Take On Me (a cappella cover)

My entry for the as-yet-unannounced Do An A Cappella Cover Of A-Ha's 'Take On Me' On A Dare From Your Wife challenge.

So I consider myself ahead of the game.

Why this happened is kind of a long story that involves moderate amounts of drinking. I did it in the least amount of time possible, which pretty much explains why it sounds like it does.

• play
• pause
• stop

And I see you've added the norwegians tag.

But I'm not sure if a Norwegian would.

See, I can't hear this song without hearing the lyrics 'as gaeilge' (in Irish) since a friend of mine back home covered it. Here is that version...sort of

I was about to call this silly, but really, it might be the least-silly cover of this song I've heard.

Whoa. It sounds like being crazy, in the best way possible.

This is great.

as a side note, the best blackmail is always the kind people give to you freely.
