    • Trivia
      A-Ha is responsible for the "ripped jeans" fashion trend of 1985. Lead singer Morten Harket was the originator of this trend due to a slight mishap, he mistakenly tore the front of his jeans on a Marshall amplifier while rushing to the stage during a performance. Afterwards, he remarked "Ouch!I just didn't see those". In future performances he used razor blades to achieve the same effect.
