Unless you've been living in the DPRK, you probably have seen or heard about some kind of strange and funny
North Korean videos. Most of the time they feature young kids playing and singing traditional folk tunes or patriotic songs. But now all the way from the Kum Song School in Pyongyang, we have a group of accordion students playing
A-Ha's big 80s hit "
Take on Me":
This performance is a part of "The Promised Land" project by director and artist Morten Traavik. You can read more about this production at
Traavik.info Creative Intelligence Agency and at
Barents Spektakel 2012.
UPDATE: Some readers have already written in and Anna from Tokyo wrote: "Didja notice how the phone rang immediately after they finished the song? Probably it was the new Best Kim (aka "
The Young-Un" and "
Kim Jong Iliberace")
demanding their immediate arrest and incarceration for playing that "foreign devil's music."
We also have an update from the almighty
Taro, the lame who says "Japan is always better than Korea! See irrefutable proof":
And, obviously, that is correct as everyone knows that the Japanese are superior to all other humans. But don't forget that
Pyongyang North Korea is ‘better’ than Tokyo!
