RUSSIAN Reacts to Europe “The Final Countdown ” | FIRST TIME music reaction 

It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to be in a bad mood after listening to this song.

This song gets you going

Europe was huge in the 80’s. All around the world. They are Swedish and still playing today. I was a teenager back then. I STILL listen to it today. 🤙🏼 From Texas, USA 🇺🇸

They're still rocking! They celebrate 40 years this year 😎 I saw them live in cocert summer 2022, and will do it again this summer.

I love 80's rock to the core.. N this is definitely one of my top fav songs.. The best of the best.. Nothing can beat 80's rock 🤘

I think the song ended when the rocket launched to the space. That is the countdown. I remembered in the 80's how much People loved this song, specially the intro. The riff is repeated all along the song. I love this song!!! A friend of mine was always playing it. He carried his keyboard everywhere and i played the guitar. We intented to be a band and we did, played severals places when we were young and this one was the favorite of the people.

I remember that I loved this song so much I literally wore out the tape in my Walkman

The singer, Joachim "Joey Tempest", wrote the synth-intro at 17.

One of the few songs that literally whole world heard and most of the people

This song is a perfect embodiment of the 80's. Brings back so many great memories of growing up back then. I'm happy to hear you're in such a great mood, so am I after hearing this song again..

В свое время - в середине 80-х - была весьма популярной. Сейчас уже классика.

I would like to suggest Rock the Night, by Europe. It's such an energetic song, giving off good vibes. Europe is a rock band from Sweden,and Joey Tempest is the vocalist. Enjoy good music from the 80s

The band Europe is still active and touring. They are my favorite group ever. Greetings from Italy

1980s the era of Metal Hair Bands 🎸🥁 very popular genre with some of the greatest hits 👌 😀

This was a major sports anthem in America for over 20 years.

This song is often played at basketball games, and other sporting events with countdown timers, during timeouts toward the end of the game. Heck, I've even heard it echoing through the halls at work at the end of the day...followed immediately by "Closing Time". 😁 May I recommend "Next Time I Fall in Love" by Peter Cetera and Amy Grant

I am a musician and one of my bands used to play this song... So much Fun!! :)

Alot of their songs where amazing loved this group.

They still rock what a song timeless wow...guitar solo was great and thanks fr watching the video miss Russia u got stunning eyes

Good react and good channel girl. Europe is one of the greats bands un the '80 and that has transcended in time. Many new generations listen to this music, because it's really great! I hope to see more reactions soon. See you at the next, 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥

This song was adopted as anthem by my city hockey team (Hockey Club Milano 24), since the 90s 'till nowaday.

This is a Swedish group. This song was released in 1986 and written by the lead singer. Or, at least that is my understanding

Swedish rock band "Europe" released this song in the mid 1980s (1985?). "The Final Countdown" was a smash hit and was certified triple platinum (meaning it sold three million copies and counting - they often never stop selling completely at this point). A hit song like this used to promote the sales of albums pushing album sales and making a lot of money. It effectively sold the other songs on the album. In the digital age, the sales of single songs cuts into the total sales a bit reducing the income of the artist from record sales. In fact, most artists make money from merchandise sold by the band and not from ticket sales or music sales. Record labels basically take a large portion.

I go on the treadmil for an hour while listening to this song. 25 minute run and walk, and run for the last 35 minutes

Солист выглядит как ты, только красивее)

This was one of my favourite Swedish bands behind ABBA of course. Joey Tempest can still rock this out with his band. Again, it was one of the bands which I grew up with. Yes, I did have the album. You should check out "Carrie" another wonderful song from them.

From Malaysia ❣️ this song give me so muchh memory after 5 year🥺

I remeber this song being played at the club at the night of new years eve of 1999. For me it often feels like a few years ago, but as we know it´s 20+ years. Take care! And as said in the movie Demolition man: Be well! :) With best regards

So a positive power Synthesizer Rock Song.every monday before I go to work I listen to it.

I am 57 and Canadian, but when this came out in 1986....there were no boundaries in music. They were the best. Joey Tempest singing.. Carrie...absolutely made me a fan. The Scorpions were number 2 on my list and AC/DC WILL always be my favourite. No Canadian bands because except for The Guess Who and BTO..no one compares to them.

Love your reaction! You're so sweet. Our music and that from the UK and Western Europe rarely gets to Russia and even Eastern Europe. There is a whole new world of music out there for you to hear and listen too. Enjoy it!!

i was 20 in 1986 and this song was number 1 in england

Love that masterpiece classic powerfull rock, great reaction ^^

Wow I loved Europe back during the school sports events 😃 final countdown was everywhere 🤣

Awesome Song and Band they’re still Touring live

I'm surprised you didn't recognize this. It is in so many memes and even movies

So Energetic full of positive feedback

There are so many great grups, people are listening since 60 years still now. for example the Bee Gees. They wrote 1000+ songs over 4 decades and are legends!

