Welcome to the Monday edition of the Forgotten 45 at 3:45! It was on this date in 1982 that Men At Work’s debut album “Business As Usual” hit #1 on the album chart, so to celebrate, here’s the 3rd and final top 10 song from the album, “Be Good Johnny”.

The Australian band exploded on to the charts in early 1982 with two straight #1 hits “Who Can It Be Now”, and “Down Under”, this propelled “Business As Usual” to #1 on the album charts on November 13th, 1982, where it stayed for 15 straight weeks and sold over 6 million copies in the US.

“Be Good Johnny” technically didn’t chart on the top 40, but it was a #3 rock hit for Men At Work, with today’s Forgotten 45!
