1. I didn't this find this clip particularly funny or clever, but I loved this song, bought the album and proceeded to play Love Is Reason and Living A Boy's Adventure Tale to f*cking death.

2. Cute take on the song. I loved Ah Ha! in the 80's.

12. Suddenly I want to get out the hair gel, perhaps drink a vodka cranberry while trying on boatneck t-shirts and red leather ties. Ah, the 80's.

    Great vid, very clever and funny.

14. Morten Harket was one of the first guys who ever gave me a boner. He's still handsome, too-- a-ha is still together all these years later (although they sound much different now).

15. Vodka cranberry is an 80's drink?

    Jeez if only the crowd I was with last night in NYC knew how outdated they were drinking...
