In the Music Video World this will forever be known as the "Star Wars A New Hope" Music Video when it comes to the High Quality Visuals and Effects in a Music Video for that point in time...the Take On Me Video is The Spark that caused others to step up the game and go all out when doing Music Videos
I think this was actually put in the “pop rock” genre. But what do “they” know? They put flute-playing. Jethro Tull in the “Hard Rock/Alternative category at the Grammys and robbed Metallica of their first “Best Album” in that category.
@@chrislc35 while I think a-Ha is generally pop, this song was in the ‘new wave’ era, debuting originally in ‘83, then remixed and rereleased two more times, the last in the US, and on the album Hunting High and Low. So the time is still right, but not exactly the genre. Also Duran Duran is pop too, new wave was more like New Order, or Missing Persons, Thomas Dolby and such.
At the 1986 MTV music awards A-ha won eight out of eleven awards they were in contention for. Their video for "Take On Me" earned 6 awards out of 8 nominations: Best new artist (other nominees were Whitney Houston, Pet Shop boys, Simply red), Best concept video, Most experimental video, Best direction, Best special effects and Viewers choice. They were also nominated for Best group video and Video of the year. «Take on me» was also nominated for Best pop/rock video at the American MTV awards in 1986. 😉 Coming from Norway myself, this band are legends here. Morten Harket (lead singer) is 61 now but still looks in his 40’s and can still sing those high notes. They have so many more great songs than «Take on me».
Go Norway!! I love this band, they have SO many hits💖 Use to go to school with Morten ( the singer) and his sister. The Video was really big on mtv, one of a kind. 🌸😆💖💖💖
This is one of my favorite bands. The live unplugged version of this song is outstanding. You might want to check it out. The lead singer is Morten Harket. He has amazing range. His solo work is also dope.
One of the most iconic sounds of the 80's and music videos ever. I saw somewhere that this music video was considered the 4th most influential ever, I mean at the time, kinda till 1999 or something. It's crazy to see so much creativity in one song video at that time. Marvelous. Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever but also for other good stuff like this. My era. Salutes and respect. Next there's the continuation of this song, it's called "The Sun Always shines on TV ".
A-ha is the one band alive today that I really, really, really want to see live! Morten Harket has one of the best singing voices in my book! He was always fighting with Freddie Mercury for my 1# spot, til Dimash came along. 😂🤣😂 But seriously, A-ha has a great catalog of beautiful songs! One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking songs they have is "Hunting High and Low." ❤❤❤
"Hunting high and low"? Not my favourite, but they have a lot of cool songs that set the mood. To the song “Lifelines”, I want to fly, to the song “Over the treetops” a warm autumn mood is created, to the song “Riding the crest” I immediately want to take a surfboard and dive into the ocean, and the song “Velvet” makes me love, to the song “Touchy” I want to jump out and tear everyone on the dance floor.
Morten Harket does a slow ballad version that is just beautiful. After 30+ years he still retains his good looks and incredible voice range. For me I prefer the ballad version as more touching and memorable as a love song.
The animation technique is called roto scoping. This video was the first major example of the technique, and it was done before computers, by hand! It stands up to time.
@@kutark he still is! Check out the masker singer. He was the viking of this season. He is 61 but still very attractive, looks not more than 45 + in my opinion.
308.000 units sold on 1st release. Big gamble for Warner. Put great ideas together and 2 guys in a small studio out this untouchable sketch together The technique is Rotoscoping. a laborious timescale. If you get it right the results are fantastic. . Well done team. Outstanding!
Timeless, iconic 80's synth-pop! In concert, to this very day, the moment Ah-ha strikes up the beat, the audience gets the cue right away and is out of their seats! Then comes the signature keyboard melody and a huge cheer erupts throughout -- and everyone is clapping and dancing!
This was the coolest music video back in the day and it still holds today as captivating! And it’s a great song and he has an awesome voice to hit those notes!❤
This is the video that pretty much made watching MTV very popular. You have no idea how groundbreaking the special affects were when this came out. And if I remember correctly, this is a European band that couldn't speak English at the time they released this song. But not 100% sure on that.
They're Norwegian, so most likely they spoke fluent English, if with an accent. Norway, Sweden and Denmark (and Finland) teach English from like, 3rd grade, throughout their entire schooling, as a main subject.
They absolutely could speak English. As mentioned, the English teachings in the Scandinavian countries have been prioritized for decades. The main songwriter (Paul Waaktaar) spent a whole year reading Penguin Classics in English when he had finished High School, waiting for the keyboard player (Magne/Mags Furuholmen) to finish, who was a year younger. Then they moved to London, and lived there for 2-3 years before the release. Paul is a perfectionist, so you can be sure the grammatical errors are included under what we might call "artistic freedom", as in the Beatles' "Love me do" - the last pointed out by the singer Morten Harket in an interview.
This was several years before the terminology "boyband" was invented. This was a real band, formed naturally among young people who knew each other. They also make their own songs, both the music and the lyrics.
