YouTube: Hey everyone!!

Well this is a first haha. I've ALWAYS seen requests for "Take On Me" and I've given it a try a couple times but this song NEEDS VOCALS. As luck would have it (or Twitter would have it) me and one of my favorite vocalists chit chatted about it. And here we are! If you are unaware of PelleK's channel, ya might want to head over there :)

He was fantastic and very easy to work with and what I had in my head of what it sounding like, he made even better. Not to mention his vocal range is insane too haha. And thank YOU guys for everything as always. I always want to try new things and try to improve the vids. Hopefully ya dig. Big ups for rocking my casbah, EVERY TIME!

Best to ya

Nice ending note by the singer... that's over the top of the original (though they may have transposed it down for the cover).

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Tingles.

*80s

Original version is better.

Adding video to channels (80s) - requested by ant.

Original version sucked.

MilkmanDan says...

I always love covers that completely mix-up the feel / genre of a song, so this was great.

And I enjoy that guitar dude's stuff, in spite (or because?) of his ever-present shit-eating grin while he's playing! The vocalist has some nice chops too, really cool to hear him transition from the low note on the first "taaaake" to the octave-higher-than-usual peak of "twooooo" shortly later.

Nice cover, nice sift!
