As somebody who grew up in the 80's, it's really heartwarming to see people discover this song and video for the first time.
Back in the day! haha Yeah I love it too. It's odd to think this is 35 years ago and 35 years prior 1985 was 1950 the music in the 40s and early 50s compared to the 80s sounds further apart than music from 85 does today I think primarily because of technology. Synthesis hasn't changed that much from the 80s nor has sampling other than better converters and more sampling time. And many current musicians have a trove of vintage synths as well so they are still being used.
It has a billion views (yes, with B). At the time the video was so over the top...still fun to watch
Agreed. His search for exposure to good music is refreshing. Good kids. 👍
I agree
80s rule❣❣
The 80's was a really special decade for music. It was diverse, fun, and energetic.
You either love it or you hated it. And I fucking love that!
loved the big hair
Absolutely true, and it was the 1990s that took away diversity and the freedom of musical experimentation from the American music market.
Facts. I have a huge list of Aha songs I still listen to now.
@@JimButler1234567890 It sounds like you're more bitter than anything.
You ever see somebody say something so stupid you don't even know how to respond to it?
You’re right the eighties had a unique and defining sound. This is one of the best videos of the decade. Creative graphics coupled with an outstanding song.
yes so creative for the time
One of the best videos of all time, I'd say. Over 1 billion served 😂
Also there's Dire Straits Money For Nothing.
This was basically THE greatest music video of the 80s, and rightfully been voted so multiple times.
ognarw This, like Money for Nothing are absolutely iconic.
man, them european artists were just owning the world musically back in the 80s!
Yup

I remember this video & song being released in late 1985. Every single female I knew melted over the lead singer - Morten Harkett’s - cheekbones. This still takes me back - they’re fantastic live too.
@@qtredhead you watched the video...awesone...35 years
@@jamescreason5403 yeah, I’m old - but still 15 in my mind... 🤣🤣
"Why haven't I heard of these guys?" I love it every time you say it. I listen to those you play out of my comfort zone. You started a movement.
I like when the guy with the short haircut says, "Come on now." Also they like the words: bang. banging. and banger.
@@hooleyqueen In the UA-cam world, bangers are "hot and/or popular".
All the girls in the 80's wanted this dude to bust out of the mirror....lol.... I was waiting for the Doves to Cry (Prince).
Denise Allen-That's so true!If you check out what he looks like these days,he's still a very handsome guy.☺️The dude has aged incredibly well.😉
Yes, he is still very good-looking, but back in the day, he was so beautiful it hurts.
hahaha.... every "girl" when they are a teen has their own idea of who they want to bust out of the mirror... My particular groupies kind of liked the rock bad-boy, leather wearing, with a lot of messy hair. I guess they were more of the Vince Neil, Sebastian Bach, Bret Michaels loving crowd though. And then... we all got old ;-)
i sang this song to my girl i think she still in love with me haha. this is nice
9 6 That's awesome! I'm sure she is!
Even though they were a one hit wonder in the United States, this is one of the most intricately crafted pop songs of all time. It's a pop masterpiece!
Definitely not a one hit wonder. And what about the sun always shines on TV? Top 20 in the states but seems forgotten
@@stevetici2668 I totally agree! They went on to make a great album called Memorial Beach years later in '93. The songs Memorial Beach and Angel in the Snow were standouts on that one. Their sound changed to less synth, more guitar and more mellow, less pop. It seemed like they were influenced by how U2 was sounding then.
There are some great heavy metal covers of the Sun Always Shines on TV that work well. Train of Thought, Blue Sky, Love is Reason and Dream Myself Alive were great songs from their first album as well.
Thanks for defending them! There are plenty of one hit wonders out there, but there are also plenty of great bands that had lots of hits and long careers which are definitely NOT one hit wonders, and are mislabeled.as such. I'm going to put a video on my channel challenging the one-hit wonder status of many bands. What groups outside of a-ha would you suggest? I would nominate Devo (Whip It), and Wall of Voodoo (Mexican Radio), but I know its not just 80's bands.
