he didn't - he mocked it up (while being heavily out of tune in several places), just listen to original version the notes are way higher. Though its just a gig for fun and not some song contest:)
This guy is remarkable. He said once: "I whish everone to get rich and famous. So that they can feel THAT it's not something that makes you glad." Good painter, too.
I remember him saying something like "your job isnt terrible you just hink it is" well Jim you havent had a real job in 35 years what would you know. I do love him and think he's talented but spare me on the knowledge life quotes about something he never has to go through.
@@joebasketballhighlights he wasn’t rich all his life. I think he can speak on how money isn’t necessarily going to make you happy. Yes, it makes things like paying bills easier and you can buy more material stuff but unless you’ve been both poor or middle class and rich, you don’t have the ability to comment on if one’s happiness increases when one’s wealth increases. There are depressed rich people out there and happy people who have much less.
@@Mouse.3 he cant he's been rich for a really long time. I guess I'll agree to disagree but a person with no money will tell that money wont solve everything but their family will be taken care of and that would make them happy. This man cant speak on that his family doesnt go wanting life may throw lemons sometimes but overall their quality of life is better than someone with out money. iI is always rich people saying money doesnt matter.
He once said in an interview (because his daughter went on American Idol) that he could "carry a tune, but I don't have a voice people want to hear". It struck a chord with me then because I can absolutely carry a tune, not tone deaf, have rhythm, but my voice is not a good singing voice. I'd be a great backup singer lmao
@@beckycrider3689 As a lead-singer for a band, i have so much respect and appreciation for folks such as youself who know how to stay off the stages, and, the only possible exception to that, for example, if you had this kerokie night once a year, 2drink/1song maximum. Better yet, keep it to your bathroom (we don't wanna see u singing in your car, too, and, we are exceedinly-grateful you would NEVER sing with the windows open, MyChild). Just kidding. i can't even carry a tone, letta lone a tune.
"Take me on" and "Everybody wants to rule the world" Two of my favorites from the 80's. Also, two great songs that transcend time and seem to get better every time you hear them. Jim Carey nails this rendition. What an incredibly talented man.
When Jim Carey transcends this physical plane, the universe and mankind shall shed tears. He is a force of nature. You can feel and see him. (Avatar reference) ❤️
@burteriksson his performances always has massive visual clues as to when the audience were supposed to laugh, without them they wouldn't have the slightest clue it was even supposed to be a comedy or drama from his acting. If he couldn't pull a face he would be flipping burgers for a living.
Found this by accident looking for videos of Aha actually singing this song live and not lip syncing. Instead i find this, and i now love Jim Carey more than before. What a champ. Props to him too, i sing and can confirm this is an incredibly hard song to sing.
If I sang a single verse of a song, and turned around and saw B.J. Thomas applauding me ( 1:29 ), no matter how much of a goof I was making out of things I think I'd just take a bow and retire at that point. It could not get any better for me as a performer.
@@tiamat_023 I have seen him sing this about 5 times in the past 10 years and he never tries to hit that note, anymore. maybe he can but I’ve seen no recent evidence of it.
This is an old comment but just in case you didn't catch it, that guy standing in front of the guitarist is none other than BJ Thomas..."Raindrops keep falling on my head"....and...my fav "Hooked on a feeling". He just passed away like 3 months ago so I thought I'd mention it. And yes...Jim Carey is a nutball.
@@BurtTurbo because I dont overhype something just because a celebrity does it? I wouldn't necessarily call that being fun. Just realistic and reasonable. All I said was that those we're in fact not very high notes and everyone who knows a little about einging can easily see that it's Not that impressive. Doesnt make it more impressive just cuz Jim Carrey does it... If you wanna hear something impressive go listen to the unplugged version of Aha
@@mortuc1 I completely agree with all this. It's just an octave lower, but he nonetheless could be able to showcase that he has potential on doing scenes that may include some light singing. I don't think he'll be able to perform the song with its original pitch.
I'm surprised he's never done a musical comedy, or if he has, I'm not aware of it. His voice was a little strained on the lowest and highest notes, but in a recording studio with multiple takes, I think he could nail it.

+Larry Talbot Bit of a late reply as I only just found this, but I think Letterman was more pissed because he was splashed with liquid. If you look just before Carrey stands up he goes to drink the contents of the mug, but Letterman offers him a handshake, which stops him. So it was Davey boys own fault. But yeah, it was funnier because it didn't break first time.
