Today's song is The Final Countdown by Europe. For some strange reason, this song has been stuck in my head for about 3 - 4 days now. Not necessarily the beat and the lyrics, but just the name of it. So here we are, posting about it.

I actually really like this song. One of my top favorites of all time. It's super catchy as we all know and is played at sporting events and many other things. It's a song that almost everyone recognizes and does so instantly.

I certainly miss these days of great 80's music from the great hairbands of that time. Do you have any song that's like that for you?

[Verse 1]
We're leaving together, but still, it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back to Earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (Leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?

[Chorus]
It's the final countdown
The final countdown

[Verse 2]
Oh-oh, we're heading for Venus (Venus)
And still, we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all, yeah
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (To be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so

[Chorus]
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (Final countdown)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-ohh
