A-ha’s “Take On Me” Using Glasses of Water

The video for A-ha's "Take On Me" recently hit 1 BILLION views! If you need perspective, the only other video from the 1980's to hit the billion mark is Guns 'N Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine". So yeah, it's a lot.

It may have inspired this kid to upload a video of him playing the song using glasses of water filled to different levels and using some makeshift percussion items.

The result is a very good job recreating the song. Plus, it's hard to play four different beats, using all four appendages, at the same time.

Here's the original video. It was a pretty good video for it's time, especially when many other 80's videos were terrible.
