Same! Both versions are fantastic in their own way. A-Ha’s version unfortunately didn’t get to the top of the charts, but this one got to number 1. And that’s the UK charts back in the day
i am a Big critic of song remakes but I have to say this is just Awesome this was just Beautifully done not a thing was changed except fresh new voices from a very Talented group of very Handsome guys with very gifted voices Thank you for a job very well done I look at this as a Tribute.
I remember hearing this for the first time walking into a club in 2000 and wondered what it was. I was so taken with the music, etc that I had to buy it and did so. It's the melody, the accompaniment, the way the guys sing it: excitedly, clearly and with a sense of involvement. I was intrigued as to how the lead singer, whoever that is, was able to hit that top note! Gaius
I don't know why but at least once a year I would watch this video because it just makes me so happy. I'm not particularly an A1 fan but I just really like this cover so much, and I just love this MV a lot. Maybe I have bad taste? I dunno... but this whole thing is just so comforting. It brings me back to the good old days of the early 2000s. I wish they'd remake this video but with the same concept. I love all those little things kids these days would probably not even be aware of like the netscape browser lol.
Im born 1992 and i only knew the original version from A-Ha. I hesr this version the first time and now i know why. Some master pieces should stay untouched.
I just realized from the beginning of video, it tells us about what happened in the future, VR - astral projection, AI implementation, taiwan virus spread in japan etc..
ahhh the early 2000's....when everything tried way too hard to be all futuristic and as edgy as "The Matrix" even thought the technology wasnt even that advanced back then...
Not a popular opinion, but I prefer this over the original... 😊❤ This version came out when I was at the peak of my youth...when I can still dance the night away energetically. 🎶💃🏻🎵
I'm not gonna lie ....I was looking for the original ....I'm a dj .....a1 were always shit....I saw them at this under 18 rave...pilled out my tits .....and they got spat on by everyone in the crowd....again I can't lie....it was funny as fuck
All these years I have been looking for this song!!!! I didn't remember the name of the artist and the title... Just looking for a song that has "space effect" or like flying in the space, lol. I was twelve when I keep listening to this song from my old mp3 player and didn't understand English and then the disc broke. But here I am now! I'm dancing happily while singing along!!! 😂😁
Well, that's just because of the competition at the time. A-ha's was number 2 for 3 weeks, and has sold more overall. A-ha's was beat out by Jennifer Rush's "The Power of Love", which was the highest selling single that year. A1 didn't have that level of competition. That being said I do like A1's cover.
Reason why i became Software Engineer is because of this lovely song and video showing futuristic approach😊. This song is really special for me. I worked in Microsoft too but didn't found this tech yet possible. Hope we will see this in coming future.
Well true it was first done by aha from the 80s where one day a lady bored of the waitress drinking a coffee in the cafe it’s reading a comic book based on a hero who wins a bike race against his Opponents. But as she turns the page the character comes to life and takes her into the comic to check out the band playing in the mirror. Little does she know the waitress angered by it screws up the comic and throws it away bringing up the two rivals who chase them down. When she escapes she realises no my hero and runs home she then sees her hero knocked down and he comes into the house blocked by mirrors at first but then he becomes a real person and a happy ending.
Oh my god, the song I've found a long time... about 8-9 years. I often listened to this song when I was a child but I can not remember its name due to my bad English. Thanks God so much. My favorite song.
A1 Talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love, OK Take on me (Take on me) Take me on (Take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two So needless to say Odds and ends But I'll be stumbling away Slowly learning that life is OK Say after me Almost better to be safe than sorry Take on me (Take on me) Take me on (Take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two Oh, things that you say Is it live or Just to play my worries away You're all the things I've got to remember You're shying away I'll be coming for you anyway Take on me (Take on me) Take me on (Take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two Take on me
You know that this is an A-ha Song? And one of the most known song's of all time? The original version of A-ha (with the best music video of all times) has more then 1 billion views. A-ha is one of the best Bands existing in the music scene. So please 🙏 don't write "A1" above the Lyrics. By the way I really like the A1 cover of Take On Me.
I was absolutely mind blown by this video when it came out and thought it was proper space age 😂😂😂 knew it was a cover song but it made me appreciate this as well as the original