And they did the James Bond movie THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS song
@The migraine Mile have you ever checked their biography ?? They did MANY albums and songs... still do...
@@stevetici2668 Maybe you misunderstood me. I didn't say that a-ha was a one hit wonder entirely. They were and still are massively popular in Norway and across Europe despite having broken up and reuniting. However, they absolutely were a one hit wonder in the United States. Take On Me stayed in the #1 spot on Billboard for 27 weeks in 1985/86. For over six months, it was the most successfully performing song in the U.S. Only two of their other singles ever entered the top 100 in the United States - Sun Always Shines on TV, reaching #20 in February of 1986 while Take on Me was still tightly grasping the #1 spot, and Cry Wolf, whose highest chart position was #50.
This band has quite an extensive and prolific catalog that, IMO, is largely underappreciated by Americans, which is part of what prompted my initial comment. I think just the fact that Take On Me is so complex and technically difficult is evidence of their skilled musicianship, with its syncopated percussive sections and four octave chorus. Like I said it's a masterpiece! 😀👍
They're from Norway so probably had more hits in Europe at that time than in the U.S.
Manhattan skyline is an absolute amazing song
They're still big in Europe and South America (especially Brazil).
I can totally see this young man as a professor at a major university someday, teaching a music history or music appreciation class. Everybody would want to be in his class.
I am 53 years old, where the hell should i send my application form to be in their class! These two young people are just brilliant!
True
Modern English “I melt with you” and Erasure “A Little respect”
A Little Respect is my 🎸
Human League "Don't you want me" The Outfield "Your Love" Oingo Boingo "Dead Mans Party"
Seconding melt with you
ONG YES! a little respect
@@sewahem9629 I second all your choices.
The video was years ahead of it's time in 1985, especially the "looking glass" scene around the middle of the video.
The effects were done with a process called rotoscoping where each scene was hand drawn frame by frame and according to the "Making of" video on a-ha's channel, it took sixteen weeks to complete.
It blew my mind when it came out. It was cutting edge technology still for big budget films at the time let alone a music video.
Yeah I think for someone who’s in their early 20’s it would hard to understand just how revolutionary this filming animation was. It’s not like today where’s there’s probably an app for that. 😌
Unfortunately hes not watching the video. He's only hearing the song. Would have loved to heard his reactions to the video that arguably is the epitome of 80's music videos
@@roryotoole3279 it appeared he was watching the video
@@watcherwlc53 He never commented on the actual video, the animation, the effects or the story. He only commented on the song itself.
This guy can sing his ass off, in real life he sound as good and he can still hit those notes.
kazzuo The Great he really can - such a voice!
Morten Harket live (I had the privilege twice) is the real deal. He really has the most dynamic vocal range of any male vocalist I've ever heard.
Ooh, you should do Tears for Fears, Everybody Wants to Rule the World.
Banger
Yes!!!!!!
Oh yes and pale shelter and change
Yep.. O was this king the same thing.. one of the best songs ever
Legit! This song is AMAZING!
That 80s sound you're talking about is called "synthesizer" , the 80s were full of a new technology called electronic music, and there's no modern music that doesn't use it to some degree, but you don't notice it because its gotten more realistic.
They used hardware back then, the beats were in a way better and just fatter sounding. You just can't reproduce that in quite the same fashion with a computer!
Yeah nothing hits the same as the real deal but Dancing on my Own sounds like it was released 30 years earlier than it was. I also like The Weeknd's Blinding Lights and True Survivor from the Movie Kung Fury (the whole movie is on UA-cam and a whole ass 80s themed acid trip.
you mean "normalized" not realisitc but agreed
Wait until he learns about Kraftwerk...
@@rafaelflorez6446 Yep!
I LOOOOOVVVVVEEEE that you're doing 80s songs now. Please be sure to include Depeche Mode and the Cure!
53, grew up in the 80's - Flock of Seagulls, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode.....do it!
@Mark and now Depeche Mode are inductees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame !
