This is, indeed, THE iconic 80s song; can't possibly get more 80s than Take on Me. The video, too, is iconic - glad you got to see it.

Except maybe flock of seagulls "I Ran."

@@matsv201 Maybe if you are British/Commonwealth/European? I mean, I know A-ha is Scandanvian, but that song was everywhere here in the 80s. I don't think I even heard Final Countdown until I became an ex-pat and lived with Brits. That could just be me, though; it's definitely very, very 80s.

Interesting you say the 80s was not the technology age. 80s was THE technology age! Home videos, home computers, early mobile phones, digital music (on CD), portable music on the go, microwave ovens, synth music (like this!). I cannot begin to describe the emotion of being a kid in the 80s. Nobody older than you understood how this stuff worked (and often required you to set up the VCR to record a programme), and yet you were going to get a career in this stuff and not do the job your parents did. So liberating!

[@muleb384]

Yeah, the 80s is when technology was really changing. You saw the bigger advances manifested in consumer products in later years, but the 80s is when they had several breakthroughs in technology and it had just started showing up in consumer electronics like PCs and CD players and VCRs.

It took 2 Artists FOUR MONTHS with 3,000 HAND DRAWINGS to achieve that effect which was unheard of in those times and yet not a mention during the video. Maybe it is 2021 Seen It All Done It All.....lol

I really respect Ah-Ha cause they still do their live songs ALMOST perfectly matching the album style. The lead singer, sometimes, has to strain to reach the highest notes, but the fact that he does so, deserves admiration & respect. :-)

[@mplslawnguy3389]

Music videos were art in the 80's and 90's. People that didn't grow up with the real MTV have no clue how big videos were. This is one of the most original and amazing music videos I can remember.

@@adgato75 wrong. Some of us can be objective. I really do love the 80’s stuff but going back and really listening to bands like Genesis and hearing the progressive and sophisticated stuff of the 70’s and then the pop stuff of the 80’s, you can truly hear the thinness in the music. Fun and catchy - yes but nowhere near the quality of the Peter Gabriel area. Rush’s worst period is the mid 80’s. The Who is the same. The 80’s sound is considered a bit cheesy now. I personally still love it for nostalgia reasons but it does lack depth a lot of the time. Pink Floyd has actively de-eighties their 1987 album because of the dated sound.

another beautiful example of 80's visual effects experimentation and innovation with pencil sketches. Keep in mind, this is all before CGI was a thing. The producers did a nice job of bringing the pages to life using the effects technology available at the time. The band was from Norway, I think and didn't speak english.

I watch a lot of reactions but you two are a pure pleasure to watch. I don't care for some of the songs but I always enjoy your playful reactions to them.

Wow, I actually feel so sorry for Brad. His life seems stuck in video games. Doesn't know about the Shining, can't understand the message in Take On Me of love will over come a lot of issues and problems in your life. You're a smart guy Brad so don't let life cheat you.

And to think that Morten Harket did this tone scale in the live chorus without an auto tune! Humiliating for many "singers" these days.

[@wildershoney2439]

The animation in this video was the 1st of its kind in the 80's, it was so unique and amazingly done!!

[@kevinoriordan7387]

Let me guess, Brad won't understand him singing.

[@frippsfruition]

Brad, without a doubt you nailed it with the halftime beat. Without a doubt one of the key ingredients to this songs awesomeness! Lex's points are always so energetic, great to watch.

Joint Second Best YNWA with Liverpool behind Celtic as can be seen by Celtic v Barcelona when the P A gets turned off midsong and it is just the crowd in the 3 minute video..

I remember hearing this on the radio as a child, definitely a top if not the top song that reminds me of my childhood (born in 1984). Love this song.

[@steveshute3810]

This is one of the top 10 videos of the 80s, and probably one of the top 10 videos of all time. Awesome and iconic!

[@MichaelLesesne]

The lady is a pure joy to see react to these classics. The dude seems like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed in most these videos. 🤣

Best music era 80's

[@larryl1427]

This is the best reaction / assessment couple that I've seen, and their format is the way it should be. I like the way Brad cuts right to the video and remains stoic until he hears the song. I like the way Lex knows right away if she likes it, and reacts accordingly. LOL
