A-ha not happy with Trump copying their 'Take On Me' video
Donald Trump tweeted out a corny video that depicts the president as a pencil-drawn animation having his hair tussled, dancing and hugging the U.S. flag, resembling A-ha's iconic video for Take On Me. Magne Furuholmen, founding member and keyboardist with the Norwegian pop trio who wrote the famous 'Take On Me' riff, had this to say to Rolling Stone about it - "You write a song in your youth and you don’t write for a particular group of people one way or another; you write it for everyone. But then stuff like this happens. You want to be careful about deciding who’s allowed to do what with what you put out in the world. We make our music for everybody. We didn’t intend to make our music part of a divisive campaign and, all things equal would have preferred it not to have been". In August Furuholmen released a protest song 'This Is Now America', as a response to the Trump administration. A nice song, watch below.
