[edit] The Video a-ha in Space
- Directed by Philip Stölzl
- The special effects of this video made some fans question if the real lunar landing had ever occurred - in jest!
- This video was filmed in an abandoned mine in Prague, Czech Republic.
- The suits worn by a-ha in this video were reproductions of real lunar suits. They had been originally used in the movie "Apollo 13."
- The theme of this video is based in reality; Paul and Magne have always complained that Morten is late to every meeting and concert and interview. In this video they thought it would be fun to leave him behind.
- For the "Minor Earth | Major Tour" this was the first song on the setlist.
The song reached #1 in 3 European nations.