I really like you Guys but my first ever DISlike. HOW COULD YOU? Lol 3,000 HAND DRAWINGS taking 2 people 4 months, this was the most-watched video EVER on MTV and revolutionary at the time and even now one of the first-ever RUclips videos with over ONE BILLION views and your viewers saw..................................... YOU TOO !!!! all we saw is some floating shapes behind you so we missed the "wink"/ "Finger" and all the other subtleties. I have seen 32 different reactions and there is no Copyright problem with this wonderful video so why couldn't WE ALSO ENJOY IT???
Guys if you want more songs like that when you have this "Damn I know that song" moment then continue reacting to Queen - I checked you only reacted to Bohemian Rhapsody from them, but Queen has tons of songs that you definitely have heard somewhere, sometimes you maybe have not heard that song itself but you will recognize the melody because of sampling : "Show Must Go On" "We Will Rock You" "We are the Champions" "Another one bites the Dust" "Don't stop me now" "I want to break free"
Ironically "The Sun Always Shines on TV" and "Scoundrel Days" are way better IMO, and I never even heard those until a couple of years ago. "Take On Me" was, and is always played like A-HA was a one hit wonder or something, which was far from the case.
One of the best bands in the 80s and they've just got better and better (and rockier) over the years, and they're still going strong. You should check out more of their stuff, they're fantastic live too.
Classic. Whenever I heard this song, I can’t help but smile. Brings back memories of my childhood. Friends gather together to watch MTV for all those music videos. The videos were as important as the song itself. Girls at school having their Teen magazines. The fellas with their Walkmans. This song just brings back so many memories. Good memories.
grew up with all of it. so badly missed yet so many great memories. When MTV actually played videos. Brought back many memories. More of this . Doing some of the MTV videos of the amazing 80's and 90's music and videos.
This video was extremely popular world-wide und most everyone knew it. Das funny thing about this song's story ist that at das end? Everyone was thinking..."[A-HA!] I get it". :-) Like your reactions much (Liked und Subbed). Have a fun day, be safe, und help others if ya can. Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
I was reading that the animation sketches were done by hand (before there was CGI) and took 16 weeks and 2000 drawings to get the final result. There's something said about quality work in doing it by hand.
Love your reactions, grew up in the 80's ( Jr high and high school) ,but I have to say not a fan of you super imposing the video over the top of yourselves, for people who have never seen the video. That being said you guys are still my go to reactors, much love. . . .
Yeah… yt blocks our uploads and therefore the only way they can be seen is if we do it this way…. Otherwise, they either sit for a very long time before we can actually post them, or we’ll never be able to post them at all because of copyrights… it totally would not be our choice to do it this way either so… 🤷🏽♀️.. ☺️ Thank you for still tuning in with us.. it is most certainly appreciated! ❤️
@@AsiaandBJ these social media fools they're not happy making making all the money they make off creators like you guys, they want you to know that they have you under their thumb too. . . Much love and I appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos
Nací en los 90 pero escucho esta música y me emociono hasta las lágrimas como si extrañara algo que no conocí 💜💜💜💜💜👍😢me encanta este tema es decir mis favoritos! !😊😊
Loving your reactions . Top tunes reacted to by top people . Been sitting watching for last two hours . Thank you , God bless and keep up the good work . Love from Scotland.
You can try Sun alway shine on TV - it starts where this video ends - or I call your name - there Morton used his low part of the beautiful voice. They also have beautiful balads like Stay On These Roads or Crying In The Rain (the second is not originaly theirs). Or Manhattan Skyline - there are rock vibes there.
Considered breakthrough at the time. One of the many iconic songs of the 80s. Best decade for music. The 70s as well. Thats why new artists are forever sampling songs from the 70s and 80s. They know, best music ever. 😁
a-ha "take on me" - it's a timeless song, a song for eternity. But there are many more from a-ha, like "the living day lights" or "sun always shine on tv". I recommend alphaville - "big in japan" or "forever young" to you. 80's forever ❤
When MTV first came out in the ‘80’s it introduced the world to non stop music videos that gave the bands and singers a whole new way and format to get people to listen to their music. A great music video then would make a song way more popular than it might of been otherwise. So bands made a big effort to produce fun and entertaining videos then.
The artwork drawings in the video are known as "storyboard" drawings which were usually done for movies to show what the movie scenes will look like before they filmed anything - I'm sure they're not drawn by hand anymore, most likely computer animation now. I know because my husband used to work in advertising as an artist/illustrator in the 1980s to early 1990s and storyboards were also done for tv commercials and printed advertisements. Anyway, I love this song, his voice is amazing and the video brings back memories of the 80s.
It is called rotoscoping. "Rotoscoping describes the process of manually altering film footage one frame at a time. ... The technique was originally achieved by filming scenes in live action and then projecting the film onto glass panels so an animator could trace the action in every frame, thus capturing the movement of the actors."
This is Joe Cocker at Woodstock 1969 he was 25 years old. He always sang with so much deep soul and emotion. Watching him was an out of body experience. He passed in 2014. RIP Joe Cocker!
You guys are great. Great reaction to an old and once very popular song. You are very kind. If you find it meaningful, then try to react to another popular European song of that era - The Captain Of Her Heart (The Double). You will not regret!
One of the most iconic music videos ever made.
One of a handful of Videos on RUclips with over 1 BILLION Views.

