a-ha - Take On Me

This is a song that pretty much everyone knows. It's still played on radio, in films, etc. a-ha is still together making music and touring but here in America they are considered a one hit wonder. I feel that 100 years from now, this will be one of the few songs that will still be recognizable.

I know and like both but when I think a-ha, I most readily think "Forever Not Yours" instead.

One hit really in America. I'm a big fan of a-ha so I realize that they are really an international band with quite the following still. But in America, definitely one hit wonder.
