The Final Countdown (song)

Rare card · No. 44244

"The Final Countdown" is a song by the Swedish rock band Europe, released in 1986. It was the debut single from the studio album of the same name, and became a global hit though the band was uncertain about the song due to it being somewhat atypical of their previous more aggressive, guitar oriented sound. The music video by Nick Morris, made to promote the single, has received over 1.4 billion views on YouTube. "The Final Countdown" was based on a keyboard riff the band's vocalist Joey Tempest wrote in the early 1980s, with lyrics inspired by David Bowie's "Space Oddity". The song "Pictures", from the 2017 album Walk the Earth, is a sequel to "The Final Countdown".
