"Take On Me" is the fourth track on "Weezer (The Teal Album)". It was originally written by Norwegian Synthpop Band A-ha and released in 1984. It was used in the soundtrack for the third Spongebob movie, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run [1], alongside an original track performed by the band called It's Always Summer in Bikini Bottom.

Music Video

The music video, directed by Carrick Moore Gerety, was released on February 12, 2019 and stars actor Finn Wolfhard portraying a teenage Rivers Cuomo. Wolfhard's bandmates from his real-life band Calpurnia portray Cuomo's bandmates in the band Avant Garde. Avant Garde's eventual name, Zoom, is also referenced. Like the original A-ha music video, the video also features pencil-drawn, rotoscoped animation over live action footage.

Lyrics

Talking away
Though I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love. OK?

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
"It's no better to be safe than sorry"

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh, things that you say, yeah
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
Well I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone (take on me)
In a day (take on me)
