"The Final Countdown"

"The Final Countdown" is such a legendary song, a real classic! This was performed by the Swedish Rock Band Europe and written by Joey Tempest released in 1986.This song reached no. 1 in 25 countries. The song's lyrics were inspired by David Bowie's song "Space Oddity" .This song became extremely popular in sports arenas and stadiums everywhere.

This was also such a hit in South Africa back in the 80's , but not only was it just a big hit , it's a really good song. After not hearing it for a while a couple of years ago, I heard it again on the wireless AKA radio and I remembered again how great it was, so I managed to get hold of the ringtone for my phone. So I had this on my cell phone for a period of time, it worked well. I find this another good running track , very motivational and obviously the reason why it was used in sports arenas and stadiums. Don't think much about the lyrics , just enjoy a good song!.
