href="/wiki/Synth-pop" title="Synth-pop">synth-pop</a> band <a href="/wiki/A-ha" title="A-ha">a-ha</a>. The original version, recorded in 1984 and released in October of that year, was produced by <a href="/wiki/Tony_Mansfield" title="Tony Mansfield">Tony Mansfield</a> and remixed by <a href="/wiki/John_Ratcliff_(producer)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Ratcliff (producer)">John Ratcliff</a>. The 1985 international hit version was produced by <a href="/wiki/Alan_Tarney" title="Alan Tarney">Alan Tarney</a> for the group's debut studio album, <a href="/wiki/Hunting_High_and_Low" title="Hunting High and Low">Hunting High and Low</a> (1985). The recording combines <a href="/wiki/Synth-pop" title="Synth-pop">synth-pop</a> with a varied instrumentation, including acoustic guitars, keyboards, and drums. The original 1984 version "Take On Me" failed to chart in the United Kingdom, as did the second version in the first of its two 1985 releases. The second of those 1985 releases charted in September 1985, reaching number two on the <a href="/wiki/UK_Singles_Chart" class="mw-redirect" title="UK Singles Chart">UK Singles Chart</a> in October. In the United States in October 1985, the single topped <a href="/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100">Billboard's Hot 100</a>, bolstered by the wide exposure on <a href="/wiki/MTV" title="MTV">MTV</a> of director <a href="/wiki/Steve_Barron" title="Steve Barron">Steve Barron</a>'s innovative <a href="/wiki/Music_video" title="Music video">music video</a> featuring the band in a live-action pencil-sketch animation sequence.

Waaktaar and Furuholmen relocated to London to try their hand in the music industry there but returned to Norway after six months of disappointment.<a href="#cite_note-ahachap2-3">[3]</a> They were joined by their school friend, singer <a href="/wiki/Morten_Harket" title="Morten Harket">Morten Harket</a>, who heard the song and said the keyboard riff had the character of a universal hit sound. The three began working on demos, including a new version of the song, which was renamed "Lesson One" before it evolved into "Take On Me". In January 1983, the band returned to London in search of a recording contract.<a href="#cite_note-ahachap2-3">[3]</a> They intended the song to show off Harket's vocal range, which led to his vocals "doing this spiralling thing".<a href="#cite_note-Secrethistory-7">[7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Recording_and_production">Recording and production</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Take_On_Me&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Recording and production">edit</a>]</div> The band moved into an apartment in London and began contacting record companies and publishing houses. After a few meetings with various <a href="/wiki/A%26R" class="mw-redirect" title="A&R">A&R</a> personnel, they signed with the publishing house Lionheart. A-ha returned to Norway to earn some money; when they returned to London, they left Lionheart out of frustration.<a href="#cite_note-ahabio-8">[8]</a> They decided to record new demos, and chose the studio of musician and producer <a href="/wiki/John_Ratcliff_(producer)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Ratcliff (producer)">John Ratcliff</a>, intending to re-record five songs. The band signed with Ratcliff, who introduced them to manager Terry Slater. With this encouragement, the band managed to complete some songs, including "Take On Me". After a few meetings, Slater signed them with <a href="/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records" class="mw-redirect" title="Warner Bros. Records">Warner Bros. Records</a> UK.<a href="#cite_note-ahabio-8">[8]</a> The band met with producer Tony Mansfield, an expert in the use of the <a href="/wiki/Fairlight_CMI" title="Fairlight CMI">Fairlight CMI</a>, who mixed the demos with electronic instrumentation. The sound was not what A-ha had hoped to achieve, and the album was remixed again. The band rushed to release "Take On Me" as a single in the United Kingdom but the single only charted at 137, the lowest-charted of all A-ha songs. After this, Warner Brothers' main office in the United States decided to invest in the band, and gave them the opportunity to re-record the song.<a href="#cite_note-ahabio-8">[8]</a> The instrumentation included a <a href="/wiki/Yamaha_DX7" title="Yamaha DX7">Yamaha DX7</a> and <a href="/wiki/PPG_Wave" title="PPG Wave">PPG Wave</a>, with Furuholmen playing the main melody on a <a href="/wiki/Roland_Juno-60" title="Roland Juno-60">Roland Juno-60</a>. A <a href="/wiki/LinnDrum" title="LinnDrum">LinnDrum</a> <a href="/wiki/Drum_machine" title="Drum machine">drum machine</a> was used on the second and third releases, with acoustic <a href="/wiki/Cymbal" title="Cymbal">cymbals</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hi-hat" title="Hi-hat">hi-hat</a> overdubbed. Harket sang the lead vocal using a <a href="/wiki/Neumann_U_47" title="Neumann U 47">Neumann U 47</a> microphone as well as a <a href="/wiki/Neve_Electronics" title="Neve Electronics">Neve</a> microphone pre-amp and Neve equaliser.<a href="#cite_note-SOS-1">[1]</a> In 2020, former Warner Brothers UK and Reprise executive <a href="/wiki/Andy_Wickham" title="Andy Wickham">Andrew Wickham</a> appeared in A-ha's official anniversary documentary A-ha: The Making of Take On Me, to explain how the song's success was due to several parties realising the band's true value. He detailed how the song finally became the worldwide smash hit still widely recognised today. In 1984, he was the international vice-president for Warner Bros Records America, and their A&R man in London. He said, "I got a call from Terry Slater... I couldn't believe my ears (at the band's audition) when I heard Morten Harket sing. I thought, how can somebody who looks like a film star sound like <a href="/wiki/Roy_Orbison" title="Roy Orbison">Roy Orbison</a>? I thought, this is unbelievable."<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> Wickham immediately signed A-ha to Warner Brothers America, after learning several previous attempts had failed to make "Take On Me" a commercial success. The next release was not successful either and featured a very ordinary performance video. He authorised considerable investment in the band: on Slater's recommendation, producer Alan Tarney was commissioned to refine the song. The new recording achieved a cleaner and more soaring sound and a <a href="/wiki/Coda_(music)" title="Coda (music)">coda</a> section instead of the earlier quick fade-out; the song was soon completed and re-released in the UK, but the record label's office in London gave them little support, and the single flopped for the second time.<a href="#cite_note-ahabio-8">[8]</a> Wickham placed the band on high priority and applied a lateral strategy with further investment. Ayeroff's co-worker John Beug suggested they should base the video on a student animated short he had seen, called "Commuter", by Michael Patterson and Candace Reckinger.

