Monday Music : Take On Me

Incidentally, he looks like the younger brother of my Lao Shi, a spitting image actually. Sorry I couldn't post his picture here. I'll get a good whack on the head if I do that. "Take On Me" is actually the only song of A-ha that I know of. My bad! I guess it's time for me to review their other songs hehehe. They say that what really catapulted this song to become famous is the MTV. I couldn't remember much from the MTV so I did a bit of digging at You Tube. The only thing I remember is that part where the cartoon version of Morten Harket is running along a narrow corridor with this girl. I couldn't help but smile at the hairdo and the high waist jeans. Okay, I was actually laughing. Couldn't believe that those styles were hip during those times. I wouldn't be caught dead sporting that look hahaha! But I really love the instrumentation in this song that I even made it a ring tone on my phone some years ago when phones only had monotones. Yeah, yeah, I know...baduy. I admit that hahaha! But it definitely catches my attention when someone calls me. I tried singing this song too. I could carry the tune until that final note where my voice splits in various places lol! I just couldn't hit the last high note the way Morten can. I might have a better future trying it on instruments instead of belting it out. So anyway, here's the MTV I was talking about.
