A-Ha - "Take On Me" (The Starkiller's Rum & Coke Aha-Erlebnis)

Trading the upbeat pulse of the original for a swaying rhythm and authentic Caribbean music vibe, Starkiller Records create a moment for you to lounge in their remix of A-Ha's "Take On Me". Shake your cocktail maker. It's the special feeling you get from Tom Cruise in the movie Cocktail. Forget business school, you can always mix it up in the Caribbean...