The cure is good too
AND I RAN
I hear ya, twin, i'm also 53, these younguns have a lot of musical fetching up to do, as we say here in SC ;)
I hear you just saw them a few days ago in New Zealand epic im 52 80s live on
A-ha played a few years back at a concert with a few other 80's bands,and the singer can STILL hit that high note!😃He's aged incredibly well too.😛
I saw them two years ago and he still looks just as good and hit the high notes perfectly
Thats nice to know. I had a BIG crush on him 🥰😍🤣
Spandau Ballet- True. This is one of the best 80s songs you should check out.
Angel A, yesssss!!! My favorite, hands down!! 💁🏻♀️
Angel , if you want to learn something a tad bit creepy, look up what a "Spandau Ballet" was. It will change your image of that name.
Definitely behind this suggestion.
Howie Davis Nah, still a great 80s song.
Gold is another of their slaps
‘back in the day’ ...
ugh i’m officially OLD.
😂
Me too!
Yep,we are.
I hear ya! Those were the days my friend
Wendy P., yup. Last year I found myself yelling at the neighbor’s kids to get off my lawn-and I knew then that my youth had slipped away....lol.❤️
Yes,we are... and i hate it....
You’re absolutely right. The 80’s had a sound. The fact that you can appreciate it for what it was... that’s why so many of us older folks love you!
The 80s were so EPIC. Great music, movies & shows.
Yeah but there was a lot of great stuff in the 60s and 70s too. Lovin' Spoonful song,
"Do You Believe in Magic?" (60s) and also Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons song,
"Oh What a Night- December 1963" but it came out in the late 60s or early 70s.
Such an iconic music video. As an animator myself I'm still fascinated by it. The artist had to draw over every frame of the live video they shot (rotoscoping). I really like when she takes his hand in the beginning and you can she her shadow drawn onto his hand. If you like the song and video there's a 3 party documentary about it here on UA-cam.
a billion views.. likely had a lot to do with the amazing artistry, production, creativity of the video..
When i was a teenager i cried every time i heard this song of how beautiful Morten's voice sounds in this song it gives you CHILLS, i've been in love of a-ha ever since
Have you heard their recent acoustic/ slow-jam version? 40 years on he can still sing
@@rcche3778 yes !! i heard it, it is amazing!!! Morten is a God his voice is just unbelievable
Me too. I wanted to move to Norway because of him.
@@aimeemill3891 i learnt Norway's national anthem because of them 😅
Same
“Hold up... WHO DEEZ PEOPLE?” Dying here bro 💀🤣😂💀
It was such a massive hit back in the day, massive.
Still massive
I remember when this song was released. there was a chart show on TV and they aired this video for the first time (that was before MTV was a thing in Germany) I did not know who the band was, so i went to the record shop the next day and told them that I wanted to get a single but have no idea what the bands name was, I only know the video. The assistant looked at me and said: "Let me guess, it is the video half comic half real life. We had people coming to the shop all day long asking for it." They were sold out that day but i got the album a few days later.
Aww that is so cute and cool!
I love this story 🥰
Life waaaaay before the internet 😂 It’s so easy to forget now what simple things like figuring out a band or song name used to be like.
That is such a cool story! Back when you had to talk to people to figure out stuff.
A-ha - "The Sun Always Shines on TV" is another great song from them..
YES! Came here just to see if someone mentioned it. Such an underrated song in my book
I saw them live in Germany, November 2019. This was my favourite song of the concert (The Sun...).
Tony Smith The Living Daylights might be my favorite song by them
and its actually a continue of this song
And the living daylights
The year was 1984. The sound of my childhood. You are in the presence of greatness - a song doesn't rack up 1 billion views for no reason. Probably the most famous riff ever created. A Norwegian band, so English not even their first language. Morton (lead singer) and Mags (on keyboard), two of the hottest men in popular music. They both STILL look amazing. The band is touring this year! The very lucky British girl in this video ended up dating Morton for several years afterwards.
Pen Name - ah, I’d say Europes Final Countdown takes the top spot in the Famous keyboard riffs. This is definitely the first runner up though!
