I admit that I have never understood A-ha’s video of “Take On Me”. Why do the evil racetrack mechanics pursue and attack our protagonists? I still have no idea. This has plagued me since 1985.

@beatnikprof It's there in the title 'Take On Me!' He has clearly asked them for a fight.

@sentient_water But why them? Of all the people who might want to break up these crazy rotoscoped kids, why raceway mechanics?

“November Rain” is one of the most iconic rock videos of all time. It has been confusing me for 30 years.
