hello and thankyou for reacting to the best band that ever existed. In 1985 3 young norwegians started a band an released take on me asking the world to give them a chance. I was 16 at the time and instantly fell for them and their music. Moving on 37 years later i’m still a huge A-HA fan. I’m 54 now. A-HA have and continue to produce the soundtrack to my life. They’re still around and have released 11 albums. A-HA are a very criminally underrated and unappreciated band especially nowadays back in the 80’s A-HA were loved all over the world except the USA. They are considered a one hit wonder there. I hope you’ll react to more A-HA as their music is unique it’s always changing and evolving. Thanks again and Take care 😘 ❤️🇳🇴❤️A-HA FOREVER❤️🇳🇴❤️
This is from 1985. This is technically the 3rd version of the song. The released two versions in Europe. A US producer heard them and signed them. They released the Huntin Hi and Lo album which won best new artist. ONLY one person animated the whole video. It was WAY ahead of it's time.
Volkswagon did an AWESOME parody of this video years back: th-cam.com/video/acv1_WddLdI/w-d-xo.html
Try out The Sun Always Shines On TV if you want to see and hear more from a-ha.
This is, and always will be, the greatest music video ever made. Ahead of its time in a technical sense, but outstanding story telling with a killer song as well. The winner, and still champ!
ah welcome to one of the best bands ever, a band with so many styles of music. And arguably one of the best vocalist of all time. Still going to this day. Released a new album last November. , continue their journey with the next 3 singles from this their debut album, the sun always shines on tv, train of thought, and the title track hunting high and low.
I second that proposal !!! Great song to get started on.
I second that too! 😉😁🎶
Having lived as a teen in the '70s and the '80s real time here in Europe i recall Abba and The Bee Gees as well as Duran Duran and A-ha being the most popular mainstream bands of these 2 decades respectively.Do enjoy.
The kind of music millions of us grew up bro.Thrilling teenage years. You are now listening to an absolute classic.
Probably the best music video ever made.
Watch the sun always shines on tv
This video was simply MASSIVE at once.Some of us did cry in the end of the story btw,lol.
There's no other video from that era quite like this one. The comic art was all done by hand.
Its called rotoscope. Took animators months to draw every frame. Morton Harket is the lead singer and has a 5 scale octave range. Watch the second part The Sun always shines on TV. It finishes the story of the girl and her unreal guy.
This video is the most expensive video ever and was a gamble for Warner. Sowing the seeds of love ( tears for fears ) rivalled in expense. The architecture is rotoscoping. 2 guys in 1 room put this masterpiece together. Walt disney invented rotoscope with tom and gerry circa 1930.
One of the greatest music videos of all time. Golden age of Mtv.
Maybe a handful of songs define the 80's and this is definitely one of them
This was a big hit, in heavy rotation both on the radio and on MTV. We couldn't get enough of it😂
It's one of the greatest videos of the '80s. A similarly good and creative music video from the same era is "Don't Answer Me," by the Alan Parsons Project.
The 70's till 90's had some of the best music of all time.
So many great bands/singers during those years.
Sadly the quality of music these days is a joke compared to then.
How many songs from past 2015 are in the top 1000 of all time. (very few because they are not good enough for that list)
It's bittersweet to have lived in the 80's because we knew without any doubt that we were living in the best possible times, and that they also couldn't last. Believe me when I say that if a time portal opened to the 80's, then I would step through immediately and never look back.
It came out in 1985. The animated scenes of the video were first shot as live action scenes and then they were animated using an animation technique called rotoscoping. It took 4 months to complete all the drawings before the video was released on MTV. In my opinion, the best music video of all times. 🙂
The 80’s was a decade in which technology was pushed to the limit.
A decade of awesomeness that will never be repeated.
It will stand the test of time.
From a gen Xer…..😢
Everything was better in the 70s and 80s. Especially the music
Amazing reaction to one of the most iconic music videos ever. A-ha is a Norwegian band consisting of three men. They traveled to England in the early 80's hoping for an international career, and after a bit of luck and a lot of stubbornness managed to do so. Fantastic band still making music. I see that you have received several suggestions for further reactions, and support them. I would also suggest Manhattan Skyline and Sycamore leaves.
It's cool to see that videos that I loved when they originally came out can make young people today react with the same excitement and enthusiasm. I enjoyed watching you discover this video.
Glad you enjoyed!
An other great video and beautiful song you have to see and listen is " hunding high and low" . Trust me.. Vangelis from Greece.
November 2005 i was in Athens with my mates and watched them live.('Analogue" tour)When they played this one('Hunting high and Low")We couldn't help it.We all got wet eyed.As long as Morten was singing this everybody in the stadium were dead silent.His delivery was so breathtaking.So sensitive it was piercing right through the heart.All got stuned.!When the interlude of the song followed somewhere in the middle,we all exploded in cheering,screaming,applauding.
True music never dies, on the contrary👌🏻🎶a-ha best band ever
This blew everyone away in the 80's. There was nothing like this video, a few years prior Michael Jackson came out with his Thriller video which was top of the line in prosthetics but this video with the comic, totally 1 of a kind. A lot of reactors dont get that when the waitress crumples the comic book it lets the bad guys out that he beats in a race in the beginning of the video.
