It's The Final Countdown!

I don't know if these guys are trying to be bad or not.

But they are really very awful.

For some reason, Europe's "The Final Countdown" is amazingly well known - does anyone know why? Who ever was in charge of marketing and promotion for Europe must have been a genius. This song's been used everywhere from Olympic Skating to Arrested Development. Trey Anastasio even did a lousy cover of it.

Full disclosure - Europe's The Final Countdown was the first compact disc I ever bought. The salesman who sold me my CD player convinced me to buy it for the "sound quality."
