Topmodelz with a Z

I don't really know what releasing a techno cover of "Take on Me" accomplishes. It's already a synth-heavy dance song.

But you can't get between Germans and their techno. The duo Topmodelz (does Tyra know about them?) obviously felt the need to release it as a single. Lord knows why. Sure, adding some thumping bass never hurt anyone, but if you don't have anything new to say, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all. But that brings up the whole argument of the merit of covers in general, and do i really want to get into that now? The answer to that question is no.

Because I love you, I won't embed, but if you really feel the need to hear it, here's the link. Silly Germans are silly.



Sorry. But you knew what we were getting into with the "Take on Me" promise. It was bound to turn up a few clunkers.
