Western oldies 1985

1985 was really a year where big names gathered.

Madonna and WHAM were born, and they immediately caused a sensation in the martial arts world. There was also a charity chorus - We Are The World , which gathered superstars from all walks of life. It also opened the pioneer of Taiwan's charity song - tomorrow will be better . The British singers even published Do They Know It's Christmas? at the end of 1984. Is there any? Big coffee gathered, the best nostalgic year!

Grandpa Volunteer loves this song : #10 Take On Me === A-HA

The A-Ha Choir from Norway released a music video "Take On Me" in 1985 that combines sketch animation and live action. Immediately shocked the world, and won 13 country rankings, and 8 MTV Video Music Awards.

Back then~~~ Three young guys in their early twenties brought their own demo tapes. Looked around for the support of the record company, but unfortunately failed to attract any attention. After a few months, they ran out of money and had to return to Norway to work part-time jobs in order to earn basic living expenses and money to record a new demo tape.

In the end, Warners scouts signed a contract with them. Warner Bros. released their first album "Hunting High And Low". The first single "Take On Me" received a lukewarm response after it was released, but the record company was very optimistic about the song, so they re-recorded it with a different producer. Too bad it still didn't work out.

But MTV was already a climax in the United States at the time, so Warner's American company hired a director to make the song into a half-pencil sketch animation and half live-action music video. MTV liked it very much and played it strongly. As a result, it not only had a high on-demand rate, but also won many awards for music tapes, but also brought this song back to life! On October 19, 1985, it reached the top of the national rankings.

This happened more than 30 years ago. Young people should not hear this song now, but in 2016, there was a Korean drama " W-Two Worlds ", which also had a plot where comics and reality were intertwined, which reminded people again. this song.

Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Suk~~ It would be even better if it was Shin Min Ah and Kim Sun Ho ...

I can't fight this feeling any longer

What started out as friendship has grown stronger

I only wish I had the strength to let it show

Raise your hand if you haven't seen the movie "Back to the Future"??? Impossible...
