    Joey Tempest, the singer, wrote this song. The keyboard intro was used at a night club in Sweden before it became a song. The guitar and drums have a UFO (the band) influence. You need to listen to their new albums, they all rock, especially War of Kings.

    The disarming beauty of Joey and the other guys certainly helped but they had and still have a crazy talent! I love this band !! Even today they are still in business ... rock Forever 🤟

      Completly agree ...they are EXTREMLY TALENTED...not properly supported by USA music industry after 90s...but quality won!! Now they are independent and succesfull!!

    They're from Sweden. They did 5 albums 1983-1991 and 6 albums 2004-2017. React to "Rock The Night" and "Superstitious"! Since 2004 they do "less poppy" rock.

    • @lethayle3388

      Might add in that they started as a heavy metal band. Their debut album is pure classic heavy metal. Even their second album is mostly heavy metal.

    The story goes that the lead singer, Joey wrote the opening sequence when he was about 14 but didn’t do anything with it. Then about 3 or 3 years later, they were working on songs for this album and he played it for the bass player who told him he should finish the song. So he did but it was never meant to be a single. It was supposed to be just an album track and they planned to use it in their live shows to open with. The song was too long for a single anyway. But then when it came time to choose a debut single, they chose this one. They just thought it was a cool song to play live. But the song hit the airwaves and ended up going #1 in 45 different countries. They are still making new music and playing live and yes, they play this song to end every show. They love playing it because of the energy the crowd has. You should check out more of their stuff. Each album sounds different yet still sounds like them. They have a unique flavor that’s always there. Oh and their lives shows, even now are awesome.

    This song was originally made for the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger (first shuttle disaster) in the 80’s. The lyrics pertain to space travel and the band dedicated the song to the Challenger crew.

    • @doomhunter697
      @doomhunter697 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Odd, since the earliest version was recorded (1985) before the disaster (1986). Actually, it was inspired by Bowie's Space Oddity.

    • @roaringviking5693
      @roaringviking5693 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is false. Joey Tempest originally wrote the keyboard riff as an opening fanfare for a discoteque. At the time he had no intention to use it for a Europe song (I imagine it would have been too much pop since Europe was a harder rocking band in the beginning) but he later recinsidered and used it for The Final Countdown.

    It's kind of a "breakup" - but this is humanity "breaking up" with Earth in favor of a new home planet. The "final countdown" is a spaceship. The "they" who will hopefully welcome us are the current inhabitants of whatever planet we end up on - but we'll still miss "her" (Mother Earth).

    The song is about leaving earth and looking for another planet to live on maybe venus. Its not about breaking up a relationship, just listen too the words instead of stopping it and talking about your American football team that has absolutely nothing to do with football which is a game that you kick the ball with your legs and scoring goals. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️👮‍♂️👮‍♂️👮‍♂️👮‍♂️🚓🚔🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
