![THIS IS ART! | FIRST Reaction to a-ha - Take On Me (Official Video) [Remastered in 4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pXwnXAhPgFs/mqdefault.jpg)
The 80's were straight MAGIC. I wish you could have lived it.
I lived it. And yes they were.
@@tl1110 I lived it. Yes, they were - except politic and economic situation. But I still love 80´s music.
I was a teenager when Take on Me came out... I was born in 1973
It was the best!~
The singer is about 60 year's old and still looks like a model and can still hit that high note
Did you see him on the masked singer?? He was excellent on that. He did this song and not one of the judges recognised him!
This mixed animation video was cutting-edge when it was released. Had a lot to do with its popularity.
And thanks to MTV that made a-ha redo their original music video. The original was bad.
A-ha was out early with the special 80's vibe, which we know so well today. People needed something to hang the music on to learn to like it, and the record company understood that. If you think they would have spent so much money producing this video if the song had not had solid hit potential, then you do not know how much work it was to make this video. The song has been played 3 million times in radio in the US since its release, and that was some years ago. It is at least 250 times a day without the video for 35 years!. Do not misunderstand - the video is great, but you can not separate the one from another. It is a whole package, and it is a great package, timeless - a true classic.
These guys have been popular outside of North America nonstop since 1985, and they have an absolutely amazing discography which you should explore.
I totally agree!
“Sounds like the 80’s and I’m not even from the 80’s!” LOL
I am from the 80’s, best decade to grow up in! Glad you enjoyed this song, one of my favs!
It actually was constantly played on the radio the summer of 1985. I remember it well because I graduated high school June 1985 and remember how much played. Every single day several times a day.
Graduated in '85 also. Had to see the video on "Friday Night Videos" since we didn't have cable and MTV. I managed to get it on VHS tape off air. Watched that video a lot.
@@tonyhogg9839 I didn't have cable either so I had to go to friends houses to watch MTV.
Then we see that the song took its time to climb the charts until it reached the top in October of 85.
I am so thankful I was born in 1974... I grew up listening to the best music of the 60's, 70's & 80's!! Music was so much more fun in the 80's that's for sure!
Definitely a classic. Can't hear it without singing!
The guy just won a motorcycle race and now he's singing to the blond girl, what a BOSS. 😎
A-ha were quite big in the UK and Europe, but this unique and groundbreaking video was their only hit in the US.
Singer Morten has great vocal range, he was a great hit with girls too.
The effects in this music video were revolutionary for the time. Like when he switches between his real self to drawn self, nothing like it was ever done before.
Y la tecnología de antes era diferente, tenías que dibujar cada movimiento y luego firmarlo, lo digo porque estudié dibujo animado, soy recontra fan de este video, de esta canción y de A-ha!!, me dió risa cuando la chica apareció en el tacho de basura,jajajaja.
I read that it took four months for the illustrator Mike Patterson doing hand-drawn drawings.
Mike Patterson came up with more than 3,000 sketches for the final clip.
The video is amazing! Classic!
checkout the sun always shines on tv, their follow up song to take on me
'The Living Daylights" (theme of the James Bond movie), ' Hunting High and Low', 'Stay on these Roads', 'I've been loosing You', 'Summer Moved On'...they have many awesome songs!
When this video was made, it was incredibly advanced. This was a time without a mobile phone, etc. In the weather, it was MTV we saw and heard new music .. 😀
The famous synth rift was written by the keyboard player when he was only 15
Morton Harkets Voice is live as Good as in a Audio Version. Another fantastic song to hear him is the sun always shines on TV.
I was born in ‘91, this is one of my favorite 80s hits!!
This song and especially the video blew us away in the 80's. SO unique for its time. I couldn't wait for it to come on the tv on MTV!!!!
This song was in constant rotation on MTV in the mid-80's. The artistic visuals, WAY ahead of its time!