@@jason42080 This and Money For Nothing by Dire Straits.
A fun 80's mv. This was pretty cutting edge at the time.
i dont think anyone thinks of this as rock. its just great pop. his voice is amazing.
I think this was actually put in the “pop rock” genre. But what do “they” know? They put flute-playing. Jethro Tull in the “Hard Rock/Alternative category at the Grammys and robbed Metallica of their first “Best Album” in that category.
We called it "new wave" back in the day...
@@MaxZorin8 new wave was earlier, duran duran etc
Benny Harvey R.I.P big man
@@chrislc35 while I think a-Ha is generally pop, this song was in the ‘new wave’ era, debuting originally in ‘83, then remixed and rereleased two more times, the last in the US, and on the album Hunting High and Low.

you beat me to it. the live version is incredible
It’s in Deadpool
And he still sounds amazing
@@jerrybragg1523 Absolutely! Dude looks and sounds amazing :D
One of the most iconic sounds of the 80's and music videos ever.
I saw somewhere that this music video was considered the 4th most influential ever, I mean at the time, kinda till 1999 or something.
It's crazy to see so much creativity in one song video at that time. Marvelous.
Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever but also for other good stuff like this. My era.
Salutes and respect.
Next there's the continuation of this song, it's called "The Sun Always shines on TV ".
This is when MTV was lit
@@BM-hb2mr for sure.
The 4 most iconic / influential music videos ever:
Take On Me
Sledgehammer
Thriller
Land of Confusion
There hasn't been a better video since 1999 or 1985 for that matter.
He’s 60 now and his voice is just as good. Total heartthrob in the 80s. He has a five octave voice and they had lots of great pop songs
Not to mention, he looks like he aged like 20 yrs instead of 40 - and he can still do that high voice.
Music in the '80s was the best! So many iconic singers and sounds.
B4 internets music and literature was a big thing. Hard to beleive I know.
A-ha is the one band alive today that I really, really, really want to see live! Morten Harket has one of the best singing voices in my book! He was always fighting with Freddie Mercury for my 1# spot, til Dimash came along. 😂🤣😂
But seriously, A-ha has a great catalog of beautiful songs! One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking songs they have is "Hunting High and Low." ❤❤❤
Oh, don't forget Angelina Jordan!
I have different #1, but okay.
"Hunting high and low"? Not my favourite, but they have a lot of cool songs that set the mood. To the song “Lifelines”, I want to fly, to the song “Over the treetops” a warm autumn mood is created, to the song “Riding the crest” I immediately want to take a surfboard and dive into the ocean, and the song “Velvet” makes me love, to the song “Touchy” I want to jump out and tear everyone on the dance floor.
The unplugged version of this is amazing.... completely changes the tone of the song.
Morten Harket does a slow ballad version that is just beautiful. After 30+ years he still retains his good looks and incredible voice range. For me I prefer the ballad version as more touching and memorable as a love song.
@@LagrangePoint901 I think you'll find that is the MTV Unplugged performance I'm referring to. 😉

Man, all the chicks loved these guys back in the '80s, when I was in highschool listening to Maiden and Priest..
This always reminds of another song from the 80's "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls. Has a similar vibe to me.
I mean the dude looked like Patrick Swayze and was pretty fit lol ;)
@@kutark he still is! Check out the masker singer. He was the viking of this season. He is 61 but still very attractive, looks not more than 45 + in my opinion.

