"IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!"
(repeat several times).
I don't think that this was the intended reference. But if it was... mad props to Adam and his knowledge of that one song by that one band called Europe.

The Slade version, of course ...zingmaster wrote:What are you blabbering about?! Of course it makes great New Year's music! Then immediately segue into Auld Lang Syne once the new year rolls in.Adam Arnold wrote:Though, it doesn't really make for good New Year's music.

Who cares? It still rocks. Besides, did you ever see a rocket take off? Pretty impressive in my book.Sargon wrote:Plus, do you know what the song is about? It's about a rocket. A stupid rocket. The lyrics, over-produced orchestration and apocalyptic trumpets make it sound like the world is ending, and the song is about a stupid-a** rocket.
Ummm... you do realize that Europe actually are from Sweden, don't you? Last time I checked that country was still part of Europe.And what was the deal with 80s bands naming themselves after foreign cities and continents? There's Europe, Asia, and I heard that Motley Crüe was originally named Paris.

That coming from someone with the nickname "Sargon" ...Sargon wrote:I guess Europe can be exempted from stupid 80s band names, seeing as they are European, but that doesn't make it much better. It's still a band naming themselves after a continent, and the effect is overblown and ridiculous.59cobalt wrote:Who cares? It still rocks. Besides, did you ever see a rocket take off?

For those who didn't know: "Sargon" comes from Akkadian "Å arru-kinu", which means "the true king".
Feh. The song still beats a good 95% of what's in the charts nowadays. Hands down.And the song (and its stupid synth trumpet fanfare) don't "rock." The correct term is "exude lameness." I wouldn't say The Final Countdown is the lamest song I've ever heard (only Captain and Tenille's Muskrat Love can claim that title) but it definitely makes the short list.