Although, this could be national bias. Europe is Swedish, and so am I. 😆
If you talk about A-HA. Then their name is Morten, Magne and Pål. The letter å (in Pål) is pronounced the same way as o in LOndon .... and also the same as the o in Morten.
So here å=o.
Magne has the same pronunciation as in magne(tic). My name is also Magne - but don't call me Mags.
Try “People are People,” by Depeche Mode.
Anything depeche mode in my opinion
Omg yes!!
Try Depeche. Mode in general ....And even know where to begin but I would go from some great reward and keep going… and never stop....I imagine that they would probably do you some thing from the beginning of their career but honestly they evolved in so many ways during their latter work, that would be my recommendation
Precious from depeche mode!
This song literally changed my life when I first heard it (in ‘84?). Seriously life changing. 💜💜💜
I like when you go: "Heeeeyyy hold on people! Why haven't I heard it befoooore?" lmao
I haven't been binging your videos for the last hour at all... Heh heh heh
You gotta listen to billy idol dancing with my self or cradle of love or white wedding!!!
I love all of those! Billy Idol is awesome.
Sonia Ross he’s one of a kind! Love him!
Billy idol is awesome be a good one.
My guy said older stuff! 😂 Wow, I really feel old now! 💯 Yeah, the 80s definitely had a defining sound! Now that I look back, I can see that! 😂
Yeah being a 80s kid myself those chords just gives me warm feeling 😊
Time flies
i feel like the best music was in the 70-90's
Lol, 1980 was 40 years ago. It IS old stuff. (I'm a child of the 80's btw)
Take a number on feeling old lmao
One of the best music videos ever made. Great use of the rotoscoping technique.
I want you to listen to Duran Duran-Rio, Hungry LIke the Wolf, Reflex, New Moon on Monday, New Religion......way too many to choose! And save a prayer. And Wham-“wake me up before you go go”.
Anita Kawaja Rio great album New Religion is a fav
Wham, lol. First pop rock band to tour China, because of the 'wholesome' image they presented in Wake Me Up before You Go-Go. (lololol ). Took almost two years of negotiations with the Chinese government. I'm guessing the government regretted opening up China to western culture four years later (Tienanmen Square, 1989).
Agreee!!!
I agree!!!
Wham ruled the 80s
A-Ha have LOADS of brilliant music, (plus they're all incredibly easy on the eye and Morten just. Does. Not. Age!) you should check out some of their other work. Especially Summer Moved On, in which he achieved a record by holding a note for 20.2 seconds.
You're not wrong about their looks. The blue version of this song from a year earlier has Morten in ripped jeans looking just gorgeous.
Thanks to your comment I was curious so looked him up and found the somewhat recent unplugged version of this song… you’re right he doesn’t age! He might even be more handsome!
That video concept was truly groundbreaking, paired with a timeless classic it will forever be legendary.
Yes definitely a classic from the 80s and they still perform to this day
Yes true, went to see them back in 2016 and they played Take on me and The Sun always shines on TV , plus The living daylights :)
This song came out when I was 14 or 15. Danced to this all the time when it came on MTV. That was back when they still played music videos.
Ahhh....MTV when it meant something 🎶🎵🎼🕶
Back when MTV actually played music!! It really was good times, sigh.
A-ha is our biggest and most successful band ever, here in Norway, that also made it really big internationally. And they were HUGE at the time. I was ALL in to them back then. It was freally fun hearing this song again. Takes me straight back to 1985 ( I believe that was the year they came out with this song,If I remember correctly...) Made me feel like a kid again, listening to it now.... Cool! ; )
Omgosh...... GOLDEN EARRING, “When the bullet hits the bone”... you won’t be able to stop moving!!!
The song title is Twilight Zone.
Try Thomas Dolby "She Blinded Me With Science." I think you will dig it!
That’s Morten Harket
He’s aged beautifully.
Of course, look what he had going with that DNA.
