- The two musicians, Pål Waaktar and Magne Furuholmen had a band before they joined with Morten Harket in 1983. The band was called "Bridges" and made a record in 1981.

- That their breakthrough song "Take on me" was originally called "Lesson One".

- That "Take on me" was released twice before they made the video we all know - and that was it!

I could go on but let's see what others know ;)

A-ha supplied the soundtrack to the James Bond flick The Living Daylights.

Guitarist Paal Waaktaar and keyboardist Magne "Mags" Furuholmen had been playing together in bands with ominous monikers like Black Day and Spider Empire since they were pre-teens

That Pål changed his name to Paul after getting sick of being called Pal in the States :D

Too bad that a-ha had dropped the original b-side "Stop! And Make Your Mind Up" from the "Take On Me" single...on the version which made the breakthrough, this little upbeat synthpop tune was replaced by "Train Of Thought".
