40 years ago, three Norwegians turned a homemade melody into a pop revolution.
“Take on Me” fills dance floors and still earns a formidable income for A-ha.
The Post caught up with the 80s band to discuss the song’s unexpected afterlife.

‘Take On Me’ has been stuck in our heads for 40 years. Here’s how it got there.
“Take On Me,” the 1980s synth-pop hit song from the band A-ha, marks 40 years of global ubiquity even while personal disputes have chilled the Norwegian trio.

This week Magne has been in Lofoten to record new music with Apparatjik. The band's last release was the single "Julia" in 2020. In the last few years they have tried a number of times to get together to record something, but their busy schedules have prevented it until now.
