Episode 23: Morten Harket's best vocal performances - voted for by the fans

‘You said that you were weak and I was strong / But I wasn’t strong enough / To let you rank’

Dear a-ha friends,

We wanted to celebrate Morten and his amazing voice, we asked for your help, and you delivered!

So here they are: Morten Harket’s 30 best vocal performances as voted for by you, the listeners of a-ha: Ranking Highs and Lows - all nicely packaged in almost 3 hours of Morten (and a-ha) madness!

Apart from featuring the top 30 incredible performances by Morten, this episode also asks (and partially answers) the following questions:

Is it annoying if someone sings the menu at a restaurant?
Are Danes generally just smarter?
What’s easier to create: A poll or a Pål?
Does JP really never get any phone calls?
Did we break the record for most frequent use of the word “goosebumps” in a single podcast episode?
How many pushups can Jesper do in one set (according to himself)?
Are we more a Miranda or a Samantha?
Does ChatGPT do Peter’s homework?
Is there an interlude?
How many foreign names did we mispronounce?
Can anyone hold a single note for 6 minutes?
And much, much more...

It’s been an absolute pleasure and a lot of fun making this episode, reading all your thoughtful comments, and now sharing the results with you. We owe you all a big thank you for taking part in the voting and/or listening to the episode. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as we did!

Remember to like and share the podcast if you think it could be interesting for other fans. And let’s continue to make this 40-year anniversary of Hunting High and Low a special one and keep celebrating the wonderful music of a-ha.

All the best,

JP, Jesper and Peter the Producer
