Dot the I​a-ha

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy Morten Harket Magne Furuholmen

Producer: ​a-ha

Dot the I
Stretch your lips and smile
Let the world run by

Be the fool
Tomorrow morning's here
And I'm all nonsense, dear

I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen to me

Dot the I
Trust your kite to fly
I could lend you mine

Spot the gag
Tick it, tock it, light a fag
Pass it on to me

I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen, you see

I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen to me

I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen, you see

I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen to me

Dot the I
Count to three and sigh
I need you to dot the I

​a-ha

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
