A-Ha is a Norwegian new wave band that was most popular in the UK and the USA during the 1980s, but continued to be globally successful in the 1990s and 2000s. The trio, composed of lead vocalist Morten Harket, guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoyand keyboardist Magne Furuholmen, formed in 1983 and left Norwayfor London in order to make a career in the music business. The origin of the name a-ha comes from the lyric of an early song. After checking dictionaries in several languages, they found out that 'a-ha' was an international way of expressing recognition, with positive connotations. It was short, a-ha was easy to say and somewhat unusual.

Cold River Lyrics
A-Ha
(pal waaktaar/lauren savoy)
I took a ride in an automobile
Pushed my hands out against the wheel
Asked a girl if she needed a ride
She said, sure, babe, but I wanna drive
Hey now, wait awhile
Were going down with a smile
Cold river -- she took me down
Cold river -- she took my pride
Had to stop on account of the storm
Seemed like years since Id been warm
We drove all night till the tires blew
Got in the back and did what you do
Hey now, wait awhile
Were going down with a smile
Cold river -- she took me down
Cold river -- she took my pride
On a sunny day
On a sunny day
(she took my pride)
All the money you made
Did you need it, babe
