my personal opinion: A-ha's Take on Me was the greatest music video of all time. what's your choice?

I don't know about greatest of all time, but it was definitely a work of art.

Good question. I would say probably something by Michel Gondry like the video he did for Chemical Brothers' Star Guitar or Let Forever Be or maybe one of his Björk videos.

But I'd definitely put Take on Me at the top of the 80s video pile. My absolute favorite video of that era would be And She Was by the Talking Heads, but Take on Me is so overplayed at this point that I'm not sure if that's why I don't like it as much.

I don't think it's fair to compare Thriller to other music videos...

I'm the only who saw a W in his forehead and though the joke was that she was sleeping with Wario?

Most millennials will be familiar with the Literal Video version of the song, at least. That thing was everywhere in 2008.

Early millennials grew up with the original. Even though I was born around when the song released, I've seen that music video many, many times on TV in late 80s/early 90s.

Hell, Family guy made fun of it at one point. Don't have to be that old to recognize it pretty quickly.

I did too and I thought it was great.

After a good chuckle, it's not great, but it's still pretty decent.
