The Blanks - Take On Me (Official Video and A-ha cover)

New Single! Available now on iTunes, Amazon and all other digital stores and streaming sites. iTunes link here: itunes.apple.com/us/album/tak....
HEY HEY everybody, here's our cover of the 80's pop hit "Take On Me," by A-ha with a video from footage we filmed in Edinburgh, Scotland. Sam did a version of this song on Cougar Town (appearing as his Scrubs' character, "Ted Buckland") and we liked it enough to give it a try. Speaking of Cougar Town we all appeared on another episode as the complete "Ted's Band" or "The Worthless Peons," or our off-screen name, The Blanks (or should that be The Bla-hanks?). We hope you like it! Feel free to pass it along to the world via social media shares. We don't mind, we really don't.

What i think every scrubs character would say (as character) J.D.(mind): its always hard to lose someone you know, especially when u were good friends with them, but alot harder when u feel like u didn't spend enough time with them like u should have, im sure everyone here feels the same Karla: hard to believe he's gone you know, he always tried his hardest Turk: I hardly ever talked to the guy but, he was pretty cool Dr.Cox: he probably up there singing like always, probably relaxing while he can Jordan: he was fun to torment, gonna miss him Eliot(don't know if I spelled it right): he was such a great guy, really gonna miss him The todd: goodbye high five? Turk: no Todd Janitor: good man, sweaty and scared but he was a good man Kelso: thanks for everything Ted, u weren't the greatest lawyer but you stuck by regardless and I thank you for that, ill miss you Janitor: good bye Ted, you will be missed and I promise everytime we have a brain trust meeting, we will have it at ur grave cause you always be a permanent member of the brain trust and are irreplaceable Ted's band along with gooch: -singing for him- J.D.(mind): even if someone is gone, there never truly gone, there memories will keep them alive in are hearts, we just gotta make sure to remember the good times and one day we'll all see each other again (out of mind) were all gonna miss you buddy, you can rest now

Even did the meet and greet afterwards and they were so funny (as we knew) and the nicest of people as well. Don't EVER stop. Update: Didn't realise I had commented 6 years ago and I very rarely comment on KZbin... These guys are still unbelievably underrated. RIP Sam. You will always live on and continue to bring joy to many.
