Any A-Ha fans here? How do you like this new Weezer cover of Take On Me?
 

What's "Gay" about this new cover song released a few days ago by devout heterosexuals with children?

Aha is big gay...the council has spoken!

Did you watch the video? What's Gay about the video? Please tell me my Serbian friend.

Maybe you like this shitty version better? Please tell me judge of what is Gay in your ass.

I personally think it's a crap ass cover with no imagination. What do you think?

No I would not click on a gay link...its aha...men singing...gay...

The "link" is a cover by straight men with children you dope. It's a new version.

Click it. Listen. Then tell me what you think.

please take a second to look at the still image of the video you posted...it is the gayest thing I have seen since that poster for that musical with emma stone where she dances like a faggot...

You really think this is Gay? Seriously? WTF is wrong with you?

look at the cover pic of the video :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

dude I aint clicking on that gay shit :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Holy fuck! You think this girl is Gay?!!! Seriously dude I already came so pull my dick out of you ass for 2 minutes and listen to this song man!!!

It is :thumbsup

I didn't really care for the original song much. Great video at the time, but the song never made it to my top 100 list. The Weezer video is... kind of boring. Nothing really new, and the nostalgia angle is being done to death lately it seems.

The Metal cover above is awful. The Deadpool version works but only for the Deadpool movie. Andie Case has a nice voice and is a cutie for sure, but... ZZZZzzz I'm tired of this song.

When I am in the mood for some 80's music I'll listen stuff from New Order, Joy Division, REM, Echo & The Bunnymen, Violent Femmes, Sonic Youth, Dead Kennedys, The Cult, The Cure, PFurs, The Church, Duran Duran, and on and on... I lean more towards 80's Alternative and Goth than towards Pop though... anyway out of all that, Ah Ha never once gets a click from me.

Except for this thread.

Fuck.

Bypass the sax intro and skip to :35secs - check out the kickass bass line they come in with.

Good chuggin' tune IMO.

Don't think ya should remake a song unless you're changing the style or making it better which they didn't. Certain songs I don't think ya should fuck with as good to go...







etc... :2 cents:

this is also all gay...

You forgot the B-52s.

Original is original

Honest answer is that its not sufficiently different from the original to make me want to listen to it again. I enjoy a good cover when the band have re-interpreted some part or overall style of the song, but aside from a different style of middle 8, I could have thought I was listening to A-ha had I not been told different.

Gay is on your mind a lot

Great song love that one brings back memories.

Love this one as well

When I was put in foster care I listened to this song constantly thinking of my "mother" and what I could say or do to stop her addiction & abuse and make her want me. I hadn't seen the video until years later

OMG - I love that - I met her a few times - She was a local girl...

mtv played the shit out of that... dire straights money for nothing and the cure!

LOL.... I never met another person who would admit they are into Joy Division. LOL.

I spent hours and hours and making out to A-Ha when I was in high school.

Their video was ground breaking at the time.

Sigh. I love 80s music.

:helpme nobody asked what you did with their music .

You got paid to post this as well

Also gay:

Not really into them but they have a couple of songs that I like...

Not me. I was the awkward dork who hung out in "the computer room" and join the chess club in high school. The girls I liked didn't know I existed. I did not become the sexy stud muffin I am today until I turned 18.

Just like they did withToto's Africa, I feel like they didn't "Weezerize" it enough. Where's the crunchy guitar riffs?

I'm impressed with Cuomo's singing though. I've played this song on guitar and my voice breaks apart on the high notes.

That's an awesome cover. The Weezer version is just an imitation. I don't see the point of covering a song or remaking a movie if you're just going to copy the original.

I wonder why.

That's actually not a cover it's a derivative work acoustic version arranged by Lars Horntveth of A-Ha and sung by Morten Harket, lead singer of A-Ha. You know they got paid massive money for that to end up in Deadpool 2.

The Weezer version is a cover with a compulsory cover license. Compulsory cover licenses don't require the permission of the copyright holder but you have to do the song pretty much exactly like the original otherwise you're going into a derivative work territory where you have to contact the license holder and negotiate with them how much more you're going to pay.

This is A-Ha's Morten Harket singing his Deadpool version of the song live in 2017 on MTV Unplugged.

Not Gay :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Not Gay nope

Still not Gay :D

A dude singing about feelings...thats about as gay as it gets...the only exception is legend hulio iglesias who fucked a different woman every day for 10 years...he is obviously the chosen one...

You just expressed your feelings. According to your own standard you are Gay.

I did not sing...I did not talk about kissy kissy huggy huggy gay feelings...I just pointed out that hulio is obviously the chosen one...he is the only man that can sing and not be gay...

You were gay back then?

Just a reminder

Gay ^^^^

the only example of a singing alpha male ever:



he sings the gayest shit yet he makes up for it by impaling a different woman every day for a decade and therefore restores his heterosexuality to infinite levels...all other men who sing are faggots tho...even the death metal guys :2 cents::2 cents:

from what i have heard, russians are last people on earth who should have opinions about music

cover sucks - one slight rock and roll solo doesn't a cover make :/ a-ha did this song unplugged, and it amazing how much better the song is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xKM3mGt2pE
