Take on Me Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brian Posehn]
Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?

[Chorus: Jill Janus]
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone (Take on me)
In a day or two

[Verse 2: Chuck Billy]
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumblin' away
Slowly learnin' that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

[Chorus: Brian Posehn]
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone (Take on me)
In a day or two
[Verse 3: Steve Souza]
Oh, the things that you say
Is it a life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shyin' away
I'll be comin' for you anyway

[Outro: Jill Janus]
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day

What did Brian Posehn say about "Take on Me"?
Genius Answer

Brian Posehn:

I’ve been wanting to do this cover for a while, and I didn’t add any jokes to it because I didn’t think I needed to. To me, it’s one of those earworms—everyone knows the a-ha song. But I thought having Brendon Small from Dethklok taking that riff and making it metal would be killer. Then we added Rob Cavestany from Death Angel on guitar. For the vocals, you’ve got Chuck Billy from Testament, Zetro from Exodus, and Jill Janus. She’s not with us anymore, and this is some of the last music she recorded. She did it exactly how I pictured—beyond, even. She was so talented and such a star. I crank this all the time when I’m driving around in my car, and it’s my record.