The mix of cartoon and reality had never been done before this. There's a 3 part documentary on TH-cam about the trials and tribulations of what it took to get the most out of this song.
Brilliant video and his voice sounds even better today.
I was on vacation in Belgium when I first heard this on the rental car radio. They played it every 5 minutes. No lie. Great song. Great sound. Great video. A few years back, the lead singer did a slow, acoustic version of this. Worth watching.
The whole group a-ha made it for their 'Summer Solstice MTV unplugged concert (tour)'
In 1985, the pinnacle of technology was the Apple IIe personal computer. I don't know what it took to create the cartoon sequences, but I'm guessing it wasn't simple or easy. I was 20 when this came out and I was blown away by it.
Synth pop is made with a synthesizer.
The lyrics are about the woman has to take a Chance on him, because he won't stay around waiting forever. I got this description from a VERY reliable source!!!
Fantastic song and one of the best videos ever created. Greets from germany.
You're going to love this
Your reaction is how all us 80's,kids reacted too back in the day
Essentially it means love conquers all, he willed himself into reality because of love.
The quintessential 80s Pop Music Video. It deserves it's Billion views.
That is considered one of the greatest videos of all time!
Love the 80s ❤ great song and really cool video
So far 1.6 BILLION (yes, 1,000 million) views and counting.
A-ha the best ever 👍🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this since the first time it premiered on MTV!
TLDR: Girl meets boy. They struggle over adversity, are separated, and reunite. The story concludes in another video (do not watch it). Oh, and the animation and those racing costumes reminded me of racing from the 1930's and 40's so I saw it as retro in the 80's.
Motorcycle racing montage: preparing for the race. Fueling up, putting on racing gear, sizing up competition, lining up at start line, the race. Cuts to young woman reading a comic showing the race in a cafe and is served a beverage and given a check. She views A-ha winning in the comic and celebrating. Aha is pictured in panels looking at the woman, she looks at him intensely and he winks in real time. She is surprised and he reaches out of the comic inviting her in. Girl reading a comic Boy invites girl into his world. He shows her around and sings, she dances, That world goes upside down, motorcycle rivals become villains, when the comic is crumpled up (The waitress believes the woman (nowhere to be seen in the cafe) did not pay her tab and crumples the comic the young girl is in and throws it away). Boy fights off villains and he and girl run away. Boy opens a way out for girl to escape. She re-enters her world by by the trashed comic and flees the shop with it. She opens the comic to see what happens to him. She sees what happens after she left. She sees him pushing her into the escape, they armed men advancing, a plumbing wretch fall. She sees him prone on the ground and wonders about him. He comes to, fights to escape his world and is reunited with her.
Your surprise and happiness were wonderful to watch.
Best video of the 80s
Alllll of a-ha is life 💕 the song is one of group pleading with his lady to be his one - he was leaving and wanted her to commit - they are still together x
The sun always shines on tv en hunting high and low.
This song just gives me the brain tinglies
The keyboard they were playing may be referred to as a synthesizer. Very 80s. :)
YES! Listen to Hunting High and Low!
Hard to believe you haven’t heard this, maybe in passing. It’s pretty recognizable. Love the channel
This video is 37 years old, almost as old as me, and it's still great even by modern standards.
One of the best songs ever made 😃
This video came out when MTV was good! I was in high school when they released this classic!
Great song, great era 💗🔥💗
The voz espetacular
"The Magicians" cover on this song turns the meaning into a 180 degree trip. They sing it after Quentin's death in the series and just gives it a nice mellower touch.
You Should Check out East of the Sun West of the Moon by A-ha Specifically the NRK Studio Live Version its a Hidden Masterpiece.
You don't have to have been born in the 80s to know this song. Kind of shocked it's new to you. 🤔
He is STILL FREAKIN HOT today still !!!!
Glad you chose this video to react to…that said, I think if you multi-tasked, doing your performance while actually watching the video performance, you would have garnered much more from the music video.
