Arguably the best video of all time. A-Ha's 1985 video for their song "Take on Me" is timeless and memorable. Though the styles are definitely from the 1980s, it is not over the top or obnoxious. The song itself is fabulous as well. Unfortunately A-Ha only had one hit in the United States.
A-Ha holds a special place in my heart. This was my very first cassette tape. Although, "Take on Me" was the only hit, I loved the other songs as well. It is so funny, I can't even imagine dealing with cassette tapes anymore.
This video, in my opinion, is pure art. I love it.
(You'll not that there are subtitles in this video. It is called the Literal Video Version. The subtitles are not in the original video, but I wasn't able to post the official video so I opted for this.)