I was a kid like 11 years old, when I hear this in 1987, but in the middle of a war in Nicaragua 🇳🇮. It brought me back memories.

One former band member, who was only with them in 1981, died in 2009. As far as I can tell, everyone else is still alive. ☺

WOW I WAS 15 WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT AND YES IT WAS VERY POPULAR, TAKES ME BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL AND SOME OF MY BUDDIES WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US.

They are alive and still kicking, touring the world

Just found your channel, great reaction. Keep up the great work. 👍👍

I never liked how the video just cuts off like that. In the album it ends with him singing "it's the final countdown....we're leaving together ohh..... we'll all miss her so.... it's the final countdown", and he sings that part hitting some high notes, just love it.

One of Europe's best rock bands. They still playling . And his voice is still good today

They are all still alive and kicking and releasing albums and touring. You have beautiful hypnotic eyes my love.

"Rock The Night" is really good also. Among several others. Swedish band.

More than 6 million copies sold Worldwide. Yeah it was huge in '86. Comparable to "Another one bites the Dust", the best selling Queen Hit Single of all time.

Always a great song, that cassette was the first one I ever bought, saving my lunch money. I still play that song on New Year's Eve, I like to listen to it at least once a year and it seems an appropriate time.

I was in my mid twenties when This song was a hit

This song makes you happy. Nuff said. (you asked how many people truly loved the song because everyone in your comments seemed to. Forget what everyone else liked. Did YOU like it. That is a great indication of what other people thought) 😄

Cool song&great review!

This song went to no.1 in 25 countries. IT TOOK THE WORLD BY STORM in 1987!!

Yes, Europe are still playing. Can't wait to see them at their 40 years anniversary tour this year!!! You should definitely react to their song "Rock The Night"!

This is an elite stadium rock song.

Irina this late 1980’s hair metal song was very popular at sporting events for it’s high energy. This includes during player introductions for the “Bad Boy’s” Detroit Pistons NBA Championship teams of that era. Хорошо Rx. Спасибо большое.

Europe came out in the 80s at the same time as BonJovi and was almost as huge the lead singer is Joey Tempest

A new generation of people were introduced to this song with the Geico commercial from a few years back.

En Chile las amamos las Rusas!!!! Que hermosas mujeres!!

Good choice Irina!

In 1987 first time I heard this single and they were a very popular Swedish band by that time, especially in post-Soviet regions.

Surprised u never heard this song... From 1986, 'The final countdown' has been used in sports events and in New Year's day celebrations all over the world... Europe debuted in 1983 from Sweden, formed by singer Joey Tempest (real name Rolf Magnus Joakim Larsson) and John Norum (guitar) and signed after winning a competition in 1982... followed by the 2nd album 'Wings of tomorrow' in 1984... Europe were signed internationally in 1986 as the line-up now featured John Leven (bass), Ian Haughland (drums) and Mic Michaeli (keyboards). 3rd album 'The Final Countdown' in 1986 was a massive hit w/ the title track becoming a global hit single... the album would sell 3x platinum (3 million copies) in the US alone and made Europe rock stars overnight in what became known as the 80's 'hair metal genre'... However, John Norum left and Kee Marcello (guitar) joined the band for the tour. MTV also played the videos for the singles 'Carrie' ... 'Cherokee'... and 'Rock the night'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘 The problem was that Europe found it impossible to produce a "Final countdown Pt. 2" as a follow up. Their 4th album 'Out of this world' in 1988 sold platinum in the US (1 million copies) but failed to score another major hit single... Europe tried again in 1991 w/ 'Prisoners in paradise'... but the 90's scene brought in the likes of Nirvana, R.E.M. and Pearl Jam... and Europe looked and sounded outdated as the album failed commercially... Exhausted by the music business, Europe split up in 1992. Europe did reunite for the millennium celebration in 1999 for a performance, but did not fully reunite until 2004 w/ guitarist John Norum in the line-up, releasing the album 'Start in the dark'... and returning to tour. Despite the smaller fanfare and having a new sound from their 80's, Europe has been recording and touring since then... Their last album was 'Walk the Earth' in 2017. Other Europe songs - 'Open your heart'... 'Sign of the times'... 'Prisoners in paradise'... 'Seven doors hotel'... 'Scream of anger'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘

That is my favorite song from Europe. You are very pretty and have very pretty eyes!

