2Anyone still listening this song October 2026?
2I remember this was every males' dream.....a girl wanting you to do what you do. And you made sure she had nothing to worry about!!
2Who needs CGI? Just brilliant camera work, and fantastic rotoscope animation. Still an amazing video after all these years.
2i have 21 years old, i hope i will find this comment and come back when i will have my husband with who i am dancing to this in kitchen at 2 am :)
2Brotherhood anyone?
6who's here also from the brotherhood?
3BROTHERHOOD 😭
692017-2026😔
WHO IS BRHD FAN HEREEEEE!!!!
Came from insta after watching brotherhood dance .
6That opening synth feels like stepping into an ’80s dream, and then “Take On Me” turns into this impossible mix of romance, motion, and pure nostalgia. A-ha really made a song that still feels like a time machine. 🖤🎹✨
2I need to say this.. When this song came out I was in and out of jail, addicted, and homeless. Now I have a husband, home and good job. This song and “Clover Cage - Faith In The Fire” are the two songs that helped me get through my depression. I just want people to know things do get better. We are in this together. ❤ with so much love
2THIS SONG CAME OUT OF MY ENGLISH LISTENING PAPER😭😭😭
6Did anyone come because of the English listening test earlier? 😂
6Born in 1979 and still listening to the 80s in 2026!!
1Die guten alten Zeiten 😢
5Who still watches 2026 September?
5They are goats
Back in the day you had to stay glued to the tv all day just to catch your fav video once, and that's if you were lucky! Take a potty break at the wrong moment and you missed it. Same with the radio. You were at the mercy of the music gods. Oh boy, how I cheered every time this one came on. Now you can watch on YouTube when and as often as you like. We are so lucky now!😊

58It’s my time to be brave and just say it.. When this song came out I was in and out of jail, addicted, and homeless. Now I have a husband, home and good job. This song and “Clover Cage - Faith In The Fire” are the two songs that helped me get through my depression. I just want people to know things do get better. We are in this together. 😊 we need eachother
2the only 80s song that reached 2Billion views and counting
3Сентябрь, 2026, ✊🏼😎.
8The sad part about life is that days like these will never come back.
19God loves us so much that the only reason he lets bad things happen is to make greater things happen after them. Follow Jesus and obey his commands and you'll be saved no matter what you did before. Have a great day and a fruitful life
5No more hiding from my past. When this song came out I was in and out of jail, addicted, and homeless. Now I have a husband, home and good job. This song and “Clover Cage - Faith In The Fire” are the two songs that helped me get through my depression. I just want people to know things do get better. We are in this together. :)
33Still the best music video ever. That rotating camera swapping them back and forth between drawing and live action is a genius move, especially in the days before computer animation. We were still living with film and video tape back in the day.
3Hello 2026 anyone?
4I don't know when you're seeing this message, but today—14,926—I am listening to this song.
1They take the effort seriously; the video even has credits.
1It aged like fine wine.
my only flex is my mom met this guy in an airport
2a-ha’s “Take On Me” is a pure ’80s classic. The song is unforgettable, the video was years ahead of its time, and together they created something truly iconic. The ’80s really were a golden age for music — they just don’t make them like this anymore. 2.38 billion views and counting
11I wish music had this much passion again…
3Music and videos like this were the crème de la crème back in the actual MTV golden era
How many of our 80s folks still here watching this and miss our era😢
15How many here after watching Chris Griffin ??? 😂😂😂😂
4The days with no AI no good CGI...
2Without this song, the 80s wouldn't be the 80s
80This is exactly the type of song you shoot into space for interspecies relations.
10Hello to whoever is listening and watching in 2026. How old are you? I'm 56.
