I always loved it. The guitar work was fabulous. I liked Freddie Mercury, too (to hear, not to see).
But if I ever win the lottery I’m going to pay a hit man to get whatever idiot did The Final Countdown. As far as I can determine there are only three words to the lyrics. If I hear that again I’m going to get dangerous. It’s amazing that you can sell a song that consists of yelling the same three words over and over again. It’s worse than rap.
Was watching VH1 One-hit wonders and they said that Europe opened AND closed their concerts with "The Final Countdown." Lame.
Have you ever heard the old gospel number, “Bringing In The Sheaves”? It’s enough to make the most die-hard religious fanatic take up drinking.
