[edit] Video

Touchy!

Director: Kevin Moloney

This video was filmed in Deauville and Paris, France. One of the few ‘happy' a-ha songs, fans have mixed reviews over its detour from the typical melancholic nature of the band's music. The video features synchronized swimming, which was a recently added Olympic sport at that point. Songwriting credits for ‘Touchy!' go to all three band members.
