'Take On Me,' Taken Literally

by Linda Holmes

Almost as much fun as yesterday's round of recut movie trailers is today's literal music video. This is the then-state-of-the-art video for A-Ha's "Take On Me," rewritten so that you can follow the action a little more easily. Just watch it. It made my morning. Note that the video has some language in it that I'd classify as extremely mild, but depending on your location, you might still want headphones.
