About this song
- This song came out in 1985. It was banned on commercial radio in Australia because the lyrics were considered too controversial and explicit. Sung entirely by Deborah Conway, with no backing vocals and very little, very basic instrumentation, Man Overboard is an angry song about relationship dysfunction. Australian women of a certain age know all the lyrics, just as women in the 70's knew all the lyrics to Helen Reddy's I Am Woman. .
