I don't need to remind you this was before there was Auto Tune so this is all his vocals on this song. This is when you had to be a real singer to be able to sing.

I was totally thinking, "He's got that Patrick Swayze look"!

A-ha is from Norway and the song was originally released in 1984. It was one of the biggest hits of the 80s and the video revolutionary back in early days of MTV. Singer is Morten Harket and he is rumoured to have five octave vocal range. When one Finnish artist and composer told him a couple of years ago that he has one of the best voices in the business, Harket just replied: "Yes, I know".

This song came out in 1985. It was in heavy rotation on MTV back when MTV actually played videos all day every day. I was 14 years old in USA and this song was everywhere. It also won all the MTV awards because that video was some amazing stuff for 1985! Its held up pretty well! You seemed a bit confused watching it. It starts out she's in a diner reading a comic book, our hero is in a motorcycle race with some guys. Our hero wins, she is in the diner with the comic book smiling because he won and he reaches a hand out to her and pulls her into the comic book world with him. Meanwhile the waitress at the diner thinks the girl left without paying her bill and in anger takes the comic book and throws it away. In the comic book the guys from the race are still mad they lost and come for our hero with wrenches. Our hero and the girl run to get out but only she can escape. When she gets out of the comic book she of course is dirty next to the trash can where the book was thrown into. She grabs the book hurries home and opens the page to see they've attacked him and he's lying on the ground. She cries for him and a teardrop falls on his picture in the book and brings him back to life. She watches him struggle to break free of the comic book to get into her world with her to live happily ever after in their very own brand new comic book series! That was exhausting. But I hope it clears it up. Love your reactions...and your accents!😉

the video is from 1985, the drawings were made by pencil by scratch, it was awarded video of the year on MtV and it's so unique that still in 2020 it's amazing, I'm so proud I was a teen back in the 80d

I remember when this video made its world premiere on MTV, back in the days when the channel actually played music videos. This was released in 1985 & I was just 18 yrs old... This was in the early days of computer graphics being used in videos. CGI animation was in its infancy. This was a groundbreaking video, as we had never seen anything like it. 35 years later and it still holds up to today's technology even though it is so simplistic. Another prime example of this would be Dire Straits' "Money for nothing" official video. :-)

one of the most underrated yet brilliant bands of all time. their music will blow you away, if you give it time to grow on you. it will last a lifetime. even both my teen boys love them alot. A-ha's songs are top of their playlists.

These fellas are from Norway. The singers' name is Morten Harket, and they still perform nowadays and sound virtually the same. Morten still hits that high note with relative ease. He is a great singer, there is no doubt.

A-ha is a Norwegian band, and this is one of the most favorite and iconic music videos of the 1980s. Real music will beat out autotuned music any day. Just goes to show you, don't settle for something just because it's new. Even the remakes don't hold a candle to the quality of real music that is a little older. Can you feel it? When it comes to music, always choose quality and you will always be amazed and delighted.

They're Norwegian! Which is why the grammar in the lyrics is a bit off, but that makes them sort of poetic, you think? I believe this was their big international hit, but they were a pretty long-lived band. They did a theme for one of the Bond movies, The Living Daylights. Their video for "The Sun Always Shines on TV" is sort of a sequel to this one, if you want to find out how the couple ends up.

this video was ground breaking back in the day no other bands or singers had thought of any of this ,was a award winning m,tv video at the time ,it raised the video bar

If the video is out of this world in the year 2020, imagine how we thought of it when we first saw it new in the 80's. It's brilliant, and it stands the test of time. It's not the cops that are chasing them, it's the motorbike racers that lost the race at the start of the video.

This was the perfect joining of a great catchy song to a creative new video. Either one would have been highly memorable, but both together? Immortal.

this was a massive hit back in the days when MTV was all about music

A-ha is Norwegian band from Norway. Morton Harkett is Norwegian with his handsome Nordic good looks and magnificent voice. This video played frequently in 1985 on MTV back in the day when MTV played talented real music videos.

I'm glad you appreciated the dedication to the animation and editing because this was HUGE for an 80's video. Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer' was another groundbreaking video of the 80's!

One of the best music videos of all times. Way ahead of it times and the song and singer, top notch. This is by the way, has been my ring tone for over 7 years

Morten the singer holds the world record for the longest note ever held at a live performance. Check out ‘Summer moved on ‘ 2000

This won the video of the year it was created. It's still considered one of the top video's of that era.

Norwegian band. The video is probably the epitome of the '80s and MTV,

Trivia: This song was inspired by "Also Sprach Zarathustra", better known as the theme of _2001: A Space Odyssey_ . You know those famous three rising notes, right? Everyone does. The same notes are used for the chorus of _Take On Me_ , when he actually sings the lyrics "Take on me". :)

This has good visual effects, especially for being made in 1985

they are Norwegian , I’ve been a fan of them since I was 12 I’m now 47, the singer is now 60 years old and can still hit that note, you guys jus missed them, they had shows in England recently. You have a new subscriber if you keep reacting to a-ha, take on me now has over a billion views

All the way from Norway believe it or not, & saw in when it came out, I was a mere teenager (don't ask my age now!!). Really loved it, & definately amazing to see. xx

This was MTV at it's peak... when they actually played music videos, and artist videos were creative. This was the most memorable one for me.

