Covers of "Take On Me"

Music videos used to matter. I remember being fascinated back In 1985 by a-ha's video for "Take On Me" which featured a unique melding of animation and live action sequences. While a catchy tune, the video made more of a mark on me than the song. That is, until I heard some of these covers.

Jon Stewart: why I quit The Daily Show

Interesting article from the Guardian, but my favorite part was his response on if he would ever watch Fox News again after leaving the show:

Umm… All right, let’s say that it’s a nuclear winter, and I have been wandering, and there appears to be a flickering light through what appears to be a radioactive cloud and I think that light might be a food source that could help my family. I might glance at it for a moment until I realise, that’s Fox News, and then I shut it off. That’s the circumstance.
— Jon Stewart to Hadley Freeman, The Guardian
