Same! Both versions are fantastic in their own way. A-Ha’s version unfortunately didn’t get to the top of the charts, but this one got to number 1. And that’s the UK charts back in the day
i am a Big critic of song remakes but I have to say this is just Awesome this was just Beautifully done not a thing was changed except fresh new voices from a very Talented group of very Handsome guys with very gifted voices Thank you for a job very well done I look at this as a Tribute.
I remember hearing this for the first time walking into a club in 2000 and wondered what it was. I was so taken with the music, etc that I had to buy it and did so. It's the melody, the accompaniment, the way the guys sing it: excitedly, clearly and with a sense of involvement. I was intrigued as to how the lead singer, whoever that is, was able to hit that top note! Gaius
I don't know why but at least once a year I would watch this video because it just makes me so happy. I'm not particularly an A1 fan but I just really like this cover so much, and I just love this MV a lot. Maybe I have bad taste? I dunno... but this whole thing is just so comforting. It brings me back to the good old days of the early 2000s. I wish they'd remake this video but with the same concept. I love all those little things kids these days would probably not even be aware of like the netscape browser lol.
I'm not gonna lie ....I was looking for the original ....I'm a dj .....a1 were always shit....I saw them at this under 18 rave...pilled out my tits .....and they got spat on by everyone in the crowd....again I can't lie....it was funny as fuck
Im born 1992 and i only knew the original version from A-Ha. I hesr this version the first time and now i know why. Some master pieces should stay untouched.

You know that this is an A-ha Song? And one of the most known song's of all time? The original version of A-ha (with the best music video of all times) has more then 1 billion views. A-ha is one of the best Bands existing in the music scene. So please 🙏 don't write "A1" above the Lyrics. By the way I really like the A1 cover of Take On Me.
All these years I have been looking for this song!!!! I didn't remember the name of the artist and the title... Just looking for a song that has "space effect" or like flying in the space, lol. I was twelve when I keep listening to this song from my old mp3 player and didn't understand English and then the disc broke. But here I am now! I'm dancing happily while singing along!!! 😂😁
ahhh the early 2000's....when everything tried way too hard to be all futuristic and as edgy as "The Matrix" even thought the technology wasnt even that advanced back then...
Well, that's just because of the competition at the time. A-ha's was number 2 for 3 weeks, and has sold more overall. A-ha's was beat out by Jennifer Rush's "The Power of Love", which was the highest selling single that year. A1 didn't have that level of competition. That being said I do like A1's cover.
I was absolutely mind blown by this video when it came out and thought it was proper space age 😂😂😂 knew it was a cover song but it made me appreciate this as well as the original
Oh my god, the song I've found a long time... about 8-9 years. I often listened to this song when I was a child but I can not remember its name due to my bad English. Thanks God so much. My favorite song.
I'm a 90s kid and this was my introduction to this song. Which is one of my favorites for years. Aha did it better, but these guys are cute and good vocalists.
I love the original. A-ha is amazing and will always have the best version of this song. But in it's own right, this cover isn't bad. The video is trash, agreed but for a different take on the original it's not bad. I also appreciate them bringing an old classic to younger audiences as it's how a lot of them come to discover and appreciate classic music.
I feel like that's the 1 thing ppl don't appreciate with stuff like covers! Gives you a reason to seek out the original and potentially discover if for yourself. This is a perfect example and another 1 that comes to mind is 'Singin in the rain' by mint royale. Pretty popular 50s song(as far as I know) but bought to absolute life with a cover in the 2000's. A song, I personally love and appreciate!
Well true it was first done by aha from the 80s where one day a lady bored of the waitress drinking a coffee in the cafe it’s reading a comic book based on a hero who wins a bike race against his Opponents. But as she turns the page the character comes to life and takes her into the comic to check out the band playing in the mirror. Little does she know the waitress angered by it screws up the comic and throws it away bringing up the two rivals who chase them down. When she escapes she realises no my hero and runs home she then sees her hero knocked down and he comes into the house blocked by mirrors at first but then he becomes a real person and a happy ending.

Guys, please shut up about the quality and stuff. Back in the day it was FUTURISTIC, we all liked it and it was for its time.
CD and VCD player...A1, Westlife,mltr, backstreet boys, Boyzone...what a beautiful days it was...
A fellow Indonesian? (You know, VCD...)
OMG I FOUND IT!!! This was my favorite music video back then 😭 we had their CD and I played it often as a kid.
Wow nostalgic ❤
I found this so cool and futuristic when I was younger... looking back, oh dear haha!
In 15 years you'll probably look back at this day, and you'll say the same.
Lmao. I am laughing so hard cause of this comment
Jade W me too
Exactly haha!
Lmao
I love both the original and this one!
Same! Both versions are fantastic in their own way. A-Ha’s version unfortunately didn’t get to the top of the charts, but this one got to number 1. And that’s the UK charts back in the day
@@Matsuna13 'And that’s the UK charts back in the day'
Agreed! Back when MTV was MTV and not what it's been for the last years!
I love both, but prefer this one. 😊

The 2000s a era where technology was good but crappy at the same time and this obscure music video is one example
Love this version. Heard it 1st in 2000 being blasted out in night club. Blown away with overall sound beat high note fancy bits. everything
I love this A1 band.. Since when I was in high school.. I love this songs😘🥰 A1 band 1990's Idols..god blessed😘🥰💕
This is the only band besides Westlife that I think all the members were almost equally good-looking. 😊 I wonder where they're all now.
90s kids will still love this!!! good times :D
TheAlijanify Is to w
Thefire I'm a 2006 kid but I love the old one , this one I don't like 😓
Thefire Not a 90s kid, but this song is pretty cool! :D
i am 80s/90s kid and i don't mind either they sound different and good for different reasons you are allowed to like both you know
Its from 2000, boybands never died out, they didn't suddenly return in the 2010s.
Ben Adams 19 years old is a baby doll❤
This has to be the most early 2000s thing I've ever seen in my entire life, at i love it.😁
Except that the song off course, that is from 1984.
I remember I was 5 years old I think and we used to play their songs every morning in the living room. Best times, 90's music!!
As a 90's, ive been make belived that this is one of their original songs.... dance member.
This song blew up in SE Asia and I remember hearing it everywhere growing up, on the radio, in the mall, etc...
i can't say a bad word against this version as it introduced me to the amazing Aha. also reminds me of my old school disco days
It's already 2022 and still listening to this.
Memories. Missing the good old days.

