“Take on Me” by a-ha
And if you need to refresh your memory, here’s the original Take on Me video from a-ha. If you ask me (and I know you didn’t ask), a-ha is one of the most underrated bands of the last 40 years. Indeed, they created so many great songs that just didn’t get the airplay they deserved. “The Sun Always Shines on TV”? “I’ve Been Losing You”? I love those songs. I digress, here is Take on Me.
