This music video is so cool. The use of drawings in the video makes the video seem so special.

There's no denying: it's a classic

This is a short film under 4 minutes by IMDb definition, but actually it is the music video "Take on Me" by the Norwegian band" A-Ha as the title already says. I am sure that everybody above the age of 15 has probably heard it at least once and I must say I really enjoyed to listen to the song again after it's been probably a year since I heard it the least time. In my opinion, this is one of the best songs from the 1980s and probably also the song that A-Ha are most known for today. The music video is also fairly decent given the fact that the music was of course the core component. It is a well-rounded effort in all areas and the outcome is an extremely catchy tune that also has a decent emotional message attached to it that most probably ignore. Oh well, the lyrics are not that deep really, but it's not a problem at all. I highly recommend you to check it out.
Taking on me

A-Ha's Take on Me got a new lease of life in The Last of Us, and it's a song for the ages. It's hard to believe Take on Me was debuted nearly 40 years ago, yes that long ago, but wow, it has endured. The video was amazing and still stands up to today's videos, although it's funny how in my generation the reference to video is to videocassette tapes like VHS (but not Beta with due respect).
The lyrics are moving and it can sum up themes of courage, resilience, progression and achievement. I wonder how many graduation ceremonies had this song, because it's so inspirational and all init for sure.

Deserves its reputation

"Take on Me" totally deserves its reputation as one of the most iconic music videos ever made.
Easily the best song from this band, even if A-Ha themselves didn't seem to think very much of it, judging by the beginning from "The Sun Always Shines on T. V." video, which honestly felt a bit petty.
