Men at Work’s ‘Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive’ – Doyle’s ‘Not-So-Top-10′

Men At Work exploded in 1982 with their first two singles hitting #1: “Who Can It Be Now” and “Down Under”. In 1983, they hit chart pay dirt with “Overkill” (#3) and “It’s A Mistake” (#6). But it was their last Top 40 hit that I hoped Big Joe would play: “Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive”; it peaked at #28. I was going to request another one of their songs that I remembered from MTV, “Be Good, Johnny”, but it didn’t chart.
