"On December 6 1986, Europe were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'The Final Countdown'. They became only the second Swedish act to score a UK No.1. The song reached No.1 in 25 countries and the song's lyrics were inspired by David Bowie's song 'Space Oddity'"

The name did not ring a bell but once I started watching...partly because we were in Turkey in 1986 with no access to US radio except in the office.

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the official music video Europe performing "The Final Countdown"
"The Final Countdown" written by John Higgins, Joey Tempest
Lyrics
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
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.
We're heading for Venus (Venus).
And still we stand tall.
'Cause maybe they've 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.
It's the final countdown.
The final countdown.
The final countdown.
It's the final countdown.
We're leaving together.
The final countdown.
We'll all miss her so.
It's the final countdown.
It's the final countdown."