You haven't heard of them because you are not a child of the 80's. In other words, you're not getting old like me. LOL
This was cutting edge tech back in the day. It was super cool to see this video on Friday Night Videos when I was young. This was before MTV was available to me, btw.
#FACTS and you took me BACK on that Friday Night Videos comment
night flight... hells yes!
YASSS!! OH man! I'm feeling old. Lol
u Talkin The Midnight Special...Friday Nights Wolfman Jack Member Him...YA Saturday Mornin was American Bandstand with Dick Clark HAHAHA u takin me Back Brotha.
+Justin Smyth Take heed in the fact it's more likely just a cultural thing. I'm a 1990 baby and I guarantee most people from my age to even up to 2000 babies have probably heard this song and probably know the name of the band. It's just leaning more on the white racial demographic. That's why I like youtube, all the different cultures and races experiencing each other's music. You're still a young thing Justin Smyth, don't worry about it. We all feel old at some points, that's all it is
"80's owned sound" What a brilliant way of putting it. I totally agree!
Tim: “I just love the 80s vibe…80s was a good era back in the day, I know it had to be.”
52-year-old me: “Yeah. Pretty much.”
Ahhhhhh the memories ... the 80’s were the best era 🥰
:(
Swords Chant lol awww 😊
The video was SO far ahead of its time. One of my favorite songs of the 80's and still best videos of all time. Keep up the awesome reactions.
React to Soft Cell’s Tainted Love from the 80’s
Do the version where it is blended with 'Where did our love Go'?' - Original is great, though this one is even better.
Yes yes, i was thinking tainted love yesterday 😁😁
80s and 90s yeahhhhhhhh, i am 58 (25 in the head these days) lol, neverrrrrrr grow old
Tainted Love was my jam!
Yesssss i been singing that in the last week, surprising how u remember the lyrics after 35 yrs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for your reaction to the song! Morten Harket, the lead singer of A-Ha holds two records among male singers, a vocal range up to five octaves and singing one single note for 20,2 seconds (in the song called "Summer Moved On"). You'll be surprised, but the band still exists and has released a lot of albums, like a number of other iconic performers whose roots were back in the 80's...
I recommend you listen to “Shout”, by Tears for Fears. It’s A great 80s song. You all bring such joy! I am a nurse and after working a long shift it’s nice to see your videos that put a smile on my face:)
That's one of my least favorites by them
I grew up during the 1980's and this was really big back then. I still love 80's music
I heard this song has gotten at least a billion hits. Can you believe how creative this video was since it came out in the mid 80's. So when you got a song with great vocals, a nice beat and ahead of its time graphics, you got a winner. It reached number one on Billboards top 100 chart back in 1985.
I have a CD title: Millennnium, 80s New Wave Party, which has this song on it.
It also has "Come on Eileen" by Dexie's Midnight Runners, an Irish band. The video was filmed in Ireland on the street. It is one of my all time fave videos.
@@hooleyqueen It was also a favorite of mine along with BIG COUNTRY and TALK. TALK.
Arhhh, Morton Harkett, my heartthrob when I was 12 yrs old in 1986. This song gives me so many nostalgic memories, thanks dude, awesome!
If you talk about A-HA (from my home city - Oslo).... Then the name is Morten Harket.
I am pretty sure I had a pinup from Bop Magazine of him on my wall in 6th Grade.
It's like I could be your mother/grandmother and we're listening to all of my music together!
One of my all time favourite songs. They are still together and making amazing music. Lead vocals are still beautiful.
Check out "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners.
This song slaps
That would be fun, with the rolled up farmer pants, right?
Derek fun song and video.
Yes!
Yes!! And, I Would Walk 500 Miles by the Proclaimers, which I always associate with Come On Eileen, for some reason
m.ua-cam.com/video/otXGqU4LBEI/v-deo.html
The Sun Always Shines On TV
Definitely.
I always said that was "Part 2" of the video
your dance while the end credits was rolling took me STRAIGHT OUT lol
🤣🤣
I can remember being a little tiny kid and dancing like crazy around the house. Still do!
All that was hand drawn, btw. Didn't have photo shop.
