Context, for those who aren't old as fuck 😞.

my personal opinion: A-ha's Take on Me was the greatest music video of all time. what's your choice?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice.

Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer.

I don't know about greatest of all time, but it was definitely a work of art.

Good question. I would say probably something by Michel Gondry like the video he did for Chemical Brothers' Star Guitar or Let Forever Be or maybe one of his Björk videos.

But I'd definitely put Take on Me at the top of the 80s video pile. My absolute favorite video of that era would be And She Was by the Talking Heads, but Take on Me is so overplayed at this point that I'm not sure if that's why I don't like it as much.

Possibly NSFW if your boss is a dick.

I'm old enough to get this, and that makes me a little sad.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Buhu I'm so fucking old -literally everyone here

Even my 15 year old nephew knows the song and video. Stop projecting.

I'm the only who saw a W in his forehead and though the joke was that she was sleeping with Wario?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Millennial spotted!

But seriously, I’m so old I got this joke right away.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Most millennials will be familiar with the Literal Video version of the song, at least. That thing was everywhere in 2008.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Early millennials grew up with the original. Even though I was born around when the song released, I've seen that music video many, many times on TV in late 80s/early 90s.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Hell, Family guy made fun of it at one point. Don't have to be that old to recognize it pretty quickly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Also true, thanks VH1!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I did too and I thought it was great.

After a good chuckle, it's not great, but it's still pretty decent.

Genuinely made me exhale from my nose
