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.

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.

Я тоже вырос в 90-е, но не могу назвать Джима Керри одним из лучших актёров. Я всегда ждал от видео каких-то серьёзных фильмов по типу Рэмбо или фильмов с Брюсом Ли. Потому что в начале 90-ых эти фильмы было увидеть почти нереально, а что-то нереально вообще. И каждый человек которому удавалось хотя бы на какое-то время попасть туда где можно хотя бы немного посмотреть иностранные фильмы, старался использовать это время максимально полезно. И наврятли хоть один фильм с Джимом Керри, можно отнести в категорию полезных. Я считал неплохими фильмами там Маску и Тупой и Ещё Тупее, но это были фильмы которые меня уговаривали посмотреть. Да, прикольно, но...я лично сам для себя никогда в них не видел особого смысла и никогда за этими фильмами не гонялся. И ни один из фильмов с Джимом Керри для меня не выделял самого Джима Керри как актёра. Он всегда был для меня как часть фильма, как приложение к нему, но не как какая-то самостоятельная личность. Фильмы с Джимом Керри это то без чего можно прожить. Да, неплохой актёр, но что-то большего о нём не скажешь.
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.

@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.

+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.

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.
[In Ed McMahon's voice]. You are correct, Sir! This has also been done in some movies and tv shows, usually as a parody. Although typically a wine glass, I though the mug was funnier.
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.
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 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). ❤
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.
My dog was asleep when I started this video. When it ended, I realized she was crying. Crying with big eyes looking at me, obviously asking what the heck was going on. I had to tell her that it’s all OK, took her a little while and reassurance to believe that nothing was wrong with this dude!!! LOL ❤❤❤

