"Overkill" by Victims of Circumstance

 

Melbourne, Australia new wave band Men at Work released "Overkill" in 1983, and the song reached #3 on the Billboard charts that year, propelled by what Cashbox magazine described as a "supple sax line."

Last year, Clearwater, Florida ska punk band Victims of Circumstance kept the sax line and added trombones and trumpets and more brass than the doorknob aisle at a Home Depot.