WOW !
I didn't see anyone comment on this; but this video's ending was based on a movie called Altered States, which starred William Hurt. It was about a man who used a sensory deprivation tanks with powerful hallucinogenic to reach another states of consciousness. But the experience would alter his body as well; so in the end scene, he was changing forms, and started slamming himself against the walls in the hall to transform back. The band members liked this film, and uses that scene for their music video.
Good to know
teenagers today just need to watch the 80s musicvideos;) amazing for alot of u youngsters
They also need to speak a little slower.
The take on me video was made using a technique called Rotescopy where individually hand drawn frames a made then live action shots are used too. The video took 6 months to make and has over 10,000 hand drawings in it. Thanks for your enthusiasm and sweet words about A-HA. Take Care. just subbed to you because you reacted to A-HA 😘
This music video is like a mini movie in itself. A lot of a-ha videos are really creative. More please.
Oh and that Keyboard riff ? That was written by the keyboard player (Mags) when he was 14 years old.... amazing.
Great job kid! I've seen no less than 10 people react to this video and not only are most unimpressed, but they don't get the video! I've watched a few other of your reactions and they're great. You've got an old soul. Keep up the good work...👍👍👍👍👍
A-ha's music and videos are all awesome!. And there is a part 2 to this video "The Sun Always Shines on TV".
A iconic video of its day ,
Best music video of the 80's
Thank you !!
Welcome to a-ha' s music world ! They are a great band and Take on me was only the beginning , it is famous for the video , the Music and the Voice of Morten Harket 💎🎶
There is also a version unplugged for Mtv (Summer solstice-2017): sweet version 💚🤍❤️
P.s.: "Nothing to it" is the song that inspired the name of their band, simple ,universal and unique 😊
Still one of the best videos ever.
This video was one of a kind when it was first released.
They weren't making video's like this in 1985. They made this video in 1985.
WOW !
Loved your reaction!!! This came out in the 80s and it was the most amazing video ever!!!! It still remains the best video ever! 1985!!!
Check out the slow, live, unplugged version. It's a completely different beast.
This guy is so sweet 😊 . It's nice to see the youngin's appreciating some of the old music. Good on him for checking some of the older stuff out there.
The 80's Rule!
1985 Norwegian band brilliant song snd video. Most teenage girls fancied Morten Harket lead singer.
Listen to a-ha Minor earth mojor sky and this alone is love
A-ha was first released in 1984 and the video in 1985.
I was 7 when this came out, everyone at school was talking about this video.
a - ha is a very good band. They have iconic songs o 80's, 90's and 2000. If you want to watch a good looking video: VELVET (and it's a little funny in a dark way). THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS, it's very good, too.
Awww! That was the sweetest reaction EVER!!! I was probably about your age when this came out and reacted much the same way! ❤
This is a really great song - I loved it from the radio before I ever saw the video, which took it to another level. Classic!
I saw them do it on Top of the Pops on Thursday and went out on Saturday to buy the 7" single. This is before I knew of any video 😎
music from the 80s, in this case from Norway. The years when music from all over the world was danced
when music videos were awesome in the 1980s
quality never gets old! forever a fan! ❤
This was one of the advanced videos of that time! I love this song! I was in my 30's when this came out. Glad you liked it!
Thank you!!! This is an iconic video! And a-ha have made fantastic music! 😊🎵❤🇳🇴
THE greatest video of all time! October, 1984 release.
Best video of the 80’s
Hi I'm a new subscriber and just found your reaction to "Take on Me". This is one of my favorite songs from the 80's. The song came out in 1984, but the music video is from 1985. The guy in the video is a-ha's lead singer Morten Harket and the girl is actress Bunty Bailey. The music video won six awards at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards, 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. It's definitely one of the best music videos of the 80's. You should also check out "The Sun Always Shines on Tv" . The music video for this song takes up where the music video for "Take on Me" left off.
10 year old me loved this song when it first came out in 1985 the video was ahead of it's time and 38 years later 48 year old me still loves this song and video.
oh yes...we still love this song -
Instant smiles 💕
I think I was in first grade when this video came out. Mt Rushmore video and song.
Love this song. I'm an old long-haired rocker from the 70's, but this song always gets me 'going'. This and 'Walk Like An Egyptian' i never turn down, haha
A lower quality rendition of the song was recorded & was originally released in 1982-83 along with an even lower quality video & the song failed to gain traction until the song was reworked until they got it to its present form. They went back to the drawing board on the video. As you can imagine, the tech did not exist to make a video like this at that time. Nothing like this had ever been done before . The animated scenes alone took 16 weeks to complete as they were first filmed then subsequently copied frame by frame... by hand!!! It was all worth it as this video took the world by storm. I can attest to it as I was 18 when the song and video was re-released in 1985. We were all blown away because we'd never seen anything like this before & I honestly don't think we have since. A-ha had 5 hits during their run with only 2 charting in the US. They continue to tour & this song has been featured in everything from Grey's Anatomy to Deadpool. You might also want to check out The Sun Always Shines on TV and Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love. Keep up the good work!!❤
Así es, de los '80. Los 4000 dibujos fueron pintados a mano y tardaron 6 meses en hacerlo. Una banda y voz increíbles.
