    beck: Ditto that. After initial exposure to both, I liked this song much better than "Take On Me." I'll add also that they ("Ah-Ha") did the theme to "The Living Daylights" in the 007 series. A good one as well IMHO...

    In the US, people forgot this made the Top 20. It officially made A-ha NOT a one hit wonder here.... but still so amazingly underrated here. This is my favorite song from them.

    Oh yeah, this song was beautiful, though truly the whole album is pretty damn good if you listen to it.

    Fun stuff from a vocalist that is reported to have learned the lyrics phonetically! Plenty of bands weren't as good being able to understand the English language - lol
