This is for anyone who thought this was one of the most awesome videos ever back in the 80's.

I saw this on You Tube a couple of months ago. Very amusing.

This is probably one of my favourite 80s songs, and I still think the video is awesome - certainly better than some of the lazy minded rubbish they put together these days. It is somewhat tainted by the video for The Sun Always Shines on TV, but I try to forget that that one exists when I watch this one.

Of course, my liking of this video has nothing, nothing I tell you, to do with the fact that I used to have a huge crush on Morten Harket. ;-)

*lol*

I've always loved this video for the artwork and creativity. And, yes, Morton Harket is fairly easy on the eyes. ;-)

I don't remember the video for "The Sun Always Shines on TV." It was bad?

[fullmoon_dreams]

No, it wasn't bad, but it started off with a continuation of the couple in this one and I didn't like what happened much. You can find it easily on You Tube, just take a look at the first bit of it and you will see what I mean

Yeah, I looked at the video for "The Sun Always Shines on TV" and see what you mean - no happy ending. :(

As I was looking for that video, I came across the video for "The Living Daylights" from the Bond film of the same name. I remember seeing that on TV not too long ago and being struck by the irony of Bond teaming up with the mujahadin of Afghanistan (precursor to the modern Al-Quaeda) against the USSR. That was released in 1987 and no one could have guessed where it would end up today...

I never had a-ha posters, etc, but I liked Hunting High and Low well enough to get it on CD several years ago and I have a couple of the songs from that album on my iPod. :)

I just try to put that one out of my mind when I see the Take on Me video. I much prefer happy endings.

I don't think I have ever seen the video for The Living Daylights, and only saw the film once. I am not a huge Bond fan, although my father has the whole lot on video/DVD. It is sometimes strange looking at the politics of those and comparing them to the modern day. How things change...

I don't have any of A-Ha's albums on CD, although I used to have them on cassette. Most of my favourite songs from them I have on various compilation albums containing a variety of 80s tracks. I think the only one I don't have that I would like is the title track of Hunting High and Low.
