*******************
The a-ha channel is the official UA-cam home of the Norwegian Pop trio a-ha, who achieved global stardom in 1985 when their debut single, “Take On Me” from the album ‘Hunting High And Low’ topped the charts in 36 different countries on its way to becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time, and the 5th most streamed song of the 20th century. a-ha struck chart gold again with “The Sun Always Shines On T.V.” and “Cry Wolf,” and recorded the theme to the 1987 James Bond film “The Living Daylights”. The a-ha UA-cam channel is proud to host the music videos from these hits alongside live performance videos, lyric videos, and the solo work of band members Morten Harket (lead vocals), Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (Guitar), and Magne Furuholmen (Keyboards).

Don’t worry guys, the 80’s will be back in 60 years.
Unfortunately not the 80's we all know and love. A different 80's, maybe better, maybe worse.

Actually the lyrics are about stealing coffee if you play the song half speed.

I would pay good money to watch a movie in this art style.
Look up a-ha's Train of Thought. That uses footage from a video called Commuter that the same people made before they did Take on Me.
It’s not the same but I feel like Ghibli's the Tale of Princess Kaguya is similar

Why? They shouldn't do it.
Maybe so much comments for UA-cam
@Jaden LaFrance yes sadly
A the moment this song was created, things were easier. Now all those comments had to be stocked in servers... So maybe was that ecological ?
No se si alguien vaya a leer esto pero solo quiero decir que estas canciones me hacen recordar momentos cuando estaba más pequeña y no tenía pensamientos de el tipo de pensamiento que tengo ahora, preocupada por mi futuro, y por si las cosas que deseo si podrán ser realidad, mis metas, sueños, y logros que quiero que mi mamá y mi familia se sientan orgullosos. Estos tres últimos años han sido muy locos y aún solo tengo 17 años siento mucho angustia y al mismo tiempo deseo por lograr tantas cosas, ayudar, aportar en algo. Y siento que no estoy dando mi máximo, quisiera dar más y demostrar que puedo más. Y en un país que siento que por momentos me tiene atada y al mismo tiempo siento libertad pero simplemente no se que será de mi en un par de años. Mi vida solitaria y al mismo tiempo llena de ruidos y personas, y la mayoría personas que nunca e cruzado palabras y desconocidas para mí. Ruidos que me inundan la cabeza y por momentos siento que no me dejan pensar, viendo como muchas personas arruinan sus vidas con vicios y malas decisiones, como casi nadie se preocupa por su futuro, o al menos eso noto yo, quizás esté equivocada y muchos solo aparentan cosas que no sienten. Estos son los pensamientos que pasan por la mente de un humano como cualquier otro dentro de este mundo lleno de humanos 🪵

"One billion views": That means millions and millions and millions and millions...
@@King-hs9zc ua-cam.com/video/cYdxKllJ4Rs/v-deo.html
In English speaking countries, one billion is one thousand millions. In other words: a "1" followed by nine zeroes (1,000,000,000). In the rest of the world, one billion is one million millions. In other words, a "1" followed by 12 zeroes (1,000,000,000,000).
@@CBTman99 I think what he meant was the addition of 1 million, thousand times, which also equal thousand times a million. Btw it is a stereotype for you to say that only English speaking countries know of this, you might never know, some uneducated Americans or even Britians do not know of this...I do not wish for this to be an argument, but let this sit in your mind
KKKKKK berro
@@johealantonio2k, it seems to me that you are assuming to know what he meant and also what I meant. Please re-read my post. It was not my intention to offend anyone. I only stated the fact that in the US, we write "1,000,000,000" and we read "one billion" (this is also true in the United Kingdom). In South America, where I am from, we write "1,000,000,000" and we read "one thousand million". There is nothing wrong with either way, as long as everyone understands the difference. As we say in the US, "tomayto, tomahto". Who really cares? Stay healthy!