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).
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 😂
Jim Carrey is part of that very small pantheon of utterly unique comedians who completely take over a talk show because they 100% commit to whatever crazy shit they're doing. Love him.
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 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 😂
I know, Dave had a rough job.
Um, that wasn't coffee. If it was, it's the clearest coffee I've ever seen.
That was planned. He had like 300 towel back there and one job: act grumpy.
and don't forget Dave's reply after he hands Jim the towels..."here you go."
@@karistevens1653 That's two jobs.
Been a fan since my teenage years in the mid nineties. Jim is unique and a legend, he is incredibly talented.
Хотелось бы полной версии. Джим невероятно крут)
That was incredible. His high pitch shattered that mug.
😂😂😂 letterman was pissed
It’s really great that Morten (the original singer of take on me) can sing such a difficult song. He’s incredibly talented
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'm pretty sure the song selection was planned in advanced by all participating ...
In case anyone didn't get it, he broke the mug to imitate the phenomenon of a glass breaking from a sustained high singing note.
Lol I'm an idiot for not getting that
@@yourmother3207 Don't worry. It took me a second watching to get it.
You had to actually explain this......for facksake
looks like dave wasnt happy about it either
Thank you!
Letterman at the end: “Oh YeAh ThAt WaS fAnTaStIc”
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.
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.....”
Jim did this song very well in a comical manner.
He actually can sing 😮
He's good!
I honestly was expecting an "Adam Sandler" type performance 😂
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!
Jim is hilarious, he is funny without trying to be funny. I love watching him, great guy!!!❤️👍👍👍
He always liked to have fun.
No, he tries too hard and seems completely manic
Everything he does is extremely thought out . He’s a clown who never turns it off.
what are you talking about, he's trying to be funny all the time lol
Yeah I think he’s trying pretty hard most of the time. But what the hey, he usually nails it!!
Jim Is insanely talented there is nothing he can’t do.
His ex wives appreciated his talent in the divorce settlements
nah he cant be a crazed imaginary cartoonish life like greeny figure
He can't give birth
Jim is insane...
There, I fixed it for you.
Yes, sing
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). ❤
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
Wow! I had no idea that his massive vocal talent also included singing. I totally want an album.
Damn!! He can act, he’s an amazing artist and he can sing too? Kudos Mr Carrey 👏
Just now seeing this. When Jim Carrey brakes his cup on the table, David Letterman looked like he got mad. 😂
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.
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.
My dog was asleep when I started this video. When it ended, I realized she was crying. Crying with big eyes looking at me, obviously asking what the heck was going on. I had to tell her that it’s all OK, took her a little while and reassurance to believe that nothing was wrong with this dude!!! LOL ❤❤❤
😂😂😂
He hits every key perfect!!!! Omg I wish I could meet him!! I love Jim!!!
Every *note* you mean? He really didn't, but it was pretty good for a non-singer, and of course he didn't pull any punches.
Are you tone deaf???
The part where he breaks the coffee mug. I don’t think Letterman was expecting that
Or liked it.
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.
Тот самый человек,который заставит смеяться и ржать,даже тогда,когда в душе мерзость и тоска😂Спасибо Джеймс!
пардон, но кто такой Джеймс? 😁
@@zabutimaxim Джеймс это полное имя, а Джим, сокращённое. Как Роберт и Боб, Альфред и Фред, Фредди, Томас и Том, Сэмьюэл и Сэм и т.д.
@@denisivanov2522 круто! я знал про роберта с бобом, но про джим и джеймс не знал.
спасибо ☺️
@@denisivanov2522 какбе Джим Керри это типа псевдоним актерский. Не совсем корректно называть Джима Керри Джеймсом, наверное. Это как сказать: "Мне нравится Шерилин Саркисян".
@@RustEnot корректно называть его так, даже, так сказать, уважительно. Это как Том Круз полное имя Томас, Эд Ширан -Эдвард. Это как к отцу своей девушки или жены - привет Серега Соколов, мы говорим Сергей. Если бы был суд в отношении Джима Керри, он бы в документах проходил как Джеймс Керри, и судья бы к нему обращался как Джеймс, но ни как Джим. Есть ещё сокращение Джимбо, совсем приятельское. Ладно, писать в лом. Удачи
That keyboard version of it sounds like heaven.
Amazing vocal, he even broke the cup with his voice, did you see that!?
LOL, I got a new respect for Carrey after seeing his paintings between 2016 and 2020. He is a true artist.
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.
He has no equal anywhere. Never will. I'm in awe of him, he's great. 🌹❤️👏👏👏👏👏
There isn’t anything this man can’t do. I just love him.
😄
make me laugh
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 like him. He is a nut bag.
You like nutbags, huh, asl?
Shut up, Cupavi, you Ballchinian!
Vanessa Worrell he's canadian what do you expect
LoL
ya
The commitment to breaking the mug! I salute you sir. Thank you.
Jim Carrey is part of that very small pantheon of utterly unique comedians who completely take over a talk show because they 100% commit to whatever crazy shit they're doing. Love him.
Even when he sing he can make me laugh. I love this man
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.
So happy I’m on earth at the same time as Jim, Robin, Eddie and more genuinely hilarious humans
Only Morten Harket can do it perfectly, without effort!
YESS!
Absolutely!
Lucyinthesky he is good but he still need effort
Aha
Lucyinthesky yep
jokes aside, that was just amazing !! Jim is the best
The guy is a entertaining genius , his singing would put 95% of the modern singing celebrities to shame .
modern ...... singing ...... celebrities ???? WTF? No such thing.
@@len9483 Absolutely spot on .
He recovered from that voice crack with that perfect sustained note so fast that I didn't even have time to hate on it. He's grown too powerful.
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!!!!
He's definitly one of the greatest !

Wonder if Morten got to see this? I'd love to hear his reaction to Jim Carey singing his hit song "Take On Me"🤗
1:11..he started to believe
:D
Крутой мужик. Дай ему Бог здоровья !
И прежде всего - психического
Легендар!
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
Um grande ator admirável aqui no Brasil, nobody is like Jim Carrey.
He will NEVER come to brazil
@@DendyJungle kkk sabe interpretar texto? Se souber não preciso explicar.
Nobody is like me !
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
I catch myself returning to this video every once in a while, love this version of song! He killed it!
That last note was spot on 😂 I was surprised lol
Ever since in living color , I always admired and loved Jim's singing.
Carrey has a really great singing voice , he just pulled off one of my very favorite 80s song!
Jim Carey is a legit vocalist. His singing in Yes Man was quite enjoyable.
I've no idea how this came into my suggested viewing today but I am happy it did - that was joyful!
I like how he just knows the lyrics. As if every celebrity can just randomly sing any song on the spot
I’m sure this was a written sketch and he knew he’d be singing it. Plus they would have needed to pay for the rights to use it.
He knows it because we lived that song in the 80s, whipper snapper
No, it was scripted like most things on talk shows.
@@ethanpayton6705 you really think so??
I can't even tell what I'm feeling right now. This man is a genius. I'm from Norway.
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.🙏🎬
His singing is the cake... breaking that mug planned or not, is the cherry on top adding another extra 10 minutes of me laughing. Jim Carey is a legend.
очень достойно спел!Неожиданно.Спасибо,Джим
Заткнись, ладно? Просто заткнись!
