One evening while working out at the gym, I heard the unmistakable opening keyboard riff of the a-Ha tune “Take On Me” on the gym’s stereo system. However, the music seemed slower and choppier, and then some non-Norwegian guy came on the song and started rapping.
The next time at the gym, I recognized the distinctive theme from the Suzanne Vega hit “Tom’s Diner” coming from the stereo, except it was being hummed by a strange male chorus, followed by a screeching guitar and an even screechier vocal.
