a-ha, the literal version

If you are of a certain age, and can actually remember when MTV actually played music videos, you probably remember the video for a-ha's single "Take On Me." It is probably, to this day, my favorite video (not that I've watched videos since the late 80's - but that's another story).
That video won 6 awards at the 1986 video music awards, and rightly so, and the song was named one of the top songs of the '80s and one the top 'one hit wonders' (thank you wikipedia).

As a side note, a-ha is actually in the studio recording a new album (from their official site).

Well, recently someone has created a 'Literal' version of the video, where the lyrics have been changed to tell exactly what is going on in the video. If you are of that certain age, and remember the original video, this one is hilarious. In fact, it's pretty funny even if you aren't of that certain age.



Don'tcha just love this whole internet thing? Once in a while, there is actually some gem that someone creates.

The original video can be seen here:
