"We were trying to think of what to call themselves, focusing on Norwegian words people could say in English." They jettisoned that idea. "It was a terrible song but a great name," says Morten. They chose the studio of musician and soon-to-be-manager John Ratcliff because it had a Space Invaders machine. John Ratcliff introduced them to his manager, Terry Slater, after a few meetings, A-ha enlisted Ratcliff as a manager as well. Slater and Ratcliff formed TJ Management. Ratcliff dealt with technical and musical aspects and Slater acted as the group's international business manager and as liaison to Warner Brothers' head office in Los Angeles.

At that time, the song was called "Miss Eerie", the two men were still known as Bridges. Morten stated it sounded more like a " Juicy fruit song " for a gum advert - It was renamed "Lesson One" when it was first recorded by A-ha.
