Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Okay, I am doing a series of songs that have either been forgotten, were never noticed, or were thrown out of the spotlight by the band's others hit/s.

The first song falls in the last catagory. In 1985, an unknown Norwegian synth-pop group released their debut album Hunting High and Low. That album sold over 10 million units world wide and spawned the mega-famous ( it hit #1 on the charts in 36 countries) and still popular song Take on Me.

But since all this is about the forgot ones we will neglect that one and move on to the second single of the album. It didn't fare so well, only reaching 20 on the US Billboard charts and was their last top 40 single. But it shows lead singer and general all round sexy man Morten Harket's vocal abilities far better in my opinion, and is far more emotional than Take on Me.

This is The Sun Always Shines on TV and you're listening to a-ha.

BTW: feel free to give ideas for more tunes in this series if wanted, but remember I am the ultimate judge on this matter and if I don't like it I won't do it FULL STOP.

Fuck A-Ha are awesome and this song rapes Take On Me

They are on my top 10 bands I want to see at least live at least once oddly enough, even though the chances of No. 1 getting together are pretty much nil. But yeah, this rapes Take on Me in the ass and leaves it to bleed.

Who's No 1? My favouriter A-Ha song is Manhatten Skyline.

May. 18, 2008 | 8:22 PM positively-negative responds:

Mozz, Marr, Joyce & Rourke of course. But yeah, this is my favourite a-ha (correct grammar,) song.

Of course! I can't believe I asked a Smiths fan with The Smiths in his sig pic the band he would most like to see live, even after I am old that it wont happen.

I am pretty much oblivious to the world, it would appear.

May. 20, 2008 | 7:34 AM positively-negative responds:

Yeah, I cry myself to sleep at night knowing I will never see that band together. I mean money won't do it, Marr & Mozz talking to each other again won't do it. Rourke & Marr playing together a few times won't do it.

And yes you are oblivious to the world.

Very.

Have a nice day.

Maybe if we get Mozza pleasently tipsy and see if he agrees? :3

May. 22, 2008 | 12:19 AM positively-negative responds:

You realise we would have to do this to all 4 members. Not one said yes to playing a one off gig as The Smiths.

Mozz & Marr have both stated things in the media along the lines of, "The Smiths are over. Even if me and the other band members are talking with each other, a reunion is out of the question."

And I doubt Mozz will be talking to Joyce in a hurry after the court case in the 90's. I mean he did say "I wish the very worst for Mike for the rest of his life."

But what he said about Craig Gannon for the same court case is my FAVOURITE Mozz insult "Craig Gannon may have won the case, but he still lost, cause he's still Craig Gannon."