Such a awesome video!
This is why the 80’s is the BEST decade of music and this Video was Showing what the possibilities of video could do. I think this was one of MTV most played videos back then
The 80's was the best! My ten year old self thought this was the coolest, and all us girls had a crush on him.
We had so much great music in the 80s and no one told us we had to stick with one type of music. We listened to it all!!!
@Plano...we were blessed growing up in the 80's with so much good music from every genre.
I love this video!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The song is great and the video drawing, artwork and romantic story is even better! Don't close your eyes!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I only learned recently that this band had a Bond song. And they still play.
I've loved this song since it came out...MTV!
he never mentioned the amazing video - one of the greatest of all time
Have you ever seen the sequel video? It’s called “The Sun Always Shines on TV”
I'm an old guy pushing 60 and I love..LOVE..watching reaction videos to music that was all the thing in MY life back in the 80's. Seeing younger generations watch and GET the music is just.....effing fun. :) Glad you liked it....when it first premiered, we sure as hell liked it too! Thanks for the reaction!
Back in the 80's we had our parents telling us that 'modern music' was crap compared to the music that they had growing up
True that! Either the music wasnt as good or else they were part of satanic panic overreaction that had them convinced spinning a recods backwards was actually the devil talking. Not to mention the idiocy of Tipper Gore with her war on music. Crazy times.
@@cincocats320 yeah, I remember when Al was running for president and they tried to build her up as a "rock n roll mom", lol! What a joke that was, considering all her PMRC stuff back in the 80s. I remembered, so it was quite insulting for her to be spun like that.
Yes, because starting in the 70s keyboards had synthesizers and suddenly many "musicians" could not even play instruments anymore. All the female vocalists began to sound alike and I did not like most of them. but a major exception was Linda Rondstadt who burst to fame in the 70s. She is still one of my Fave singers.
The first album I ever bought was 'Hunting High and Low', which this is from.
The best album!!
I randomly found a casette copy of that album when I was young and on like a trek with my class. It was just laying there on a stump. It is... just great. He can sing!
Listen to heart of glass from blondie..awesome song
When someone refers to the 80s as “back in the day” sigh.....
Dance clubs and poppers. Those were the days.
Yep. I felt old as dirt when he said that. Hearing my teen years referred to as "back in the day"... Ouch, man. Ouch! :)
I literally just thought to myself that the 80s was 20 years ago and then I realized it ain't the 2000s no more, wtf 😂😭
I grew up in the 80s and say it myself lol
Yep...
This video swept the MTV video awards the year it came out. Unprecedented times for music animation. My first year in high school & even my parents loved it! Last scene is homage to the sci-fi film Altered States
Listen to their unplugged session of this... It's beautiful and they all still have it
I like your channel I grew up in the 80s and it had the best music feel good music I like to see the younger generation appreciate the old school music my son is 19 and he loves the 80s music he listens to it more than the music nowadays keep listening you will love it all try simple minds dont forget about me classic 80s
Love him doing the sprinkler. Lol
This reminds me of Yearbook class in high school. I played this song when I was developing photos in the dark room. Great memories!
I suggest you listen to "Everybody wants to rule the world" by Tears for Fears
Do the Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town."
Older brother had this one and played it all the time. It has stuck with me over the years.
That is one beautiful tune
Yo .. def do more eighties. Gotta do... Duran Duran ... hungry like the wolf
Wild Boys!
Girls on Film or Rio
Yes !!! This
Yes he does I moved to America when this came out definitely a soundtrack to my life.
Loved Duran Duran - pop, but with a moody edge. Pure pop is too much sugar for me.
This was a great group from my generation (graduated 1985) they were sooo popular then. They came from Norway
Alphaville: Forever Young, Scorpions: Wind of Change, Tanita Tikaram: Twist in my Sobriety, Alannah Myles: Black Velvet, Sam Brown: Stop, Billy Idol: Sweet Sixteen, Paul McCartney-Michael Jackson: Say Say Say, Marillion: Kayleigh, Roxy Music: "Jealous Guy" were also big hits back then.