Me too
Thanks for the love. You ABSOLUTELY must listen to the live, unplugged version of this. So different and soooo much better
To this day, I still consider this the best music video ever made.
Ooohhhh this is from my childhood. Grew up with A-HA because my older sister was a big fan. And they ruled in Scandinavia first real boyband IMO
This was several years before the terminology "boyband" was invented. This was a real band, formed naturally among young people who knew each other. They also make their own songs, both the music and the lyrics.
I always think if CORKY ROMANO when I hear this. This song is so nostalgic... Oh, the days when MTV played music. Love the 80's!!!!! 💗💗💗
Whoever made this video was before his time for sure!

One of my favorites from my childhood. So good still. Miss good music like this with real uniqueness and artistic talent for that time.
The sequel song to this is "The Sun Always Shines On TV", the start of the video of which tells us the ending to the love story from this one.
I was reading that the animation sketches were done by hand (before there was CGI) and took 16 weeks and 2000 drawings to get the final result. There's something said about quality work in doing it by hand.
Actually 3000 drawings. Incredible work.
HS Class Of 1986!!!!!
I was 25 yrs old!! Just adored this song ESPECIALLY the amazing video. Really incredible.xx
This song is more pop than rock. Great reaction❤️
I hope you do more 80’s songs preferably new wave like The Cure and The Smiths🙂
They used a technique called rotoscoping extensively throughout the video.
Another music video that shows just how cool the 1980's were. I feel so lucky that got to live my teen years right on through that decade.....
Been binge watching your channel..my new favorite reaction channel !!! Keep up the good work !!

80's summer songs were the best...
Check out True by Spandau Ballet
or If You Leave by OMD or Eyes Without A Face by Billy Idol.
MTV days and Club Days dancing the night away 👌😎🤘
Your last reaction (Heart) you said "This is so 70's". That is true, but this song just screams 80's!
You can try Sun alway shine on TV - it starts where this video ends - or I call your name - there Morton used his low part of the beautiful voice. They also have beautiful balads like Stay On These Roads or Crying In The Rain (the second is not originaly theirs). Or Manhattan Skyline - there are rock vibes there.
First reaction I've seen to this song. Great job!
You should react to "A-HA - Summer Moved On".Amazing song from 2000
I was 4 when this song came out (1985) ..Classic!!
This was my favorite song in college. It's great.
Take on me has a great vibe to it
En la época que buena música se acompañaba por la historia que los videos contaba.
Excelente trabajo.
One of the first videos on MTV
Considered breakthrough at the time. One of the many iconic songs of the 80s. Best decade for music. The 70s as well. Thats why new artists are forever sampling songs from the 70s and 80s. They know, best music ever. 😁
I remember seeing this video as a kid and it tripped me the fuck out!! Lol. It makes me remember pop up video.
ahead of it’s time in stop motion animation with 80’s sound to perfection an vocals off the chain
This video won 6 awards at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1986 and this song has sold over 7 million copies. Not a bad days work.
This video is what made me start reading comics and romance books. I was 12 yrs old and oooh he was so cute to me back then. 😆
a-ha "take on me" - it's a timeless song, a song for eternity. But there are many more from a-ha, like "the living day lights" or "sun always shine on tv". I recommend alphaville - "big in japan" or "forever young" to you. 80's forever ❤
This is a beautiful song!

Shame we could not really see it...lol

You guys are great. Great reaction to an old and once very popular song. You are very kind. If you find it meaningful, then try to react to another popular European song of that era - The Captain Of Her Heart (The Double). You will not regret!
If I remember correctly, this video won all sorts of awards at the time. It was a ground breaking video.
Simply the best.
Best song EVER!! ❤
Asia, you MUST listen to the acoustic unplugged version of this. Blows this one away; promise
The Outsiders huh?! One of my favorite 80s movies.
