Take On La Vida: a-ha vs. coldplay (UPDATED)

(UPDATE: balanced the vocal track but on mp3 only)

So I've recently got into mashups, they're so much fun to listen that I had to try it. I'm a super newb (just started this week) but here's my first humble attempt. It's not perfect but you get the general idea. Two great bands, a classic song injected with the new!

Beautiful.

One problem though: Once it gets to the "I hear Jerusalem Bells a ringin'" part, the volume just goes apeshit and you can't hear Morton Harket's vocals. Fix, NAO.

[tedkimchee]

Yeah, it's pretty rough I agree ;)

(con't) Velvet should have done for them what Ordinary World did for Duran Duran. Most a-ha albums are inconsistant but all of them have some total gems.

[tedkimchee]

Agreed! Looking forward to the new album!

[seraphlaim]

not as good as the clocks one but ok. after hearing the clocks/take on me mashup i basically decided martin had ripped the song off. It was too perfect. Also a friend of mine pointed out that keane is todays air supply. i think these vids prove coldplay is todays a-ha.

[tedkimchee]

Well, Martin has always said he's a big a-ha fan so I suppose the influence definitely seeps in!

Why dont you edit the video and make it stop at 3:50....we dont need 2 minutes of silence...

[SVSfootballman09]

so your saying if A-ha came out before coldplay they are better? in that case, any band older than A-ha is better then them.

what first the egg or the hen????

[SVSfootballman09]

fuck you. they are both awesome.

[8dakini8]

coldplay is boring

A-HA IS THE BEST, IS SO ORIGINAL AND DIFERENT, ARE UNIQUE

a-ha é maravilhoso é a melhor banda,
