Episode Details

Some songs seem to spring out of nowhere, and then you take a deeper look and you realize that it's a cover, or a rewrite, or it's a re-release that flopped the first time. "Take On Me" by A-ha, it turns out, is in the All Of The Above category. It was re-written several times and re-recorded a couple of times, and released three times before it finally became the hit we know today. Click here to become a patron of the show.
