The song is a perennial favourite on Australian radio and television , and topped the charts in the US and UK simultaneously in early 1983 . It was later used as a theme song by the crew of '' Australia II '' in their successful bid to win the America 's Cup in 1983 , and a remixed version appears during the closing credits of '' Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles '' . Men at Work played this song in the closing ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney , alongside other Australian artists
