Weezerâs chintzy The Teal Album, a vapid covers collection born out of their âAfricaâ success, isnât good for much, but it did give us the gift that is Finn Wolfhard with Bon Jovi hair, and for that weâre eternally grateful. The Stranger Things breakout stars in the new video for Weezerâs riff on a-haâs âTake On Me,â in which he plays an angsty, teenage version of the bandâs Rivers Cuomo.
Joining Wolfhard is the young actorâs own band, Calpurnia, whose debut EP, Scout, dropped last year. Together, the foursome have a blast lip-syncing the track as the rotoscoping illustration techniques that define a-haâs original video sketch in and out if the frame.
Fun fact: This isnât Wolfhardâs first music video. As a wee tyke, he flexed an axe in PUPâs âSleep In The Heatâ visual. Another fun fact: The above clip takes place in 1985, the same year as Stranger Thingsâ upcoming third season. Fingers crossed that Mike Wheeler is also going through a Norwegian pop phase. Weâre not ready to part with that hair.
