Colin Hay reworked his vocals with Australian producer, Luude, to create the new surprise remix that’s now one of the most popular songs on TikTok. After becoming the soundtrack to a new dance trend, “Down Under” has been used over 43,000 times on the app with just the #1 top video garnering over 20 million plays alone. The track’s virality has led to it being added to Spotify playlists like “Happy Hits,” “Viral Dance,” and “Big On The Internet” and has raked in nearly 16 million streams.

In the words of Colin Hay himself, “It seems to be getting noticed among many young humans, most of whom were not even walking around when the original was released back in 1982. I am more than happy that people are still enjoying it.” We’re working closely with Colin to find a way to celebrate the remix of the track and its incredible success.