You must see the documentery of making this video!
This is one of the first videos I saw on MTV way back in the day. I never ever forgot it that’s how long I’ve loved this song & video.
This was one of the first videos that incorporated live action and animation. It was a big deal in its day.
🫶🏼
Thank you for your lovely reaction. No wonder it has so many views.
One of the most popular songs of the 80s. By the way, the singing is completely raw. The video is on *every* top 5 music video list that exists.
You should compare the MTV Unplugged version from 2017. Same tune, lyrics, singer. Completely different feel.
Maybe the best reinterpretation of an upbeat original ever done.
🫶🏼
The girl in this is beautiful. She was born in 1964, so she was about 20 when this was made.
Her name was Bunty Bailey, she had a brief fling with Morten after this video was made - can't say I blame her! 😁
Rotoscoping was in the 20s fella. Back in the day it was all hand drawn. Every split second of movement to create a cartoon. Computers do it now. And much faster.
A great video, song and voice. He finally broke free. Love works in mysterious ways.
I ❤ this song when I was young and it’s still a good song today ‼️ 60-70-80 ties were the best for music ☝️
Lovely reaction, mate. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed
If you explore the eighties you will find some of the best music and videos ever made. Successful singers and groups had massive budgets for videos to be made for their single releases as these would help to promote and sell their singles. If you'd like to review another iconic 80's band and video check out Rio by Duran Duran. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Keep up the great work.
It came out in 1986.
great ! defo one of the best music videos ever. always will be. cheers ;)
This is an awesome video.
Love this reaction! Authentic. Keep up the great work!
This was a groundbreaking video style in the 80s. The music is catchy, but you really need to go back several decades to hear true modern rock. So many bands that paved the way for us. Progressive rock bands, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Jethro Tull, Alan Parsons Project etc. That's where your head would be happiest!!!
I was 18 when this got big and risked getting into SERIOUS trouble with my parents ignoring my chores to wait for this to come on TV. Going into college that year we could all agree on this album (no iPods then, it was cassettes and vinyl and you mostly had to share what you were listening to).
I was 18 too when this came out and I had my yellow sports walkman and still have it today! I miss the 80's and the irony of using the internet to go back to better times before there was any internet.
Obligatory songs by a-ha to react to: The Sun Always Shines on TV, Manhatten Skyline, Scoundrel Days
Very good suggestions!!!
😉😁🎶
@@sylvieouellet212 I second that too ! 😉
@@UnhandyCandy280 😁😆
And "I've been loosing you." I also recommend "Move to Memphis" and "Crying in the rain" (Everly brothers cover).
@@Abbadonhades Good choices !!!
I love your reaction, so genuine... In 80ies and 90ies it was the time of the music videos in my opinion, I think Michael Jackson started it, but I am not sure.
1986!!!! 🌟✌️
🔥🔥🔥
I was 15 when this video first aired on MTV. It was really cool then and still is in 2023.
A-HA has made a ton of bangers over the years. Check out :The Sun always Shines on TV, Summer Moved On, Crying in the Rain, Stay on These Roads. So many to mention here:)
Great video ,geat voice,great reaction
Rotoscope for the win.
Hi Chase! The year was 1982 but it apparently took a few goes to become a hit in 85. I believe it turned into a One Hit Wonder, maybe one of the best of that category. And yes you pronounced the name correctly Ah Hah. I’m glad you enjoyed it, it’s a masterpiece on multiple levels. There was a BLOCKED message on the video portion was that there or done to you by the software? Sigh.
Not a one hit wonder ✨
@@Theknightsofpop82 well, then you live in Europe? In the US they are.
@@jbs256 tsasot was a top 20, top 20 singles are still considered as hits
@@Theknightsofpop82 well then, don’t tell me. Tell the Google machine. And every top 1HW survey of the 80’s. I’m with you but…
@@jbs256 most of those lists are based off popularity not charts. And some are by journalists that weren’t even born when they came out
Welcome to the 80s.
Man, this makes me really miss old school MTV.
You need to do the sun always shines on TV next it's kind of a sequel.
The lead singer Morton harkett was gorgeous.still is.he did the masked singer in the UK.
It was recorded in 1984 and it was popular in 1985.
Hi can you react to the same song but "MTV UNPLUGGED" version please? The band make this song acoustic version slower but Morten Harket (the lead singer) give us a amazing performance with his voice like I'm not just saying his voice are fantastic after all these years!!
Weird that this reactor looks like Morten Harket.
The Sun Always Shines on TV is another very good song from this group, though I do not like the video ending to the story from Take On Me.
For an instant radio song 308k sales worldwide is nonsense. Stick a masterpiece video in. Went to the moon.
You should react to their live version of Summer Moved On: th-cam.com/video/HgNkEd0_Znc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wKgbADmvxJP4B4EZ ...longest note in history....
React to Aaliyah - One in a million..and more of her 😊 ❤
16 months to draw.
