A-Ha is a Norwegian synth-pop band formed in Oslo in 1982. They have so many beautiful songs that is difficult to choose one, but you can try "Hunting high and low" and "Scoundrel days". The band were listed in the Guinness World Records book for having the biggest-paying rock concert attendance; they drew an audience of 198,000 at Maracanã Stadium during Rock in Rio festival in 1992.

I try not to watch The Sun Always Shines On TV... I hate a sad ending.

Originally from Oslo Norway, Morten (vocals) Magne (keyboards) & Paul (spelled Pål in Norwegian, is the guitarist) released this track 35 years ago and if Covid hadn’t hit us I would be off to see them in a couple of weeks doing the entire Hunting High and Low album with a full orchestra for the final time ..... love love love this band. You need to react to the following: Hunting High and Low Manhattan Skyline Cry Wolf Lifelines Scoundrel Days Velvet Stay On These Roads Touchy Summer Moved On Also the unplugged version of Take on Me is just magical !!! Some of the nicest guys I’ve met too.. always chatty and friendly that also allows me to practise my Norwegian too ... heheeheh x

Don't forget that when this video came out in 1980-whenever that no one had ever seen anything like that; with the mixing of comic/cartoon and real life footage. Who Framed Roger Rabbit was probably the next similar thing to be released, several years later.

Bringing back the 80’ New Wave music,Sweet 😎🎼👍🏼

You need to watch the video back again to realise just how groundbreaking it was for the time. The group are from Norway and had quite a few hits. Morten Harket the lead singer still has a great voice and is a judge on Norways version of 'The Voice' another good one is 'The Sun Always Shines on TV'

One of the pop lynchpins of the 1980s. My brother actually bought me the album for my 13th birthday (which I had to, you know, hide, because it was considered a bit 'girly') and I was pretty obsessed with it. Morten Harket's infamous high-register on this was beyond me even then - and I think he can still do it...

Take On Me is one of the best videos ever. They shot the video in live action and then had two artists do over 10,000 sketches of frames from the video. It took them three months working full time just to do the drawings.

hahahaha, I love how you're trying to sing the high notes. we've all been there. we've all failed. we've still all tried again. :D

Oh WOW! Such an awesome song and this video was a staple in Mtv's heyday! Trust me! ALL us girls loved this guy! 😁😍💋

80s ' the age of MTV and music videos. Hanging with friends and skipping class to watch vidieos. I have some fond memories of that decade.

The beautiful Morten Harket - we were all smitten back in the day.

That's a classic 80's song right there.😍

The best video of the 80's!

Amazing band, Morten had and still has a set of vocal cords on him! "Manhatten Skyline" is my favourite from them, well worth checking out, as is "Hunting high and low", "Crying in the rain" "Cry wolf" and "Stay on these roads" - they have so many great tunes!

U going back in time love how u are discovering these classics.. don't worry about what u gotta do too the vids to get them unblocked, all good we understand & are with you on this ride to 1million subs

This was one of those early day ones where the video was really good and the song was great. They got signed on the spot after record company executives heard them once. The singer couldn’t handle the instant pressure of instant, and I mean HUGE success. So that was that. I think They’re Norwegian.

I can’t believe I’m at work and have to wait until I get home to watch this!!!😭

He had a good range man! Easy on the eye too. Loving your song choices at the moment from a fellow shoulder dancer! When them shoulders go you know I’m gonna blow!! 💃💃

I remember when this came out on MTV. Instantly fell in love!

I mentioned Holding Back the Years by Simply Red the other day as an 80s essential, but you also can't do without Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners and Melt With You by Modern English. Also, the recent live acoustic version of this song is fantastic and worth a watch.

One of the greatest videos of all time! And a great song! Loved being a teen in the 80's!

The song and video hit it huge on MTV, I was there glued to my tv seeing it with everyone else for the first time. Please please listen to a couple of their not so huge songs, they were worthy of being hits too...but fans can be fickle. Hunting High And Low...and...Sun Always Shines On TV. Both were very nice tunes, and the video for Sun Always Shines On TV shows you how the first video ended...

I'm happy because some Norwegian music is represented on this youtube channel. For those who do not know it Ah-A is Norwegian band.🇧🇻

This song acoustic unplugged. Wow!!!!! And Mr. video....you crack me up🤣🤣🤣

This video was considered cutting edge... For the 80's it was... Great reaction...!!!

You are on fire tonight Mr Video! 3 bangers - Wham, GnR AND A-ha! You're.spoiling us. 3 of my favs too, you really cheered my day up with this. The lead singer of A-ha is Morten Harket. I've only seen Morten perform live twice but he's a phenomenal vocalist. A-ha are from Norway btw.

A-ha were an 80s band from Norway who had a huge hit with this song. They still tour today. Maybe rewatch the video because it's probably one of the best music videos ever made. Other great songs by the group: The Sun Always Shines on TV The Living Daylights - this song was the theme to the Bond movie of the same name

Hunting high and low is my favourite aha song its haunting and incredible 😊

I can sing those high notes. But I'm a girl. The version they did for MTV Norway's Unplugged in 2017 showed me that this song makes more sense than I thought. Morten Harket was still able to hit the notes-and ladies! He was still extremely handsome!

You did so awesome with this!! It’s an 80’s genre that not many are aware of. You dig it, you get it!! NICE!! These guys skate!!
