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.

The results are hilarious. Behold:

This is really fun stuff. And I always dug this tune...it's the wardrobe and hair that is most regrettable.

Personally, I like this guy's take on The Smiths' "Please, Please.." Nice Pay-off at the end! :)

That song was totally NOT forgettable! It's classic pop at its finest. It was the first thing I downloaded on iTunes LOL!
I really like the "literal take" :D
