I remember being really excited that Michael Jackson sang on Rockwell’s song (I was around 10), and I think Jermaine had something to do with it as well. Colin Hay performed on Howard Stern right before HS went satellite and was excellent, I downloaded his newer acoustic version of Overkill immediately. Thanks a lot for the original.

A great band from Boston, Lazlo Bane, had a cover of "Overkill" (with a guest verse by Colin Hay) on their debut album and that was their first single, video and all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UBJVbYfiIQ

I’ll third the love for the track “Overkill.” I recommend the recent Colin Hay acoustic version, as well.

completely agree with theMike, except maybe for the long live part…

“Overkill” is one of the most underrated songs of the 80′s. I’ve loved it since I was a kid and it never gets any play anymore. It came on Sirius two weeks ago and I replayed it about 7 times in a row on my drive home.

On a cover tangent, Tenacious D threw it in at the end of a medley for an Australian radio station back in 2002:

Oh and the reason Rockwell got Michael Jackson to sing on that song? He’s Berry Gordy’s son. When the founder of Motown asks you a favor to sing on his son’s song, you do.

“Overkill” is a great song. Just undeniable.

But do yourself a favor and listen to “Business As Usual” in its entirety. It’s a great ALBUM.