I got it. It's a take-off on the old Memorex tape TV commercial from the 1970s that ended with the announcer saying, "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" and a cut-away to a shot of a female singer singing a really high note and breaking a glass in the process.

I love that I’m living in a period with Jim Carry in it. He’s just good 👍🏼 in so many ways. I like to be around him…even if he didn’t say a word (no, I don’t know him , just sense he’s one of those people that doesn’t require actual sound to sense the good presence of him). ❤
His version of « I am the walrus » (with George Martin, 1998 « In My Life ») is absolutely awesome !! Carrey is a great singer ! And not only on Napalm Death songs 😂
I thoroughly enjoyed how put off letterman was by Jim breaking the cup and getting coffee everywhere. Dave hands him the towels and gives him that disappointing dad glare 😂
0:35 Being a drummer, to have someone else cue you into the song..that's discipline and that's badass. And that's why I'm sitting at home watching these vids instead of participating.
I wonder if Dave knew that would happen. I'm kind of curious how they planned that (if at all). I thought the mug could have been a prop but it still had water in it and took some effort to break. Pretty wild for TV.
Do you know how many people all over the world sang that song for years and the result was all the neighborhood cats left town on the next bus? I give the guy credit, he hit all those big notes, and with a little vocal training he would’ve sounded awesome. Even Barbra Streisand trains for vocals before concerts and in between. That song is not easy to sing! I couldn’t even count how many registers there are in there.
I'm down with that, I hit all these points, I was about 9 when this song came out, waiting, ready, when I was needed... But any better singer was practicing what the song was. I'm not going to show my hurt. I will instead focused on the falsetto parts, scare that coffee cup out of people's hand. Yeah, bitch, I hit that high, Watch this!
@@THEAJFrost 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lucky you! I was one of the people that sent the cats out of town on the bus! What’s worse, I don’t even know what the words are to this day. I just sang what I heard, they weren’t even real words, so I must’ve sounded like someone’s drunk relative at a wedding!
I am swedish, first of all I apologize, I missed this magical moment, your performance was extremely good, you can be a star, in Europe we call these singers songbirds, you are one of these, I express reverence for your phenomenal voice, be proud of your presentation, but work a little on the humor, you are already a legend, you will soon be the God of humor. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 and enormous respect for everything you have given us with what you have done and will do on film and stage.🙏🎬
Absolutely one of the top songs of the 80s. No matter how many times I hear this song, it always puts a smile on my face and a joy in my heart!!!❤ And he actually did a pretty good job!👏👏👏
It's a terribly over-rated song. I don't dispute the talent of A-ha singing it but it's such a banal song. Good luck to A-ha that it's been used in hundreds of ads because it has spanned generations as a familiar song because of its advertising appeal. Otherwise, Jim Carrey can actually sing although he doesn't quite have the range for this song.
I loved this song so much mostly because of the fun time it was in my life when it came out and amazing video. It always makes me smile, now Jim Carrey who filled our 80s and then when my daughter came in the 90s we loved so many of his movies over and over. He filled with so many laughs on so many levels it seems. And his Letterman show cover of this song was pretty great, we loved his singing in the Cable Guy. What a perfect mix to make me smile today ❤
I was at a restaurant back in ‘93 that had karaoke. Well, a guy got up to sing this song and, by God, he hit every note just perfect!! Really hard song, I was impressed.
Jim just discovered the secret to immortality, he accepted Jesus as his personal savior which is why he’s not acting much anymore since that’s not well thought of out there in that dark place
ALEX TREBEK As soon as you use the word "illuminati" you have lost all credibility. Take off that tin foil hat it is cutting off the blood to your brain.
I remember when he was starting out as a stand-up comedian. What a great career he made for himself. He's not only funny, but he acts and is an actual artist (painting and sketching).
Wow. That was very well done. Jim Carrey has brought so much joy to so many people on the planet.
❤
This guy is a living legend. Forever a fan!
Me too I love him 🙏🏻❤🥰
He really is, one of the most charismatic celebs in my opinion!
@@petraleopold2713no 💩 Sherlock
Used to be a legend until he went political woke.
@@TearDownThisWall yeah but Jebus was woke for his time eh
There's nothing Jim Carrey can't do. We are lucky to have him in our generation as he brings so much talent for our entertainment.
I call him "the white Bill Cosby". **Minus the sexual abuse and forcibly penetrating women, of course**
That is it true !!!! Hahhh
Obviously you missed his voice crack at 1:13
Right up until he lost his bananas doing the Andy Kaufman movie. He's been a complete imbecile since.
