Spectacular song. Spectacular hair. Great to see the boys having so much fun. Reminds me of the joy they got from Celine Dion's powerhouse songs. Thanks to everyone who made this week happen.
I see the Swedish ladies down there talking about the crush they had when growing up, I can tell you that as a impressionable 12 yo girl growing up in the 80's and in Spain, I vividly remember myself watching their videos and thinking he was the most gorgeous man on earth... now I see the mega white teeth and the orange tan and I'm kind of horrified 😃 Ah, the teenage years!
I ❤ Swedish Vikings! They were world famous in the 80s and 90s. They formed the band in 9th grade in elementary school in Åkersberga just north of Stockholm. The "blond beauty" is Joakim Larsson (aka Joey Tempest), and he also wrote most of the hits. ❤🇸🇪❤️🔥
This is The Song of the 80s, an absolute classic. Also, this made me think I'd really like to see those 80's hair styles back on trend, they look so majestic.
It's not exactly the same hairstyle, but look at Tommy Johansson, also Swedish with long hair playing rock. Great metal guitarist, multi instrumentalist, singer, composer, producer, and video editor! Tommy has hus own RUclips channel doing covers of rockhits from the 80s and 90s!
Fun Fact: Joey Tempest, the lead singer of Europe, has mentioned in interviews that recording “The Final Countdown” was tough, and that they finally got it right on their last try!! They had a hard time nailing the sound they wanted, especially with that famous keyboard riff that was just supposed to be an intro for their live shows. Turning it into a full song took a lot of work. But in that last attempt, everything just clicked, and they pulled it off, making the epic track we know today❤️
02:22 he says it very dirty... and bro was darn handsome. 05:48 me: increasing volume to 95 procent (That solo is epic, legend,gold). #Fame was fun then,...... love you Liam, x
Great Reaction!! They have so many other great songs The building you see just before the guitar solo, is Stockholm City Hall where the Nobel Dinner is happening every year 10th of December. On the roof, you could also see the three crowns. That's the symbol for Sweden. Three crowns. each having three spikes, in an upside down pyramid.
How European you want to be...Ion... maybe our band should be named as EUROPE. And why not playing the extended version tho They should pick Carrie instead of Final countdown ...

As a woman growing up in Sweden during the 80´s, there was no hotter man on the planet than Joey Tempest!
Indeed, our very own teenage celebrity crush! 😂
Their other success was a 80's rock ballad called "Carrie"
This album is bangers from start to end 😉

Other songs by Europe? Rock the Night, Superstitious, Carrie, Cherokee, Time has Come, I’ll Cry for You… there are many
They actually are not one hit wonder. Many great songs.
Hi these guys are from Stockholm, Sweden! 😂
Hair bands were the best! And you are right, they are absolutely goergous.
You should make a review for the “Carrie”song of Europe too!It’s a great ballad and in this video Joey Tempest looking so good!!!
Back in the mid-late 80s, Europe were just as big as Bon Jovi in terms of metal bands in Taiwan.

I love comments like these. Thank you!
If you sit still to this song, you must be dead. 😁
You guys could play a tiny clip of the chorus before the final week of each year.🎆🎆🎇

You’re correct. It stopped short
Great Reaction!! They have so many other great songs

Yes, the song in the video is cut at the end
Loved this week, every song was perfect!
Someone has to make an Australian week, just to please Mike
Kylie Minogue is Australian..
Lead singer could be a model at that time!
Great week!
This song kind of makes me want a Queen week or Guns n' Roses week
It's not "I'm leaving forever". It's the final countdown!!! We're leaving together!
The thing I've noticed about these 80s songs, apart from Message In A Bottle, is that they all had extremely long intros.
How European you want to be...Ion... maybe our band should be named as EUROPE. And why not playing the extended version tho
They should pick Carrie instead of Final countdown ...
the ultimate hype song?
This was the first record I ever bought with my own money 😂
the pivotal of the 80s😍
You guys are hilarious
how would a band called Europe be from the US or Australia, really?
LOL. That is all I'm going to say about this being #1 😅
Its another course..they cut it off.
cool
