It’s amazing what a second chance can do. In the case of the Norwegian ‘80s band A-ha, they got a second chance after a video for their synth-pop single “Take On Me.” The video was generic — a pretty ‘80s band playing a pretty ‘80s song — which meant it got lost in the shuffle. But a music executive believed that the band could be a hit if they were packaged the right way, and recruited director Steve Barron to make another video.
