Following the breakup of Men at Work in 1985, Hay released several major label solo albums, including Looking for Jack (Columbia) and Wayfaring Sons (MCA), to differing commercial success. In 2011, Hay commented on his early solo career, stating, “After Men at Work, for the better part of a decade, I was stumbling around being unfocused. It was pre-internet; I really had to try to find my audiences by going out on tour. Men at Work really didn’t build a foundational audience. We came in as a pop band with enormous radio success; once that goes away and the band breaks up the audience tends to go away with it. You’re left with what you want to make of it. When you start out doing those tours, you start again [and] you tend not to attract a very big number of people. I’d play to a hundred people or sometimes less.”
Hay joined as guest vocalist with the Incredible Penguins in 1985 for a cover of “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)”, a charity project for research on little penguins, which peaked at No. 10 on the Australian Kent Music Report in December.

Larrikin Music claimed that part of a flute riff from the band’s 1981 single “Down Under” was copied from “Kookaburra” originally written by a music teacher, Marion Sinclair, who died in 1988. In February 2010, a court ruled in favour of Larrikin Music. Although the petition from Larrikin Music requested 40% to 60% of royalties dating back to 1981 and future royalties, in July 2010 a judge awarded the plaintiff only 5% of royalties dating back to 2002 and the same amount of future royalties.
Hay released his 10th album, “American Sunshine”, on 18 August 2009 on Compass Records.
