This was my introduction to Colin Hay. My wife and I started watching scrubs in 2007. This year (2024) we saw Colin perform live. He's 70yrs old now and still sounds the same. His music always reminds me of scrubs and garden state
Great John Belushi reference at the end. On a serious note though, Colin Hay still has that distinctive voice that he had in '82. Not many people can still hit their notes from thirty years prior. Overkill is still my favorite Men At Work song. And on a sadder note, R.I.P. Greg Ham. His flute/sax playing was the glue that kept Colin's lyrics and music gelled.
Greg's suicide devasted Colin...The rest of the band are a bunch of asswipes...They "threw Greg under the bus!" Let him get sued by himself, thus leading to his sad untimely demise!
Colin is still great. I saw him a year or two ago on his own and he is still an amazing musician. His weathered voice adds so much more depth to this song.
Too true. Every single one of them matched and improved the scene they were used in, very few shows can do that consistently throughout its entire run.
The creators of Scrubs must have a great taste in music. All songs I've heard on the show has been good! Men at work, The fray and Joseph Arthur are just some examples.
Actually it's Overkill by Colin Hay, who was the lead singer of an Aussie band called 'Men at Work' this version is quite hard to track down, as their album version isn't quite the same... But I think I got it off the Scrubs soundtrack in the end.
best comedy medical show hands down(Drama medical - House MD takes the cake). I've watched the entire show with my best friend 3 times start to finish and probably will watch again(except Zombie season obviously(but thats not real scrubs anyways)). Thank you Netflix!
This song could be made for Scrubs. However, since the song came first, Scrubs was definitely made for this song. All of Scrubs that is, not just this episode.
A lot of us did...but the younger kids...it's nice we don't have to shove it down their thoughts sometimes like our parents seemed to do. They hear it, it's new to them and they like it. Feels good...
I love CH and MAW... Huge fan, so I say this respectfully... this acoustic version is better than the original recording. Hate and loathing expected and accepted towards my comment.... but I'll wear it all for a few thumbs up.
Colin Hay was the last concert I saw with my Pa. I miss him. I miss laughing with him. But too much has happened...hell I wonder if hes even alive. I just remember drinking together as we watched and laughed and sang. My dementia is getting worse though so its too late. Too late for anything. But I never stopped loving you Dad.
Chrsta Miller (who plays Perry's wife, Jordan) is married in real life to the show's creator Bill Lawrence was responsible for choosing the songs for the series. She also did so for his other show, Ted Lasso (where she got an emmy nomination for music supervisor.). She does the same for Shrinking and Cougar Town.
This show was so underrated, it’s the BEST medical show (tied with House). It was hilarious, sad, engaging and honest (not necessarily with the medical stuff, but how it can be working in a hospital). I miss it.
Beginning is at the corner of Riverside Dr and Laurel Canyon Blvd in Valley Village. Pat's is still there. 4n20 is a bomb-ass diner right around the corner. I think about this scene every time I'm there. The hospital they shot was a few blocks west down Riverside Dr.
