Recorded by Norwegian pop band A-ha in 1985 this familiar tune has taken on a life of its own becoming one of the top selling singles of all time. Paul's effective version for concert band provides plenty of variety in scoring and retains the exciting flavor of the original including the signature half-time feel in the chorus.

Norwegian group A-ha took the American pop scene by storm in 1985 when Take On Me reached #1 thanks to an appealing style and also an innovative music video featured on MTV. Perfectly suited for the marching field thisarrangement contains all the drive and energy of the original.
