In a keynote speech at the show, Oliver Zipse, chairman of the board of management of BMW AG, showed an image, certainly one that qualifies as a teaser, that revealed a narrow, wide screen sitting at the base of the windshield. It shows a clock and a speedometer — all digital of course — and an apparent radio readout of “Take On Me” (A-Ha fans, take note). There’s a shadowy glimpse of a fat steering wheel in the foreground. There’s a head-up display in there as well, flashed onto the windshield glass.

Inside Vera Blue's 'Disco Darlings' Playlist
To speak with 9Honey Celebrity, Vera Blue, who grew to fame as a contestant on The Voice Australia, wore a bright and bubbly outfit, and an even brighter smile.
Vera Blue has revealed all the songs on her 'Disco Darlings' Apple Music playlist. (Apple Music)During her The Voice days, Vera Blue was known by her real name, Celia Pavey. In 2015, the artist adopted her new moniker, to reflect her new approach to music.
Blue's summer playlist is as fun and fresh as her outfit, featuring all sorts of happy tunes, from Harry Styles to Madonna and Beyoncé.
"When I think of summer, I think of upbeat. I think of fun, I think of happy energy," says Blue.
"I wanted to make a playlist that made people feel good, with songs that resonated in a powerful way. I wanted a playlist that, when I listen to it top to bottom, I just feel that I'm happy the whole time."
Blue revealed she turns to '80s music when she wants to have a boogie, and loves a certain A-ha hit. (A-ha
While there were plenty of current pop hits on Blue's list, the Lie To Me singer definitely has a soft spot for an earlier era – the '80s.When asked about her choice of A-ha's Take on Me, she said, "There's something about '80s music that I just love. I love the synths. And Take on Me is just a total classic.
"When my band and I were on tour, it was the hype song before going on stage. We'd be there and we'd be fist-bumping, and we'd be like 'yeah let's do this!'. It's just the best feel-good tune."

Typical of a lot of the Cardigans’ back-catalogue, Lovefool had a less saccharine lyrical undercurrent than Persson’s velvet-coated vocals suggested. When it came to the Cardigans, one needed to follow the dark to see the light. Fellow Scandinavians A-ha have adopted similar methods in their work, so is it a Nordic thing?
Persson considers: “It could be but I’m not sure. Isn’t it a universal thing, really? If you made stats there are few pop or rock songs that are only bright – that’s very rare. The rest of them are dark! I’ve always had a hard time talking about the Scandinavian mentality but I think it’s art [in general]. I think what we are drawn to – which might be a Scandinavian thing – is to sort of ‘Trojan Horse’ your product; put it in a costume of something that’s light and upbeat.”

Zitat10x epische Musikvideos aus den 80ern: die Revolution, die MTV auslöste
In den 1980er Jahren löste MTV eine regelrechte Revolution in der Musikindustrie aus. Seit dem Start des TV-Kanals ist ein episches Musikvideo mindestens genauso wichtig wie ein starker Song. Sie führte in rasantem Tempo zu einer Explosion von Musikvideos mit Kultcharakter. Wir haben zehn von ihnen für Sie aufgelistet!
MTV wurde in Amerika am 1. August 1981 mit den Worten "Ladies and Gentlemen, Rock and Roll" gestartet. Obwohl das Phänomen der "Musikvideos" zu Beginn des Fernsehens nicht völlig neu war, wurde die Produktion von Musikvideos erst ab diesem Zeitpunkt für Künstler und Plattenfirmen kommerziell interessant.

Zitat6. a-ha - Take On Me
Das Musikvideo zu Take On Me von a-ha ist ebenfalls bahnbrechend. Und nicht ganz zufällig stammt der Clip von demselben Regisseur, der Money For Nothing produziert hat: Steve Barron. Das Video ist mit Hilfe von Rotoscoping entstanden, einer Technik, mit der man Zeichnungen realistisch animieren kann. Der Clip mischt auf geschickte Weise animierte und reale Bilder.

