| 1456761 | 2018-12-24 05:56:00 | Both you guys are right on ... the morons who decided a song about nuclear war :) What? Lyrics: 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? It's the final countdown The final countdown Oh We're heading for Venus (Venus) And still we stand tall 'Cause maybe they've seen us (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 It's the final countdown The final countdown The final countdown The final countdown Oh The final countdown, oh It's the final count down The final countdown The final countdown The final countdown Oh It's the final count down We're leaving together The final count down We'll all miss her so It's the final countdown It's the final countdown Oh It's the final countdown, yeah Songwriters: Joey Tempest The Final Countdown lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC The song's lyrics were inspired by David Bowie's song "Space Oddity". |

| 1456762 | 2018-12-24 06:21:00 | What? My take on this is; Earth was rendered uninhabitable after ... a nuclear war ... and a selected few survivors are about to embark in a spaceship in a search for a new more hospitable planet on which to live. The "final countdown" therefore is 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - etc before the spaceship lifts off. So the tie to a nuclear war is valid. :) |

| 1456763 | 2018-12-24 06:34:00 | Quora says; According to Songfact, the song's lyrics, inspired by Bowie's Space Oddity, are apocalyptic and optimistic, describing a trip to Venus. When Europe lead singer Joey Tempest was asked about it, he explained: "I had the demo without vocals, and I was singing it over and over again. The music was almost like a soundtrack to a movie, about leaving Earth, and that the Earth was spent. And one day, we'll probably have to leave this place. It was kind of a dream-like lyric, but that was the backdrop for it." Note Songfact calls it apocalyptic. Either/or ... it's still a weird song for Christmas, and whomever signed that off at Countdown needs their heads read. |
