"Man Overboard" is a song by Australian rock/pop group Do-Ré-Mi recorded in 1982 for the EP The Waiting Room.
The song was re-recorded in 1985 and released in May 1985 as the lead single from the group's debut studio album, Domestic Harmony.
[3][4] The song is the first Australian hit to include lyrics mentioning penis envy and pubic hair;[1] it also had no chorus.
Conway said, "We would hear radio DJs playing the song at the wrong speed and I would sound like Nick Cave incanting.
'"[9] In 2001, Carter recalled the problems Do-Ré-Mi had with their record company over "Man Overboard" for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation TV series Long Way to the Top, "There was a real hit-maker mentality ... people would say 'It can't be a hit – it doesn't have a chorus... You're talking about pubic hair, oh my God!