Say Say Say!! I totally forgot about that song. Absolutely I vote for this!
Please review “Running up that hill” by Kate Bush.
I’m 17, I listen to 80s 70s 60s and even 50s. Hearing these all kinds of bands and then listening to my generations crap music, I wish I was around then 😂😂😂😂😂
Once again, back when musicians wrote originalsongs, played their own instruments and didn't have autotune.
Yes, 80s my friend.
One of my favorites! It's a great song but there's also an excellent story on the video that you watched. It's kinda hard to follow but by the end of the music video, you'll get it. You should re-watch the video bro and watch the story behind the video. You'll like it.
The graphics in this video were groundbreaking and something us oldies back in the 80s, never saw before. This was extremely high tech. I remember coming home from school and watching it on MTV. Everybody was talking about at school lol.......... good times, great memories.
This song is an 80s icon. How can you just now be hearing it 30something years later??
Because they are only 21 and they listened to nothing but rap. I think their parents did not listen to Pop or Rock. They do not even know Black music from the 80s, and nothing about the 70s or before, and this is not as unusual as you think. The only reason my kids know a lot of this music is because I played music all the time from different eras and genres. Think about it, how much music do you know that was popular before you were born? Buddy Holly and Little Richie Valens died when I was just a little girl (mid 50s) and I did not start listening to them until decades later.
@@hooleyqueen I grew up listening to 50s and 60s lol. I was the only kid in 3rd grade listening to 80s music (in the early 90s). I guess thats why I'm shocked...
I'm absolutely in love with how open minded you and your brother are. You can learn and feel so much from music. Love your reaction videos! Especially to older music. I grew up on 70s-90s so a lot of your reactions to classics make me extremely happy to see a new generation have such appreciation for them.
Sun always shines was their follow on hit! They still tour now and are utterly amazing live! Thank god for the 80s and a-ha they are the sound track of my life!
I was weak when the beat came back at the end buddy couldnt even help but dance lmaooo
Recomending:
Heart - Alone
Roxette - Listen to your heart
Any Heart song, really
They did Barracuda
Still really want Crazy On You!
@@viviannichols3582 Little Queen
Alone..... BRILLIANT
Another one that makes me love your appreciation even more! x
This is the first video that played on MTV. So refreshing that your listening to this piece of history. I'm a black late 40's female and I absolutely loved this video and this song. #Ilovestrangerthings
This is probably the greatest music video ever made, and will probably continue to be so for the next 50 years!
Been a mad fan of A-ha since I was a child, still have a mad crush on Morten Harkett. All there songs are amazing. You should try Sun always shines on TV or Cry Wolf.
If you like Aha, you have to do Tears for Fears - but do Shout, not Everybody wants to Rule the World.
both are good
Everyone always forgets about Head over Heels. Lol
@@dianewilmot581 I don't! The film clip was set in a library...and I'm a librarian! 😉
Emma Bruty - Nice!!
Yes... Shout is better by far.
I'd love to I'd love to see you do a reaction of the Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This'. Pretty hot.
They did this one. I Just watched it, thumb through their library
Here Comes The Rain Again is a better song than Sweet Dreams.
they just did and Annie Lennox loved it
This is what was once called a "One Hit Wonder: A group that produced one good song, but filled an entire CD full of songs that you never heard on the radio." There were several of these in the 80s. "Come On Eileen" was one of the most popular of these songs. - BTW, I've really enjoyed re-listening to these songs with your honest/respectful reactions. Thanks!
It’s also wild that they did all that animation in that video BY HAND! This song is lighting in and out of the bottle!
Todd Rundgren "HELLO ITS ME"
A great one from the 70's
The video was groundbreaking at the time & really pushed the song into orbit!
Check out: People r People by Depeche Mode
Have you listened to anything from "The Cars"? "Just What I Needed" or "Drive"
I'm an 80s child and all this music brings back great memories. Love seeing you experience it for the first time.
Norwegian here, and love that you reacted to it! It’s one of our “national treasures”🙂
