Today continues our countdown of Marooned songs with…
Marooned Song #9: The Final Countdown!
To have a mission to Mars, you must first count down and take off, right? What a great song from the hair band days. But this one truly fits a mission to leave Earth.
Lyrics:
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
Will things ever be the same again?
It’s the final countdown
The final countdown
Ohh
We’re heading for Venus and still we stand tall
‘Cause maybe they’ve seen us and welcome us all, yea
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)
Ohh ho ohh
The final countdown, oh ho
It’s the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh
It’s the final countdown
We’re leaving together
The final countdown
We’ll all miss her so
It’s the final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh, it’s the final countdown
Yea




Nice, that song is awesome.
But I can’t hear this song anymore without thinking of Gob from Arrested Development

Ha, I didn’t watch much of that show, but I saw that episode. Hilarious!
i really hope you’ll add some glam metal songs, too.
Well, I can’t give out any spoilers! But if you have suggestions, let’s hear em.
dunno. anything from whitesnake from their ’80s era?
or how about avantasia – lost in space? catchy.
Well, we’ll have to wait and see!
just remembered some of my favs. here:
- ‘maiden – stranger in a strange land.
- van halen – 1984
- dream theater – another day
- firehouse – home is where the heart is
- mötley crüe – in the beginning
these are not so glammy, but still good:
- tangerine dream – choronzon
- tom dissevelt&kid baltan – song of the 2nd moon – the sonic vibrations
- space – final signal
All cool stuff!