It then cuts to a scene in a cafe, in which a young woman (<a href="/wiki/Bunty_Bailey" title="Bunty Bailey">Bunty Bailey</a>) is reading the comic book. As she reads, the waitress brings her coffee and the bill. The comic's hero, after winning the race, seemingly winks at the woman from the page. His pencil-drawn hand suddenly reaches out of the comic book, inviting the woman into it. Once inside, she, too, appears in the pencil-drawn form as he sings to her and introduces her to his black-and-white world which features a sort of looking-glass portal where people and objects look real on one side and pencil-drawn on the other. Back in the cafe, the waitress returns to find the woman missing. Believing the customer <a href="/wiki/Dine_and_dash" title="Dine and dash">left without paying the bill</a>, she angrily crumples the comic book and throws it into a bin. This causes the hero's two opposing racers to reappear as villains, one of them armed with a large <a href="/wiki/Pipe_wrench" title="Pipe wrench">pipe wrench</a>. The racers smash the looking glass with the pipe wrench, trapping the woman in the comic book. The hero punches one of the thugs aside and retreats with the woman into a maze of paper. Arriving at a dead end, he tears a hole in the paper wall so that the woman can escape as the menacing opposing racers close in on him and they raise their pipe wrench to his face while he pulls out a pipe wrench of his own. The woman, now back in the real world and found lying beside the trash bin to the surprise of cafe guests and staff, retrieves the comic from the bin and runs home where she attempts to smooth out the creases of the crumpled pages in order to read what happens next. The next panel shows the hero, lying seemingly lifeless, and the woman begins to cry. However, he then wakes up and tries to break out of his comic-book frames. At the same time, his image appears in the woman's hallway, seemingly torn between real and comic form, hurling himself repeatedly left-and-right against the walls, eventually falling to the floor in his attempts to shatter his two-dimensional barrier. (This scene is largely patterned after a climactic scene in the 1980 film <a href="/wiki/Altered_States" title="Altered States">Altered States</a>.<a href="#cite_note-video-20">[20]</a>) He escapes from the comic book by becoming human, and as he stands up he breaks into a smile. The woman also smiles as she rushes towards him.

A version of this song was performed on the series finale, "Chuck vs. The Goodbye", of the television show <a href="/wiki/Chuck_(TV_series)" title="Chuck (TV series)">Chuck</a> which aired on 27 January 2012.

A cover by <a href="/wiki/D._A._Wallach" title="D. A. Wallach">D. A. Wallach</a> was featured in the film <a href="/wiki/La_La_Land" title="La La Land">La La Land</a>.

The video, set in 1985 in the "Cuomo Residence", shows Wolfhard (as Cuomo) and the rest of Calpurnia, lip-syncing to the song while "rehearsing" it in the residence's living room; the video features camera work that pays homage to the original video by a-ha.<a href="#cite_note-142">[142]</a> Near the end of the video, Wolfhard is shown sitting at a desk in his bedroom, scribbling possible names for his new band on a page of a notebook (the name Weezer is shown as option No.3).
