With all the talk about A-Ha on this thread, I finally remembered to look up the sheet music for "Take On Me" that I've been wanting for a long time. :woohoo:

Oh My God, I hate that song!! :eek: And I have to hear it every day on the piped-in music system in the store in which I work! :mad:

Toni Basil, like Paual Abdul, is definitive proof that choreographers should not be allowed in a recording studio! :p

[Steve M.]

"Right Place, Wrong Time" by Dr. John is my favorite tune from One-Hit-Wonderland, although Dr. John is only technically a one-hit-wonder. He's remained active in the studio and in the New Orleans club circuit since. :) ;)