Guys, please shut up about the quality and stuff. Back in the day it was FUTURISTIC, we all liked it and it was for its time.
CD and VCD player...A1, Westlife,mltr, backstreet boys, Boyzone...what a beautiful days it was...
A fellow Indonesian? (You know, VCD...)
Me too.
I love both the original and this one!
Same! Both versions are fantastic in their own way. A-Ha’s version unfortunately didn’t get to the top of the charts, but this one got to number 1. And that’s the UK charts back in the day
@@Matsuna13 'And that’s the UK charts back in the day'
Agreed! Back when MTV was MTV and not what it's been for the last years!
I love both, but prefer this one. 😊
I found this so cool and futuristic when I was younger... looking back, oh dear haha!
In 15 years you'll probably look back at this day, and you'll say the same.
Lmao. I am laughing so hard cause of this comment
Jade W me too
Exactly haha!
Lmao
The 2000s a era where technology was good but crappy at the same time and this obscure music video is one example
OMG I FOUND IT!!! This was my favorite music video back then 😭 we had their CD and I played it often as a kid.
Wow nostalgic ❤

Its from 2000, boybands never died out, they didn't suddenly return in the 2010s.
Watching and hearing these will cause of losing depressions and taking me away from the Corona virus
Nunca superará a versão original do A-HA com a voz do Morten!!!! Essa versão do A1 parece que foi feita para criança.
That's right 👍🏻 no one can beat the original ❤
it was not bad in 2000-2001 watching it as a kid
I like original and this 1 too

I love this A1 band.. Since when I was in high school.. I love this songs😘🥰 A1 band 1990's Idols..god blessed😘🥰💕
This is the only band besides Westlife that I think all the members were almost equally good-looking. 😊 I wonder where they're all now.
Where can I buy this Anti-Virus? Does it comes with user's installation guide?
Corona
Love this version. Heard it 1st in 2000 being blasted out in night club. Blown away with overall sound beat high note fancy bits. everything
As a 90's, ive been make belived that this is one of their original songs.... dance member.
The mere existence of this version makes me cry.
RioMadeira The mere existence of this version makes Harambe squirm in heaven.
I think i prefer Weezer's cover
Same
I remember I was 5 years old I think and we used to play their songs every morning in the living room. Best times, 90's music!!
This has to be the most early 2000s thing I've ever seen in my entire life, at i love it.😁
Except that the song off course, that is from 1984.

Still always the best cover of any song imo. Just a fooking beauty
One of the best songs from my childhood.
For late 90's/early 2000's pop this is quite respectful of the original and really ain't that bad at all.
This music video is a work of art. No one else can tell me otherwise.
Take on me by a-ha is still the best! :)

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER MADE
Please explain?
Original is way better
I prefer the original… vidio alots better than this one
This cover is an insult to A-ha’s original
i can't say a bad word against this version as it introduced me to the amazing Aha. also reminds me of my old school disco days
Im 90s and tomorrow are my bday still listening to this masterpiece of my favorite boyband😘😘😘
Heard this live back in November and I loved it the boys were brilliant and their dance routines especially for this song were fantastic 🎹🎸

Original by A-HA
@@nathancox6249 I love this version better though
This got to the top of the UK charts and a-ha’s version didn’t.
Now, there’s something not quite right about that...
Ya
Actually A-Ha's version got to number 2 in the UK and this got to number 1 in the UK. So both versions actually did pretty good
Topped the charts when i was born
Well, that's just because of the competition at the time. A-ha's was number 2 for 3 weeks, and has sold more overall. A-ha's was beat out by Jennifer Rush's "The Power of Love", which was the highest selling single that year. A1 didn't have that level of competition. That being said I do like A1's cover.
@@Simbreon also the feeling of nostalgia to which helped the one get to number 1
I really really LOVE this SONG🎶💗
Ben Adam's voice😍
Congratulations boys!! IT WAS A GREATPERFORMENS!!❤❤❤❤HUNGARY 🇭🇺
Lol the funny thing is that I actually grew up with this song without the original, I personally find both alright
Goosebumps when I still hear and watch this...some of the best parts of my childhood right here!!!!
Reason why i became Software Engineer is because of this lovely song and video showing futuristic approach😊. This song is really special for me. I worked in Microsoft too but didn't found this tech yet possible. Hope we will see this in coming future.
Finally I found this video again. I remember playing this many times when I was a child.
Oh 90's, how I miss the cheesiness.
This was early 2000s
Yeah we need some cheesiness back, at least it was a decade remembered for. not sure where we're at currently
lee dicknson Ah...well, shit.
Recorded in 1999
The blatant Matrix rip-off at 2:10 instantly told me it was 1999+ :P

I had no idea any of this was possible with a Sony Vaio. My modern machine sure does suck in comparison. Ebay, don't fail me now.
Is that an advertisment for Sony products?
Yes because the band was managed by *Sony* records
ladymay30 And Pioneer and Panasonic and IBM.

Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
Odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
Almost better to be safe than sorry
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh, things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Take on me
Thanks Lord 7th!

I thought the actor was int he video or something. Weird comment to make imo.
Still listening to this in 2024. Hope A1 will do a come-back.
Me living in 90s really loved this song. Even hearing the 80s version I still can say I loved this more. Its a matter of taste and generation I guess.
