The a-ha channel is the official RUclips home of the Norwegian Pop trio a-ha, who achieved global stardom in 1985 when their debut single, “Take On Me” from the album ‘Hunting High And Low’ topped the charts in 36 different countries on its way to becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time, and the 5th most streamed song of the 20th century. a-ha struck chart gold again with “The Sun Always Shines On T.V.” and “Cry Wolf,” and recorded the theme to the 1987 James Bond film “The Living Daylights”. The a-ha RUclips channel is proud to host the music videos from these hits alongside live performance videos, lyric videos, and the solo work of band members Morten Harket (lead vocals), Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (Guitar), and Magne Furuholmen (Keyboards).

Ed Sheeran: "I wasn't alive when it came out"... that really says it all, thank you Ed. Your contribution to this video has been monumental.
As far as I'm concerned, this IS the best music video ever!
Morten and Bunty seeing each other again made me smile! I can't tell you how much this 2nd part makes me so happy! It's being a teenager once again. I love this! This series just keeps on getting better! The video truly is revolutionary and iconic! Thank you, a-ha and everybody who was involved in the creation of this video! 💛🇵🇭
Such a shame that no one puts this much time, effort, and love into their videos anymore. This was so beautifully made, it’s really an excellent short film! Kudos to all of the creative people that made this happen. 30+ years later, it’s still my favorite video!
yeah, we really didn't need Ed Sheeran's endorsement
The reunion between Morten and Bunty is so cute 😍
Anyone else cry when Bunty held her outfit in her hands. Then sit next to Morten. Time and Nostalgia is such a powerful thing. 😊
don´t do a remake, don´t sample it, don´t copy it...this is a masterpiece and it is to be left alone as it is for the sake of Mankind
Correct me if im wrong. That kind of animation is so advanced at that era.
I remember seeing this when it came out and saying "This is what a video should be." It has been my favorite video since and should be yours too.
I think that video even for today standards stands as very impressive piece of art.
I was 15 when this came out and was BLOWN AWAY by this song and video. It is still one of my favorite songs and I'm now 52. Great job by everyone.
Being raised in the 80s was actually as magical as it seems. There were so many new things happening constantly, from music to fashion to technology, it made life exciting. You could feel the hope in the world during that time. With social media being nonexistent at the time, we relied on magazines and television to see and listen to the music we loved. When MTV released their first video, it was glorious! I would come home from school everyday and sit in the living room floor doing homework and watching music videos. I’d give anything to be able to experience that type of awe again.
The video and song still hold up today. A credit to the great hand drawn animation. 10000 hand drawn frames is impressive. Each one is a work of art.
Isn’t it obvious that it should be expanded into a film? I can see it resonating across generations of people!
All-time favourite video. The cafe reunion was priceless!
You don't need to lengthen a video to 10 or 15 minutes to tell a (god or bad) story, but not everyone has the talent to tell a good story in such a short time. This music video is pure art.
Take on me is one of the ”founding fathers” of modern music video art, definitely. So innovative, creative and well ahead of its time. Been 35 years since its release and it doesn’t look outdated at all.
Wonderful to see Bunty Bailey again, well and happy after all these years. The video was perfect on so many levels, including the part played by Bunty. For millions of men, it was love at first sight.
