A-ha, "Slender Frame"




"Hot damn," wrote an audiophile, "You and my wife keep telling me that A-ha is so much more than 'Take On Me.' And even better, too."

Late in 1990, petite curly blonde Andrea lived in the triple room next to my dorm room. During the day, Andrea loved being with her two roommates. However, both had boyfriends, while Andrea did not. Thus, at nights, Andrea often got sexiled. Staying in my room was the most convenient.

Andrea loved A-ha's "Slender Frame." We weren't sure if the lead singer was telling the lover to leave, or if the two were going to run away together.



Andrea had a slender, but not skinny, frame. Which was fortunate for me, when we slept on the narrow Twin XL bed. Andrea may have been the only one in the entire dorm, to wear a nightgown. The others were too lazy, to add more laundry, so they slept in underwear, t-shirt, or PJs, but not a nightgown. At least for me, A-ha's "Slender Frame" evoked images of Andrea in her nightgown. But anyway, she and I would go to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. During the school year, rides were open only on weekends. We'd go, and when Andrea asked which was my favorite ride, it wasn't the Giant Dipper or log run. Rather, it was the overhead Sky Glider. She and I would go on it, and, whether or not we talked about music, I told her that I could ride the Sky Glider all day, and absorb the wonderful aerial views.

Also while on the Sky Glider, Andrea remarked that A-ha were so much more than "Take On Me." But because UCSC was predominantly wannabe hippies into alt-rock, they did not like A-ha. Andrea then remarked that, while overhearing her roommates having sex was gross, "I'd be worried, if they weren't having sex."

But hey, A-ha's "Slender Frame" is yet another Sky Glider, waiting to show audiophiles nice views. But on the Sky Glider, your feet dangle, so don't lose your slippers!
