Most awesomely bad metal song
Just watched the end of VH1’s Most Awesomely Bad Metal Songs … Ever. And the winner was … yes! The Final Countdown, by my compatriots Europe.
You can already hear that damned synthesizer riff, can’t you? Dah-dah-DAH-DAH! And now it will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Sorry about that.
Watching the show did bring back a lot of atrocious 80s poodle metal I had successfully managed to repress. Including Winger. Remember Winger? Shudder
