A-Ha - Take On Me. 1984


This is not only a very nice song from those Norwegian A-Ha boys (regardless of the incomprehensible lyrics), but Steve Barron's video was also one of the best of the era.

Sadly, I hear that the singer, Morten Harket, has Parkinson's. 

In his day, posters of Harket were on every teenage girl's bedroom wall, and his obvious good looks made him into a universal heartthrob.

Enjoy both the song and the video! I send him my best wishes.

    1. It does seem so. Perhaps it was given a different name before.

  2. My grandad had Parkinson's Disease and died aged 60. I have often wondered (and feared) that it could be hereditary.

    1. I have no idea, but as Susan mentioned above; there's a lot of it about.
