This video shows A group of North Korean accordion players covering Take On Me. Who would have thought A-Ha had reached the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea?!?
This is just about the best cover of Take On Me I have ever heard. No, scrub that, this is the best cover of any song I have ever heard. It’s awesome, and really well choreographed.
This shows that North Korea is just another country, and its people are just like me and you. So the political system they live under is vastly different, but the people are not.
I have to say, though it’s probably not very PC of me, that I do like the comment on YouTube. Just as they finish playing you can hear a phone ringing, and someone joked that was probably “Kim Jong-un letting them know their families were killed because they played western music.”
