Original Take On Me & a new a-ha song!

Their new song is the title track from their 9th album Foot Of The Mountain. I absolutely love it! Although there's really never been an a-ha song that I didn't like.

You can buy the new album here.

And check out the video for Foot Of The Mountain...



In honor of the new a-ha song and album, I thought I'd also post the original version of their biggest hit.

Originally, it was called Lesson One when the demo was recorded in 1983.

For its release version in 1984, the song morphed into Take On Me and bombed (it's rumored only 300 copies sold). I guess the world just wasn't ready for the greatest song on the planet at that point.

A year later, it was remixed and given an awesome video - it then became a giant hit.

Here's the original version (in its Take On Me incarnation) with its original video. It's still a great song, even at this early stage...