The band was in Moscow in 1987 on russian/swedish tv .

the most iconig song of all times

The official video has 1.5 Billion views so yes it is a very popular song.

Bon Jovi - "You Give Love a Bad Name" or "Livin' On a Prayer" have a bit of similar vibes. Same era.

You will be even more energetic after the guitar solo

I'd like to good memories come back from this song. I had the c and cassette it's always a pleasure to see your beautiful face young lady

Some places play this song on New Year's Eve couple minutes after midnight when you start a new year...🎉🎊🎉🎊

we would love to recommend to you the following songs for its lyrics: America - A Horse with No Name Supertramp - The Logical Song Aretha Franklin - Respect Inxs - Suicide Blonde Nina Simone - I put a spell on you

Music has no borders, even if it is in Spanish, German, French, Italian, English, Chinese, Japanese or Kazakh. The important thing is the music. That is why, as a non-English speaker, I encourage you to react to songs that are part of other places and I think your English-speaking followers will be surprised by the number of singers and styles that exist in Spain and all of Latin America (I don't like to call Latin America, it's better Hispanic America). ------------------------------ La música no tiene barreras, aunque sea en español, alemán, francés, italiano, inglés, chino, japonés o kazajo. Lo importante es la música. Es por ello que, como hablante de lengua no inglesa, te animo que reacciones a canciones que sean parte de otros lugares y creo que tus seguidores de habla inglesa les sorprenderá la cantidad de cantantes y estilos que hay en España y toda Hispanoamérica.

GRACIAS POR TU EXCELENTE MÚSICA & VÍDEO 👀📽 → SALUDOS DESDE VENEZUELA 🌎THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT MUSIC & VIDEO → HEALTHS FROM VENEZUELA

Hello..Europe is a great band...sinds the beginning...great guitarist...and the best voice of Tempest..

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby in 1979, has nothing to do with American rock culture, although it was also heard in that country (USA). And yes...I would say 60% of the planet was listening to this song "the final countdown" when it was released.

Europe is a Swedish band btw. Great song.

I cannot believe that there's a someone who first time listen this classic super famous song...

You gotta know this one. I recommend Rock The Nigh and Carrie from Europe!!

Some year's ago at work we had a Ukrainian guy with us for a week. Not one of the English would chat with him just left him there on him own. Me being half Russian know he was Eastern Europe. Got the office to let him be with me all week. I was playing rock (as i always do) he loved it. On his last day i give him a DVD full rock from the 70' up to 90's.

“She’s scary” 2:45 🤣🤣 that my friend is Mr Joey Tempest lead singer they’re all guys

the reason why this song is so popular is not only because the song is so good, but with every big sports event in America en Europe this song has been used as a theme at "the final" sports event. The " final " countdown

I was born in 1983, and The Final Countdown came out in 1986. This song was all over my childhood lol.

They are from Sweden Love from America ❤❤❤❤

I can't believe that you never heard this song and the band Europe, even if you come from Russia. This song was massive in the 1980's all around Europe, America and other parts of the world. I know that you are young but even in Russia this song was huge there, I had a Scottish mate who used to go to Russia years ago to Moscow to see his Russian friend who was a Football fan like my mate, this song was being played by Russian Teenagers. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

And that's why I pay internet 🤘

Check out 'Go', by Asia - it's not quite on this song's level, but it's from the same era and has a similarly energetic feel. Classic music video, too.

Great song choice, very cool reaction, but why is the music video so blurred? Is it because of copyright issues?

Some more timeless Master Pieces are : Blondie, Dreaming . Asia, Only Time Will Tell. Quiet Riot , Cum on Feel The Noize. Chrissy Steele, Magnet To Steel, and LILIAC'S cover of Holy Diver !

This song is played on a lot of sport events. Just to get the athletes and crowd hyped! 😁🏃‍♀

Legendary tune

until the second verse I thought it was a love song...what a pleasant surprise it wasn't

I like the commercial they did were they were watching the food in a microwave and were singing this song as the microwave hit ten seconds to go. Lol.

🌍😎😎 THIS IS ONE OF EVER GREEN ALBUM IN MY LIFE 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍

Have you listened to any UFO? Their song “Love To Love” is a must hear. Also, “Doctor, Doctor” and “Rock Bottom”. Another gem is “Profession Of Violence”!

What about the group Asia? Song Heat of the Moment?

¡¡¡¡EUROPE IS ALL!!!!

Ира-умничка. Подписался

A beautiful ballad by them off this album is Carrie.

The party anthem to the end of the 20th century!

It was SO popular in 1986 in Europe. I don't know about the US, but who cares. I remember here in Denmark that we freaked out to this song... It was a blast! 🙂
