Haha I love this song! I have also discovered it's the perfect song to run to....it's got just the right beat for my slow plodding.

Comedycook · 07/02/2024 16:01

Hideous imo

ISpeakahDuolingo · 07/02/2024 16:02

I've always disliked this song, and love most cheesy pop!

I love it but prefer The Sun Always Shines on TV.

LadyKenya · 07/02/2024 16:02

No sorry, but I reckon Big Area, by Then Jerico is in the running for that title.

Mrsloverlover · 07/02/2024 16:03

Agree! Also love the acoustic version on Spotify.

Barbarachicken · 07/02/2024 16:04

Such a nostalgic song for me! Love it, & Morten

Mrsloverlover · 07/02/2024 16:06

Cross posted with @user73 ! That’s the one. Perfect

I was just coming on to say this. I will die on this hill, with Morten hopefully by my side.

I've always thought "Wake me up before you go-go" is a perfect pop song, although I was never a fan of Wham. But it's bright, bouncy and so infectious. Nice melody too.
It must be a wedding dance floor-filler, everyone knows it. (And it's miles better than Come on Eileen 😉)
Take on Me is fine but not as upbeat.

eandz13 · 07/02/2024 16:38

Absolutely 1000%. It's my favourite song!

hby9628 · 07/02/2024 16:40

@Cheesymonster it's the only way for me to get through exercise. I'm also currently enjoying Miley Cyrus Party in the USA & various Britney songs.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 07/02/2024 16:42

YABVVVU. Mr Blue Sky is the most perfect pop song.

I hear Aha in Alan Partridge's voice. Always.

AHA! - Alan Partridge

Can't believe this was not already on YouTube!!!!

belvitas · 07/02/2024 16:49

it's fantastic yes and I've heard Morten sing it Live about four times!

belvitas · 07/02/2024 16:50

but...the best pop song
ever written is God Only Knows by the Beach Boys

Lottapianos · 07/02/2024 16:51

'I love it but prefer The Sun Always Shines on TV'

Me too!

MadisonAvenue · 07/02/2024 16:55

I was never a A Ha fan but love this and The Sun Always Shines On TV.

Another perfect pop song is Britney’s ‘Baby One More Time’.

TinkerTiger · 07/02/2024 16:57

I love it, but it makes no sense.

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 07/02/2024 16:58

If you want something dark and moody - Vienna, by Ultravox. Always gives me the shivers.

OTOH, does anyone else sing the 'boom boom boom' to Katy Perry's 'Firework' in the voice of Baldrick's War Poem?

LauderSyme · 07/02/2024 17:07

🎼Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway

I was such a fan back in the day and that pic of Morten Harket just literally gave me fanny gallops 😆

NashvilleQueen · 07/02/2024 17:27

I can only hear the Shitty Flute version now

BatshitCrazyWoman · 07/02/2024 17:28

Oh no 🙁 I really dislike this song.
