If you find A-Ha’s Take On Me video confusing…

posted by matt | 10.28.08 | permalink |

A-ha’s video for Take On Me is one of the true classics of the 1980s MTV generation. Kids these days just don’t understand, so to assist them in grasping the concepts and aspects of this song, here’s a literal version of the video.

Thanks, Dustin McLean!

Also thanks to my Norweigan brethren, A-Ha!
