When they first recorded and released Take On Me back in 1984 the result wasn't so bright because the song sounded like an unfinished demo, it didn't chart anywhere. So they've got back in the studio and worked on the track again and finally re-released it in 1985 with probably the most iconic video in the music scene ever.
Written by the entire members of the group Magne Furuholmen, Morten Harket and Pal Waaktaar with the famous Linn Drum Machine.
VIDEO
The video was taken at Kim's Cafe (now called Savoy Cafe) in London in sixteen weeks because the video included sketch drawing animation scenes which made the video iconic and ahead of its time. It made A-ha win 6 awards at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards including Best New Artist in a Video, Best Concept Video, Most Experimental Video, Best Direction in a Video, Best Special Effects in a Video, and Viewer's Choice.