This creative video pushed boundaries by combining live-action with pencil-sketch animation. To create the piece, live-action footage was traced frame by frame. That amounted to approximately 3,000 drawings and 16 weeks of work.
NUR Nummer 26???
Ist ein Bezahl-Artikel. Aber über die Google-Suche konnte ich zumindest diesen Text rausfinden:
ZitatDas Kornfeld, durch das Morten Harket in „Foot of the Mountain“ streift, liegt in Sellin auf Rügen. Das Musikvideo zu dem bekannten Song der norwegischen Popgruppe A-ha wurde 2009 in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern gedreht.
Hier schweben die bunten Ballons an der Steilküste hinaus auf die Ostsee und entlang des Strandes, wo sich Sänger Morten Harket in den Sand fallen lässt.
Ja, natürlich ist TOM dabei!

In case you missed it, it’s being reported that various 7-Elevens around the US have started playing music to deter people from lingering outside the store. The convenience store locations that have had problems with homeless people harassing customers in their parking lots are now blasting classical and opera music to shoo them away.
This got us talking on New Jersey 101.5’s afternoon show about songs you find so obnoxious that it would make you want to leave wherever you are. We all have at least one; some of us have many.

Take on Me by Aha
Afternoon host Jeff Deminski cannot stand Aha’s Take On Me. Not the music, not the video, he wants no part of it. I almost didn’t want to include this in the list because I think the song is an absolute banger, but after Jeff gave his opinion on the song, Cindy in Manahawkin called in to back him up!
Color me shocked, but there are people in this state who don’t like this '80s classic, they walk among us, don’t let your guard down.

ZitatAlles anzeigenThe Last Laugh: There’s no rhyme or reason to this column
By Tony Wade
Sometimes a bunch of stuff just pops into my head and there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Once I thought about that, I did a search on Google for “origin of no rhyme or reason.” Did you know there is actually an official No Rhyme or Reason Day? I didn’t, either. It’s Sept. 1.
Anyway, according to the website, that idiom has existed since 1460 in the English language. It was first read in the book, “The Boke of Nurture,” by John Russell, and then later made an appearance in 1590 in the Shakespearean play “Comedy of Errors.”
So today, I offer up some random stuff, but I wanted there to be a rhyme and reason. Thus, here is the rhyme: a sac where spores are made is called a sporange so slap the next person saying nothing rhymes with orange.
Here’s the reason: I couldn’t think of anything else.

A-Ha Moment: Remember that song “Take On Me” by the group A-Ha? I really wasn’t into the whole New Wave thing in the 1980s, but videos like the groundbreaking one for that song were ubiquitous back then so of course I heard it a bajillion times. Well, recently I listened to a playlist of 1980s tunes and it was on it. I had no idea the singer was actually singing words when he does that high-pitched part in the chorus. Evidently after he says “I’ll be gone” he says “In a day or two.” I had no idea. I just thought he was making sounds like a yodeler. Or kinda like that sound that 2004 presidential candidate Howard Dean made at the end of the speech that doomed his campaign. Or a dying wildebeest. Or Yoko Ono.

> Released in: 1985
> Artist: a-ha
Released in 1984 with a generic music video, this song by Norwegian synth-pop band a-ha failed to gain traction until director Steve Barron put together this comic book fantasy video using rotoscoping, an animation technique that involves tracing over motion picture footage to create realistic movements. The song took home six MTV video music awards in 1986, including Best Concept Video.
Eddie Howes Leidenschaft für a-has Musik wird immer wieder mal erwähnt, diesmal in einem Artikel von France24:

When he is not indulging his "secret passion" for 1980s synth-pop band A-ha, the workaholic Howe spends 12-hour days at Newcastle's Darsley Park training ground.

A-ha have long since disappeared from the charts, but Howe is doing his best to ensure Newcastle are more than a one-hit wonder.

Wusstet Ihr, dass Rihanna im Song "SOS" "Take on me" und andere 80er-Lieder zitiert hat? "Tainted Love" sticht natürlich heraus.
Ich kannte den Song gar nicht...
Zitat(...)
The “SOS” lyrics are all about romantic desperation, and they’re mostly a stitched-together collection of pop-song quotes: “Take on me, you know inside you feel it, right?/ Take me on, I could just die up in your arms tonight/ I melt with you, you got me head over heels/ Boy, you keep me hangin’ on, the way you make me feel.” Those lyrics are perfectly trite, and they lump all of ’80s pop into one indistinct whole. But those lyrics also capture that weird sensation of only being able to properly convey your feelings through the medium of pop music. Picture Rihanna outside someone’s window, holding up a boom box, frantically tuning to different radio stations to find the exact right song.
