. The band quickly went from a local Australian group to a worldwide success. This song played a big part in the Season 2 opener of the TV series Scrubs, which aired in 2002. The episode, which was called "My Overkill," finds Colin Hay performing this song are various points throughout, acting as a sort of muse (although by the end, he is a corpse). Hay got the gig after the show's star, Zach Braff, heard him perform at a Los Angeles club and brought him to the attention of the show's writer, Bill Lawrence, who became a fan and used Hay's solo song "Beautiful World" in a first season episode.
