"The Final Countdown" is a song by the Swedish #rock band #Europe, released in 1986. Written by their lead singer #JoeyTempest, it was based on a keyboard riff he made in the early 1980s, with lyrics inspired by #DavidBowie's "#SpaceOddity". Originally intended only to be a concert opener, it is the first single and title track from the band's studio album of the same name. The #musicVideo by #NickMorris, made to promote the single.
