A-Ha made two versions of this song. The first and 'original' was indeed released in 1984, but it failed to chart. It wasn't until they reworked the song and released another version, that it reached the charts in 1985. The video you have attached if from the most famous 'second version'. For that reason, I think it should be placed in the 1985 - 1989 category.
Don't worry though. It's an awesome song and I
promise you now, that I will second it as soon as you nominate it in thread 9....
