"Everybody Wants to Work"
'Cos Life Hurts is the 1985 debut album from Uncanny X-Men,produced by Rick Pinko Sims (aka Skyhooks' Red Symons). Fronted by the enigmatic Brian Mannix, he was comfortable wearing tight lycra pants, a furry sporan, bleached mullet and a bit of makeup. "Everybody Wants to Work" was the hit single in 1984. Early 1985 saw the X-Men doing support gigs for Rod Stewart. Their popularity exploded across Australia with the huge hit singles "50 Years","Still Waiting" and "Party".

Saw Brian play last night in Melbourne. Still funny, cheeky and a great sound. The crowd has got just a wee bit older since festival hall!
And as flock of seagulls said, keep up the great work! Captain Fancypants of CDU - the band
