Smooth Operator's 80's Song Of The Week 1-02-07

by Mark on 1/2/2007 (0)

This weeks 80's song is "Take on Me", a song by the Norwegian band A-ha. The song is a track from A-ha's first album, Hunting High and Low, released in 1985. The music video for the song first aired in 1985 on local Boston music video station V66, and then subsequently on MTV. The innovative video was an amalgamation of rotoscope-style animation and live-action. The video was inspired by the animated film "Commuter" created by Michael Patterson and the movie Altered States. How many single 80's guys vowed to find a soft, accessible blonde similar to the one in the video cannot be calculated, and neither can how many actually did, or are still trying to. Ahh-ha, the 80's!

Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for you love O.K.

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two

So needless to say I'm odds and ends
But that's me, stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is O.K.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry.

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two.

The things that you say
Is it live or just to play
My worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two