He was an octave low on the high note.
Jim Carrey always makes me smile. His facial expressions while singing were hysterical, but he actually did a nice job on a hard-to-sing song. Bravo!!
Same here, how are you doing?
He also sang 'Creep' once, that Radiohead song
he didn't - he mocked it up (while being heavily out of tune in several places), just listen to original version the notes are way higher. Though its just a gig for fun and not some song contest:)

Lol to be honest it is a very hard song on the vocal part.

True. The original high note is an E - this is a D. So a step lower.
Of course. But i guess it was out of Jim's range. Thus it would be rediculous..:)
jfunf its not out he's just an untrained singer. im baritone as well, i can pull off a high E in head because my top head is high A
Michael? You're alive!
My respect for Jim Carrey has gone up into the stratosphere, up there with his voice in the last 35 seconds of this performance. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He did take 2 breaths.
lol I love how he broke the cup with 'his voice'!! He's so awesome.
Zhivargo L. U right with his voice.. Only with his voice
Dave actually looked annoyed at that. 😂
Even if it was in a lower key, the fact that he hit the third verse's high note without a falsetto is pretty impressive
Vocal range to match the acting, and a supremely present human being to boot.
It was a falsetto dude. Like 100% so.
@@MrExcessum I think OP is referring to the note just before the obvious falsetto part

I wonder if Dave knew that would happen. I'm kind of curious how they planned that (if at all). I thought the mug could have been a prop but it still had water in it and took some effort to break. Pretty wild for TV.
Do you know how many people all over the world sang that song for years and the result was all the neighborhood cats left town on the next bus? I give the guy credit, he hit all those big notes, and with a little vocal training he would’ve sounded awesome. Even Barbra Streisand trains for vocals before concerts and in between. That song is not easy to sing! I couldn’t even count how many registers there are in there.
I'm down with that, I hit all these points, I was about 9 when this song came out, waiting, ready, when I was needed... But any better singer was practicing what the song was. I'm not going to show my hurt. I will instead focused on the falsetto parts, scare that coffee cup out of people's hand. Yeah, bitch, I hit that high, Watch this!
@@THEAJFrost 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lucky you! I was one of the people that sent the cats out of town on the bus! What’s worse, I don’t even know what the words are to this day. I just sang what I heard, they weren’t even real words, so I must’ve sounded like someone’s drunk relative at a wedding!
Ahahahahahahahahhahaha
yup....I still can't hit that note.....oh well....in a day or twoooooooo ! lol
" I couldn’t even count how many registers there are in there." - Two and a half octaves, starting on A2, ending on E5.
Nicely sung by Jim
Rohit Singh he could've made a song.....
Jim Carey doing tom jones
Nicely sung??? He's terrible!
...yes, a terrible one.
Funny at the end! Dave Letterman give paper towels to Jim Carrey like "Hey, YOU clean that up!😂👍
lol. I was looking for this comment
Love em, and In Living Color was just the greatest start for him too. I could never get enough in the 90's.
Wow! I had no idea that his massive vocal talent also included singing. I totally want an album.
Walking back while still singing the last note. 😂😂😂
0:37 For easy rewind. Because I can watch this over and over and over and over... 😅
He can really hit those middle notes.
HA
😆
And I'm sure you could too, assuming you were half the man Jim or Morten is.
@@americanpancakelive*A-HA!
I am swedish, first of all I apologize, I missed this magical moment, your performance was extremely good, you can be a star, in Europe we call these singers songbirds, you are one of these, I express reverence for your phenomenal voice, be proud of your presentation, but work a little on the humor, you are already a legend, you will soon be the God of humor. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 and enormous respect for everything you have given us with what you have done and will do on film and stage.🙏🎬
Absolutely one of the top songs of the 80s. No matter how many times I hear this song, it always puts a smile on my face and a joy in my heart!!!❤
And he actually did a pretty good job!👏👏👏
It's funny because it wasn't that bad at all!
It's a terribly over-rated song. I don't dispute the talent of A-ha singing it but it's such a banal song. Good luck to A-ha that it's been used in hundreds of ads because it has spanned generations as a familiar song because of its advertising appeal.
Otherwise, Jim Carrey can actually sing although he doesn't quite have the range for this song.
@@stephenpower8723 See the thing here Stephen is we are expressing our opinions, just like you did, nothing more than an OPINION!!!!
