The origin of the name "a-ha" comes from the lyrics of an early song ("Nothing To It"). 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, easy to say and unusual.Back in the 80s when I first discovered a-ha they were the ultimate band lah. This YouTube feature is a collection of their greatest hit.
