      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».

    It's crazy to see so much creativity in one song video at that time. Marvelous.

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.

    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.

    • @snorpenbass4196
      @snorpenbass4196 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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.

    • @ahkkariq7406
      @ahkkariq7406 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    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"

    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🙂

    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! ❤️

    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. 😁

    If I remember correctly, this video won all sorts of awards at the time. It was a ground breaking video.

    Your last reaction (Heart) you said "This is so 70's". That is true, but this song just screams 80's!

    4:42 Asia gave BJ the look. It's the same look my mom gave my dad, when he referred to her as his "ball and chain".

    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.

    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.
