About Take on Me

"Take On Me" is the fourth track on "Weezer (The Teal Album)". It was originally written by Norwegian Synthpop Band A-ha and released in 1984. It was used in the soundtrack for the third Spongebob movie, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run , alongside an original track performed by the band called It's Always Summer in Bikini Bottom.

The music video, directed by Carrick Moore Gerety, was released on February 12, 2019 and stars actor Finn Wolfhard portraying a teenage Rivers Cuomo. Wolfhard's bandmates from his real-life band Calpurnia portray Cuomo's bandmates in the band Avant Garde. Avant Garde's eventual name, Zoom, is also referenced. Like the original A-ha music video, the video also features pencil-drawn, rotoscoped animation over live action footage.
