The year was 1985....the music genre was synth-pop.....the video animation technique was called rotoscoping....and the tremendous lead singer was Morten Harket!.....with all that combined, this song and video never gets old!

[@susandavis8505]

This video was the first of its kind. I still remember watching it on MTV, back in the day!! Back when MTV actually played music videos!! Love y'alls reaction, as always!! 😁 Thanks!!!

This video and song was in the 1980’s baby and this was a incredible video with the type of technology to make music videos went back in the 1980s

[@a.p.1470]

Not early 90's - not late 80's - The Song was written by the guys from a-ha in 1982 and called "Lesson One", then another Version "All's well that ends well and moves with the sun" and comes from the Band Bridges, Magne Furholmen (Keyboarder & the writer of the original Song) and Per Waaktaar-Savoy (Guitar) are member of this band. After Morten Harket (Voice) joined them the name changed to "The Poem" and shortly after, all in 1982 to "a-ha". Then in Januar 1983 the band goes from Norway to London, England and signed with WEA Records. In early 1984 the first single "take on me" comes out. This was another Version of the song you heard and they only sold 300 pieces. Only at the third attempt, another single was released in the meantime, and with the video made up of comics and real film, which was then also shown on heavy rotation on MTV, there was worldwide success. Fun fact: the girl in the video, Bunty Bailey, later became Morton Harket's girlfriend in real life as well. Greetings from Germany, i always enjoy you when you enjoy good music and sorry for my bad english.

[@tammypearson989]

Alrighty then!

[@shoujahatsumetsu]

A-ha also made the title song for the 1987 James Bond movie The Living Daylights

Timothy Dalton was the best Bond!!!!!🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😎

[@tammypearson989]

That video was the first of its kind, when it came out, back when MTV actually played video’s! It was mid-80’s because I was still in HighSchool, class of 87!

[@joannetyndall3625]

Class of 87 here too 👏

[@SillyUncleAndy]

It was mid 80s, and i was about 10 and I used to love being at the roller disco in town and when this came on I was out there immediately doing backwards speed skating like mad 😂 really made me feel energetic and hyper lol

[@gregoryrivera3940]

You never knew they sang this!? I guess, you could call it your....A-Ha moment! 😀

[@glassshrimp6161]

There’s a slow version of this song in Deadpool 2 that is really beautiful

[@ionaford1248]

The acoustic version is the best imo. Hits you right in the feelings.

[@rongolder4597]

Love this song. Glad y'all doing this reaction!

[@josephtingley654]

And yes definitely one of my all-time favorite 1980s songs and I was born in 1979 so you’re up in the 1980s and always love it when I can take a trip back down my childhood memory lane

The sun always shines on tv is another great one by Aha. As well as Living Daylights which is from the James Bond movie of the same name

[@davidbalon8012]

When I went to the rock and roll hall of fame, this was on a TV playing on a loop. Biggies big ass coat was in the hall also.

[@markwebster7435]

so many great a-ha songs for you guys to discover.

[@xoxxobob61]

The "Technology" used to make the Video is called "Rotoscoping" and it wasn't new since the technique dates back to the 1890's and was used to make the first Silent movies. What is incredible is that every frame you see in the video had to be hand drawn from a film to create that effect. Now Computers do all of these Graphics. By the way A-Ha has 2 other videos that use this technique "Train of Thought" & " The Sun Always Shines on TV" so go check them out too!

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Hey guys, Good Vibes, One of the most creative videos of the mid 80's...Love it, Thanks, Blessings of Peace

[@conquestmomma]

This has always been one of my favorite songs & the video is timeless!! Y'all are so fun to watch react to the classic rock of my youth!

[@XxCaliber]

The 80’s were such a happy wonderful time. Short shorts, long stripped socks, banana seat bicycles, feather mullets, turtle necks, trick or treat after dark. Man do i miss those days. Brings back a lot of good memories!

[@sean4339]

Thanks for your reaction cool Half and Jai 😎😎

[@misterprickly]

I love how many people think this is a digital effect when it's an old school form of animation called *rotoscope*. It's what gave Betty Boop, Popeye and even Superman more realistic movements, while still retaining their plasticity.

[@goddesssamantha8405]

I danced right along with y'all. This is literally one song that no matter how down you feel, you put it on and can't help but snap your fingers, bob your head, and sang along! Thank you for this!!! If you're doing flashbacks, White Snake... any of their songs have the same feel!

This was my baby girls favorite song ....she was about 2 or 3 when this came out....lol...ohhhh the memories of her dancing in the kitchen to this!!!! Damn i am feeling my 60 some years!!! Lol...love you 2 have a blessed day!!💕🦋

[@doomhunter697]

The graphic effect is call rotoscoping. The technique goes back to the 1880s!(Not a typo). It is basically tracing over each frame of a film. According to Wiki..."Approximately 3,000 frames were rotoscoped, which took 16 weeks to complete."

[@Manders13]

So glad you commented this! This video holds up so well because of its creativity and using rotoscoping, IMO. It sucks me in every time!

[@doomhunter697]

@@Manders13 Did you notice the end with the part that was like the movie Altered States? Where he is bouncing from wall to wall fighting to be come 'real'?

@Half And Jai Hello, ah-a is a Norwegian band. (I'm French) I remember first time I've seen this video ...Wow, all was so new inside for our young eyes! And this synths was so fire! One of the most striking video-clip of this sweet times. :)

Way too cool. We did a rock cover of this song in the late 90s when I was in high school. And now, this was the first song my daughter and I did together on her keyboard and my drum set 🤘🤟

Weezer did a killer cover of this song. They used the kid from Stranger Things and his band to record it. I always wanted someone to react to the original version of a song and then the cover back to back. My favorite cover of all time is probably Across the Universe - David Bowie as originally performed by The Beatles. But this is one of the greatest music videos ever. Such an inspiration.
