Who Can It Be Now is a 1981 song by Australian band Men at Work, built around a distinctive saxophone riff and a narrator wondering who is knocking at his door. The track became a worldwide hit and has stayed familiar through radio, film and television, later finding a second life online as a short meme clip for unexpected arrivals and reveals. Its simple question and catchy hook make it easy to reuse across languages, including Russian-language edits that spell the title phonetically, which helps explain why the same few seconds keep appearing in new videos.
About this sound
The saxophone hook from Men at Work's Who Can It Be Now, used in memes and edits when an unexpected visitor, message or reveal suddenly appears.
The clip opens with a punchy saxophone riff over a driving, slightly tense rhythm, followed by the teasing question at the heart of the song, creating a feeling of suspense mixed with playful curiosity. Its bright, instantly familiar melody makes a viewer lean in, expecting a door to open or a surprise to be revealed, while the upbeat tempo keeps the moment light rather than threatening. Because the hook is so recognisable, it works almost like a musical punchline on its own, signalling that someone unexpected is about to appear without needing any explanation or context.