I winced every time he closed his eyes and missed something...
thanks for listening to aha very underrated band from norway. been a fan since 1 was 16 years old i’m 51 now and still love them. if you love this version you should listen to the slowed down mtv live version. take care❤️
Morten Harket is one of the best voices of the 80s if not the best. The Norwegian band A-ha is not a one-hit wonder. Other great songs is High and Low, Stay on thes roads, Foot of the mountain to name a few. I'm absolutely sure you will love each one of their songs. I was twenty-five years old when I first discovered this great band and it's very talented lead singer.
First single I ever bought (I was 6.5)! The catchy song and amazing video may have helped.
Whenever you get a chance please do a reaction to Pentatonix hallelujah and amazing grace also I know this and hallelujah and this song are Christmas songs but also please do Mary did you know by them promise you will get goosebumps and a blessing
To me this is the greatest song ever made
One of the most popular songs with the strangest lyrics I've ever heard was Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann. Give a listen and maybe you can explain it to me because, although I like the song, I could never make sense of it.
This video was innovative for it's time. This video was created around the lead singers good looks and of course his unique range.
Awesome man 👌🏼
This is an awesome song & video. I will always stop & listen to this one. You're probably going to love it.
niiiceee relax reaction bro
'Manhattan Skyline' is my absolute favourite.
i knew you love it: cause if you don't love that masterpiece of pop- and musicvideo-history ... sorry you have no clue and heart ;-)
Love your shirt!
It's a love song
To bad that you didn't really pay attention to the video.
This time it was relevant. This was a massive video when it aired on MTV. All of it was drawn. You have to look up the details but this was a revolutionary creation & it doesn't age.
He fought to get out of the book and be with her & he even left the band behind! LOL..
❤❤❤
My #1 80's Favourite!!!! You need to review "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds.
You listen to this gem from the 80s and you can see where The Weekend gets some of his latest inspiration ;)
You're so fun! 😜
Watch the story of the video and FIGHT the urge to get lost in the music.
It's not easy lol
Unfortunately you missed a lot of it, listening to the great song!! You need to WATCH it too!!
Reacted to Nena german band ( 99 redballons or 99 Leftballon ), Men at works songs down under, dr hecky & mr jave. One of them had pass away by heart problem, just why group disbad. The one who had gone, in down under song he also play with flute..
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The first time I heard this song was on Family Guy! I've been in love with it ever since.
Aside from the awesome song, I love the _story_ that the video itself is telling; I genuinely feel like the idea/premise could easily be adapted to an actual movie! ❤️❤️
It’s almost the same beat, tempo as blinding lights by The Weeknd
Did you forget about A-ha? I love your reaction, and it is a pity if you lose the rest of their music. You should definitely check out more of it, at least to educate yourself on one of the greatest bands of all time. A good place to continue is with "The sun always shines on TV", "Train of thought", "Hunting high and low", "I've been losing you"...you will not regret doing so. All these songs are from the early years - their music from the later years are not less impressive.
You don't know what to call it, that's the synthesizer
Check out "The Masked Singer UK Viking"
Devin. I love this song!
There is also a recent acoustic version of this performed by the same group. You can hear him live. It’s amazing, but less fun since it’s slower.
Take on Me....take on the challenge of me and us
aha have tons of albums and music to check out over 10 albums
try to watch the video the next time
Love the version in Deadpool 2 better😌
Devon - You're the best reactor out there.
I love that you listen through before giving your feedback.
So many other reactors really miss the flows, lows and powerful crescendos of many, many of the older music, due to their constant, ridiculous and annoying pauses.
She getting some comic man tonight.
Billy idol has a new video out called bitter taste could you react to this thanks
You missed half of the video! You didn't even get the story. (smh)
Wow. Must be the most irritating reaction I have ever seen. Did it not occur to you to look at a video that has attracted a billion views.
