THE TIME CAPSULE: TAKE ON ME. More retro tomorrow.

<<<THE TIME CAPSULE<<<

 

TAKE ON ME

A-Ha

1985     

U.K. - #2; U.S.A. - #1

Trivia:

It was a case of third time lucky with "Take On Me". Norwegian trio A-Ha had recorded the original version in 1984 but it flopped. A new recording of the song was issued the following year and, on its second attempt, finally shot up the charts. The unforgettable music video directed by Steve Barron helped expose the track to a wider audience.