A-ha lead singer is Morten Harket They are from Oslo, Norway... formed in 1981 or 1982

"The Sun Always Shines on T.V." is the follow up to this music video

They’re on a massive world tour at the moment selling out all over the world still including LA. fantastic live still . morten the singer in his 60s and still hitting it.... so proud of them all their amazing music over the 35 years. They hold the record for largest paying crowd at a gig still of 200 thousand in one crowd wow!

Fans can still go to that cafe in London ... but they’re from Norway , they made their name over here in the Uk though but became internationally massive

It's not the police, it's the motorcycle rival team, pissed that they lost the race.

2:59 and this is back in the early 80s so it's all hand drawn. As an animator myself this video holds a special place in my heart.

A-ha are from Oslo, Norway; still spectacular!! The video itself took a LOT OF HARD WORK into it. Morten Harket is the singer. They were a group of 3 at first but continued WORLDWIDE!!!!!

A ha - Hunting High and Low. A ha - The Sun always Shines on TV. Two classic songs from A Ha. Also, A Ha - Crying in the Rain

This video was a big deal when it came out. That effect was revolutionary then.

Video released in 1985. A-ha is a band from Norway

This was one of the best music video of the 1980’s.

this is why the 80s is so awesome

This video was iconic for its time and it still holds up very well today.

This song IS the 80’s, another one would be 99 red balloons, the beat just takes you back.

You HAVE to check out a-ha’s The Sun Always Shines On TV!!! It’s a sequel to Take On Me!

Ya, this whole album is on another level.

The storyline is that the main guy/lead singer won a motorcycle race at the beginning (all the stuff during the instrumental intro) and wasn't supposed to win. And the guys chasing him and the leading lady were guys intent on taking him out for winning. That's what I've always thought, anyway. If Michael Jackson's Thriller didn't exist, this would've been the hands down BIGGEST video of the 80s.

The two chasing them are the guys who lost to him in the race in the beginning. Norwegian band, Irish-born British director. Pretty sure it was shot somewhere in the UK.

At the beginning it’s a race and the two men are upset for losing. The head singer’s name is Morten Harket. The second single is The Sun Always Shines on TV, which at the beginning continues a brief by ending to the story of the Take on Me video.

I remember watching this video during its original run on MTV. It was a game changer. Great pop song with an even better video.

NO computer graphics. All sketched by hand. RECOGNIZE!

The two men that were chasing the lead singer and the girl were from the race in the beginning. When the waitress crumpled up the comic book and threw it in the trash can that's when the storylines crossed over and their worlds collided.

Many girls had a crush on that singer back then. Myself included

I think he does 4 octaves. Also thus guy held the longest recorded note in a song in all of history. I just read that today. And, then I come over here and you guys are reacting to him. These guy recorded this over 20 years ago. But they have been recording albums ever since sometimes more than one album a year.

This song IS the 80's

All these years later, this remains the best video ever made!

My favourite 80s video! The main singer is Morten Harket, and the other 2 band members are Magne Furuholmen & Pau Waaktaar-Savoy. From Norway

Awesome video guys! I KNEW he looked like Patrick Swayze!

If you like that, check out their unplugged version from I think 2017... there is an emotional weight there. Also the song The Sun Always Shines On TV is kind of a video sequel

The Sun Always Shines On TV

A-ha is a Norwegian group. The lead singer (and star of the video) is Morten Harket (look him up, he’s barely aged!!). The “bad guys” attacking the couple were the losers of the motorcycle race at the start of the vid.

Love your reaction. So true. This is a great song.

Might still be my favorite music video. Perfect video and perfectly matched to a song

A-ha are a Norwegian band, the lead singer's name (no, not Patrick Swayze!) Is Morten Harket and to my mind, this video stands up against anything produced before or since. It's hit 1 billion views now

Absolute M A S T E R P I E C E 👏

Great reaction Lars. I remember when this song first came out it was wow in the 80s and its still wow now its my fave A-ha song

I'm a huge fan of them since i was 11, i'm 45 now. I was and still stunning about the lead vocal Morten Harket and the band is still on tour all around the world. They are more than #takeonme and they are amazing on stage ❤️ So if you want to hear more about them take a look to their youtube channel as @a-ha of course. Thanks for remind me my own reaction about this iconic vid 🙏💕

Those guys weren't the police, they were the bicycle motorist who lost the race and they were angry.

That is an old school animation style called Rotoscope. You take live action video of actors and then animate over it. Make the movement life like.

In MY opinion one of the best videos EVER and hey it's from the 1980"s!!!!! Check out every decade, Tommy James, and the Shondells, Crimson and Clover. LOVE his voice!!!

