I would never have expected to hear this on RP. And (although I don't hate the song) I hope I never do again.

I re-hated this song, but then went back... Take On Me - the literal version and I'm laughing all over again...

This track reminds me of two nerdy guys, neighbours of a mate of mine from my high school years, who were A HA freaks...their big thing was to go to their local record shop in Caracas and hide all the band´s records so noone else could buy em...Wrangler and Enio, more or less the beavis and buthead of my Caracas years.

I listened to their debut record about 1000 times – good memories. A friend played a few tunes off a record that was release about 5 or 6 years ago, I think, and I thought it was very good. Who knew. {#Think}

I never expected to hear this is on RP - Loving it! It's 8:30 in the morning here in Aus & this is such a good song to get the morning energized :)

Yes, the music video has clearly held up better than the song.

I was about to exit out of it, thinking it was that MTV version, but then I realized it was SO much better!  Thanks for the laugh, dolfan (and themotion) - I think I have to like this song again... {#Roflol}{#Cheers}

Okay - I live in a very radio-isolated place, but they play this song at least three times a day. I still don't get the musical attraction (I've seen the video, and while it's wildly-creative, the music is just lame.)  Take on me?  What the hell does that mean?  This song should be banished.  I'm sure they have better stuff, so bring it on.

Somewhat forgettable pop saved by the amazing "etch-a-skech" video that accompanied it...  ...and though I say "somewhat forgettable" — it will no doubt be swimming in the black recess's of my brain for hours afterward...

That's the way to make some of us feel old—thanks!  I not only had an 8-track, I had a transistor radio to listen to The Beatles when they first came out!

I can't explain why but this song really moves me.  That chorus!  I always turn it up.  I don't think I've ever heard any of their other songs but this one is enough!  :)
