Title: Another Take On Take On Me
Post by: roo_ster on October 07, 2008, 04:03:13 PM: "A Literal Take on "Take On Me"
by Jeff Reguilon on October 06, 2008

Though it's definitely a catchy song, I doubt many people would remember A-ha's "Take On Me" if it weren't for its innovative-for-the-'80s half-animated/half-live action video. Recently, some evil genius took a crack at rewriting "Take on Me," crafting the lyrics as a running commentary describing exactly what's happening in the song's iconic video. The results are hilarious. Behold:"

One of the catchiest songs of the 1980s.

I had never seen the video until a few months ago when I looked it up on You Tube.

Anyone remember Material Issue?

Nope. I think the Irwinator should change him back and then lock it down.

I remember that one....I'm a sucker for Bond film soundtracks, too....they always seem to find interesting, off-beat music for the theme.....I liked the one done by Garbage ("The World is Not Enough", IIRC)....

!!!WRONG!!!

That honor belongs to "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney & Wings....bad Bond...great song.... :cool:

Post by: K Frame on October 08, 2008, 03:45:42 PM: Live and let die?

The only thing they should have let die was that HORRIFIC song.

It is, without a doubt, the WORST of the bond songs.

Whenever I hear it come on the radio I change the station.