Huge crush on Paul

Talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
Odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
Almost better to be safe than sorry
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh, things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Take on me
Thanks Lord 7th!

Nostalgia...it brings back my high school memories...90s boybands are legend...
We are throwing back to a throwback. Damn I'm getting old. Thx, Tom Scott.
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER MADE
Please explain?
Original is way better
I prefer the original… vidio alots better than this one
This cover is an insult to A-ha’s original
Красавцы и хорошие парни классный хит не испортили хорошо перевели.❤😮😊
Ben Adam's voice😍
Me listening back to this song because I really miss my childhood memories ❤️ and my old friends that I have no longer updates about now 🥺
Die hard fan to this A1 band love you all guys ❤❤❤
Lol the funny thing is that I actually grew up with this song without the original, I personally find both alright
no need to be so tough cause c'mon, It's a 90s boyband, chill out everyone
This came out in 2000. Boybands didn't die out and return in 2010.

The early 2000's seemed like a scary place
ahhh the early 2000's....when everything tried way too hard to be all futuristic and as edgy as "The Matrix" even thought the technology wasnt even that advanced back then...
Alright calm down..
Not for me fella
XD
I'm born in 1992...
I can confirm.. it was a scary place...
Still listening to this in 2024. Hope A1 will do a come-back.
I love this video, I miss you A1:
I think this was the first single I properly saved for and bought.. so many years ago and still good x)!
2:53 badass motorcycle still cool and never fades, my elementary days
On an A1 music marathon to hype for their Manila concert tomorrow! Greatest hits of early 2000s 😍
so happy to see fellow Mino fans on a1 channel🤭🤩
Ahhh 😍 I love this song I use to play it all the time back in the old days 😘
For late 90's/early 2000's pop this is quite respectful of the original and really ain't that bad at all.
This got to the top of the UK charts and a-ha’s version didn’t.
Now, there’s something not quite right about that...
Ya
Actually A-Ha's version got to number 2 in the UK and this got to number 1 in the UK. So both versions actually did pretty good
Topped the charts when i was born
Well, that's just because of the competition at the time. A-ha's was number 2 for 3 weeks, and has sold more overall. A-ha's was beat out by Jennifer Rush's "The Power of Love", which was the highest selling single that year. A1 didn't have that level of competition. That being said I do like A1's cover.
@@Simbreon also the feeling of nostalgia to which helped the one get to number 1
Me living in 90s really loved this song. Even hearing the 80s version I still can say I loved this more. Its a matter of taste and generation I guess.
No
You are evil
Morten do not aprove
00s kid here I disagree but I respect your opinion
Pauls solo at the end, love it, my favourite ❤❤
Yikes. Tom Scott wasn't kidding when he said this was "the most Year-2000s thing ever made".
I don't know... i think a-ha is good, and A1 is good too... no comparison for me. Both great.
80 kids has nostalgia with this song... Time fly fast,, damn
I was absolutely mind blown by this video when it came out and thought it was proper space age 😂😂😂 knew it was a cover song but it made me appreciate this as well as the original
When I'm hearing this song it takes me back 20 years ago when i was still a kid very nostalgic
jansen lee This isn’t the original
a-ha is the original
Jesus ah ah
Li’l Jammy I think he’s talking about the music video and this particular cover. It screams early 00s for sure.
Takes me back to uni days 2000-2001 ♥️♥️♥️ had a huge crush on Ben back in the day ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

One of my childhood's favorite 90's song ♥
Its not from 90. the original is from a-ha
@@hooajo this is millenium you see the aesthetics, tech style was the millenium
@@duded-s9m this is a different version yes. But unnecessary because the original is too good and popular
This song was so popular when I was in high school! Still remember when A1 came to Thailand and my best friend had a meet and greet with them.
What a tune! Cannot wait for big reunion tour. Bring it on !!!!!
That concert would last a whole 5 minutes
Shame they didn’t make the tune or write the lyrics. It’s just a bland cover of A-Ha’s perfect 80’s original.
Psssh... Don't tell anyone that I listen to these kind of music. *slowly turn my back to make sure no one is behind me*.
you are so funny!
you are so funny!
+011azr you sound cute the way you wrote it :) 90's rule hehe (im from '95)
This is so funny that it *actually isnt and you are a shitty comedian*
Old but gold. I love it. Remember all my good days back. Miss it
I love this version of the song!!! 😍😍😍
This reeks of early 2000's
Also what is Malcolm in the Middle doing in a music video?
0:44 the one on the left
Actually the song was recorded in 1999.
You mean Ben, with the curtains hairstyle? Looks nothing like him.
I thought the actor was int he video or something. Weird comment to make imo.
I remember my childhood memories. If there is a time to go back to 90s, I would go rather.
Oh 90's, how I miss the cheesiness.
This was early 2000s
Yeah we need some cheesiness back, at least it was a decade remembered for. not sure where we're at currently
lee dicknson Ah...well, shit.
Recorded in 1999
The blatant Matrix rip-off at 2:10 instantly told me it was 1999+ :P
