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.

Keeper of The Flame Lyrics
A-Ha
Words and music by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy
Give it up for rock'n roll
Give it up for rock
Give it up for how it made you feel
Give it up for vinyl days
Kicking back from school
Turning out to make it real sweet
Give it up for rock'nroll
Give it up for bob
Give it up for how it made you see
Give it up for silvertone
Give it up for golden
Adolescent daydreams
Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
A plan evolves too grand to entertain
Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You could've been the keeper of the flame
Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
Swallowed by the place from which you came
Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You should've been the keeper of the flame
Give it up for summer days
Laying in the grass
Everything is happening in your head
You raise your fist up in the air
Clench your teeth and say
Four more years and I'm outa here
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Four more years and I am outa here!