The lead singer , Morton Harkett is I believe 60 years old now !

A-ha is a band from Norway. They are not British

The next a-ha song good to do would be their follow up single - 'The Sun Always Shines on TV'- the video sort of carries on from where Take On Me left off. I've seen a-ha twice in the last couple of months on tour, they are fantastic! Morten Harket can still hit those high notes!

I remember being 14y old and I was in hospital because of asthma, and I had tickets to Ah-a consert. And my biggest concern was that I couldn't go. Long story short, I did go and my crush at that time held me while we watched the consert. So nice story,right.!?

Each frame of the video was hand drawn. They are an Oslo band from the 80s. This video was made in 1985 before computer graphics.

Ta lads, this video. The song was 1986 and we were blown away when it came out, the song was fantastic. The video was freaking immense at the time x

The hallway scene where the singer is slamming the walls, was taken from the movie Altered States, where quantum reality is running amok, and the main character is using pain to focus, bringing himself back to reality so he can save the woman he loves.

One of the best songs of the 80’s

Kudos also to the record producer Alan Tarney! Try 'The Sun Always Shines on TV' and 'Train of Thought' by A-ha

I remember when i heard this on the radio in the sommer 1985 here in Oslo Norway when i was 15 before it was a hit, and thinking this is BIG there are going to bi big, and so they whent to london made this video for 12.000 usd that was a lot of money then, and they blow up. so great. even saw them in concert here at home 1986 and on a misic festival in Danmark 2000 they still make music. listen to Spanish steps the singer is Morten Harket from oslo. and he van still hit high notes and falsettos!

My favourite song and the first 7" single I bought. It took 6 months for two artists to hand draw the pencil lines (with no computer!) over each film cell printed out as a full page size. The magic frame sections were cut out with a craft knife to let the original video image through. Their second hit single "The Sun Always Shines on TV" starts immediately after this video stops. When a-ha broke up for a few years in 2010, the same video team made "Butterfly, Butterfly" with references to 30 years+ of their previous videos. Also check out Hunting High and Low!

A-ha's "Take on Me" video is only the 3rd. video in KZfaq history to have over 1 Billion views.

Music from back in the day is always legendary.. Unlike trash nowadays... Just noise pollution

Great reaction. This was amazing when it first came out, we were just as mesmerised as you guys!! This was very much ahead of its time. Brilliant post.

Their next hit was The Sun Always Shines on TV, and is well worth a listen. Also, the MTV Unplugged version of Take on Me is hauntingly beautiful.

These guys are Norwegian,but an American producer found them in Europe and brought them to a another writer and music video producer and he produced them. Two were blond and played keyboards and there are two keyboards playing at the same time.

This video was entirely ground breaking, way before CGI.

The bad guys in the video weren't cops. :) Remember from the very beginning of the video? These were the guys chasing Our Hero on motorcycles. They found him while he was chatting up the girl and attacked. They're just basically bad guys to give it some action/drama.

Your reaction is the same I had watching for the 1st time in 1985! This video is phenomenon, incredible & ground breaking, especially for 1985!! 👍📺

One of the greatest songs and music videos ever

The gorgeous Morton Harket

The Sun Always Shine on TV... is the sequel... very good song

Morten Harket voice, beautiful

Great Reaction Guys to the most-watched video ever on MTV and over ONE BILLION views on KZfaq which only a handful of videos have achieved. Not bad for a song that is 35 years old. The Girl was the Girlfriend then of Morten the lead singer and this was not even their first language as they are Norwegian not British :)

You guys are lucky to experience this for the first time!! Enjoy the 80s guys!👍

After the 1984 release, the members of A-Ha still weren't happy with that version. Their Record Label got another recording producer in and they played around with a new sound style, which became the version you're reacting to! When Morten Harkat (A-Ha's lead singer) heard this version, he knew just how to sing it. Apart from the new recording with awesome locals, This Music Video helped play its part by raising this Norwegian to world wide success with #1's across the globe thanks to MTV. A-ha had relocated the UK when they first got their record deal, and this is why you thought they were British, because the Take On Me film clip! The Savoy Café is in London but I'll let you google its location!! Once the world rights itself from this Pandemic, the Savoy Café has been added to my itinerary for the next time purchase a Round The World Ticket.......

A-ha "Hunting High and Low" !!!

Buddies! Cops don’t come after someone with a big ass wrench, and the #13 on the guys headgear was from the very beginning, those two guys after him lost the motorcycle race to him at the start of the video. Keep safe and blessed!

One of the best video from my youth, and the song is Good🇸🇪🇳🇴 Another Good -80 "video" is with Pete Gabriel "Sledgehammer"

Check out The Sun Always Shines on TV from... a-ha

That video is 1985 35 yrs ago

Check out Summer Moved On. I still see them in concert most years!

I actually grew up with this song and never liked it until I heard that slower rendition that Deadpool 2 used. Then I got hooked

Did not understand a single word, but great reaction