It’s really great that Morten (the original singer of take on me) can sing such a difficult song. He’s incredibly talented
Jim Carrey singing Take On Me by Aha man I miss Jim in the movies that and he nailed this song
I love jim when he sings or acts doesn't matter you're in for a treat!
I like how Letterman kept a pile of paper towels tucked under his desk, just in case...
In case of what
@Gerry Freeman Jim is the reason ,he might have thought he will spill the coffee on him😂😂😂,when Jim is around you never know
Just in case someone sings Take On Me and the high notes shatter a mug. Happens all the time. Have to be ready, “just in case.....”
Amazing vocal, he even broke the cup with his voice, did you see that!?
This man never fail me to laugh always 😂😂😂
Jim Carrey I get chills watching you sing 😍💖💖💖
Only Morten Harket can do it perfectly, without effort!
YESS!
Absolutely!
Lucyinthesky he is good but he still need effort
Aha
Lucyinthesky yep
Jim Carey is a legend of his own! Wow 👍👏👏👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
Imagine if he sing that seriously , he's just playing it and its awesome
He went for serious in the beginning, and then his voice cracked at 1:13, so he shifted gears to save face...
Look for him singing I Am THe Walrus. It is pretty cool. I like some of it better than John.
@@LoowheezeBreeze no, none of it was serious. the man CAN sing
@@tncountryboy06 Millions - if not billions - of people can sing... he's not special
imbecile
I loved this song so much mostly because of the fun time it was in my life when it came out and amazing video. It always makes me smile, now Jim Carrey who filled our 80s and then when my daughter came in the 90s we loved so many of his movies over and over. He filled with so many laughs on so many levels it seems. And his Letterman show cover of this song was pretty great, we loved his singing in the Cable Guy. What a perfect mix to make me smile today ❤
Wow! That's one of the best renditions of "Take On Me'.He nailed the high notes bigtime. That's awesome stuff coming from a comedian.
jokes aside, that was just amazing !! Jim is the best
Wow, he sings very well and with a funny end 😂. I love his personality, very spontaneous! 👏🎤🎯💯🤗
The commitment to breaking the mug! I salute you sir. Thank you.
That's an awesome 80's classic!
Wow,,Not only can he sing and move like Elvis Presley in Another Johnny Carson,show.But He can relly sing.Great Fansatick Job,, Jim.
You're absolutely right, how are you doing?
There isn’t anything this man can’t do. I just love him.
😄
make me laugh
Fantastic!
LOL, I got a new respect for Carrey after seeing his paintings between 2016 and 2020. He is a true artist.
Крутой мужик. Дай ему Бог здоровья !
И прежде всего - психического
Легендар!
Great classic of a-ha. :-)
This guy is AWESOME!
WOW! He friggin’ nailed it, with just the slightest hint of his own comedic style! 👏
If nailing it is being pitchy, then he sure did.
Wow Jim is a good singer too! 🎉
I was at a restaurant back in ‘93 that had karaoke. Well, a guy got up to sing this song and, by God, he hit every note just perfect!! Really hard song, I was impressed.
Hells Bells Mr Carey - you kept that talent quiet! Outstanding sir! And one of my favourite songs too!
Jim Carrey, Weird Al, and Tom Kenny are the reasons we need to find the secret to immortality.
Jim just discovered the secret to immortality, he accepted Jesus as his personal savior which is why he’s not acting much anymore since that’s not well thought of out there in that dark place
YOU GO JIM! Make another movie like "Majestic". It's my favorite Carry film.
ALEX TREBEK As soon as you use the word "illuminati" you have lost all credibility. Take off that tin foil hat it is cutting off the blood to your brain.
LOL! you had me a illuminati. STOP watching ALEX JONES are you will never get a girlfriend.
Man, this guy is so talented...........I was not a fan at first, but he's grown on me.........very talented ......
How is that possible 😂he's fantastic
Great job Jim!!!! I'm always and forever a fan.
I remember when he was starting out as a stand-up comedian. What a great career he made for himself. He's not only funny, but he acts and is an actual artist (painting and sketching).
Agreed, he's not funny or an artist, he should try selling hambrugers for a change, like loose change.
Nothing clean, wash day.
When he broke the mug on purpose 😂😂
He sings very well ! I love Jim Carrey.
I can't even tell what I'm feeling right now. This man is a genius. I'm from Norway.
First seeing this. Love it!!!
