          My two faves by them are Manhattan Skyline (espesh the 12" version) and Cry Wolf, the first record I played on my then-new HiFi

            A-ha was a one hit wonder in the US with 'Take on me', maybe because of the iconic video.

                        I love Japanese Boy as well - I always felt "special" when I heard it as a child.

                            Yes it's a quirky song, The Vapors had a hit with Turning Japanese a year earlier.

                                The original version was "Pass the Kutchie" (joint) but a bit of last-minute editing took place.
