Aha Take On Me: Literal lyric version

[DrNo888]

Not sure how old you are, but if you grew up in the 80's, this is one of the classics in terms of song and video.
Someone changed the lyrics to match the video. Wait til the lyrics start before you close it lol.

You wasted minutes of my life.

I could never make out more than a small portion of the lyrics in the original. Not that I was particularly interested.

What I always found the most interesting about this video, beyond the technical aspects which were very good for the era, is that it became a cultural reference point. It was satirized numerous times on the assumption that everybody had seen it, yet the original was itself a pastiche of cultural references, mostly 'Altered States' but also a style of comics that was common in Europe long ago.

I personally like the Reel Big Fish cover, myself. But yeah, don't post something just because it's mildly interesting to you, at least not here.

What are you talking about? Posting stuff that's only mildly amusing to the OP is 99% of the Off-Topic Forum.


I thought it was pretty funny. It'll be interesting to see what other videos people will parody like this.
