Whether you’re a child of the eighties or not, A-ha‘s video for the song, ‘Take On Me’, is widely regarded as one of the pop music videos that helped pushed the genre forward and gave it some semblance of legitimacy as an art form.

Check out this re-done version of the song ‘Take On Me’ in "literal" form. It’s funny. It’s irreverent, but more importantly, it demonstrates the power of creativity in the face of knowing that it will only appeal to very small and select niche.
