Shapes That Go Together is a song by Norwegian band A-ha. ==Background== When a new A-ha album did not appear, and solo albums began to be released, it was feared that this was to be A-ha's last song. Ironically entitled "Shapes That Go Together", there was a significant amount of discord within the band at the time of the song's release. This single was the official song of the Paralympics '94 which was held at Lillehammer, Norway. The single was written by Magne Furuholmen and Pål Waaktaar, who from now onwards refers to himself as Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, produced by Christopher Neil and arranged by A-ha and Kjetil Bjerkestrand. This song was released in February 1994. It reached #27 on the charts in the UK, and was in the charts for three weeks total. Also reached #57 in Germany, #28 in Poland and #15 in Denmark. The single was not released on an album until 10 years later, when it was placed onto ''The Singles: 1984-2004'' hits album and a year later appearing on the UK version ''The Definitive Singles Collection 1984-2004'' which is practically the same album with just a few track differences. The song, as well as its B-side "Cold As Stone", is also placed in the new compilation ''25''. The German-made disc is silver and green depicting the Paralympics emblem, while the A-ha-logo and track listings are printed in white letters. It has sold 275,000 copies worldwide. The second 5" CD-single is a limited edition numbered CD. It comes in an album style case with a card insert. The front is in various shades of pinks and purples instead of greens and blues, but has the same cover design. It contains three 4½" × 4½" photographic prints, one of each band member (taken from the video "Dark Is The Night"). The spine is black with white titles. The CD is silver `matte effect' with black titles and A-ha-logo. The back cover of the CD is black with white text and has the same group picture as on the back of the 7". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shapes That Go Together」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
