Some fool added a sentence about it being the greatest song ever that I removed.

The song is also used somewhat as the "official song" of the Greek basketball team Aris of Thessaloniki. It is being played every time Aris wins a mach, a cup at. Should I add it? panosfidis

Why not? They have a trivia list where it fits.

BTW. There is a duplicate mention on Detroit Pistons in the trivia list.

somebody might want to add what this song's actually about... it has some interesting lyrics about leaving and all that

Cover version Once I heard a cover which was played with party cornets. It was really comic (and good too). Do you know who played that?

Trivia regarding this song: "The Final Countdown" by Europe is a reoccurring song in the television show "Arrested Development." Every time G.O.B. (George Oscar Bluth II), played by Will Arnett, performs his magic show, this song is played as his stage music. (I don't know if this type of information is of interest to readers.)

The Final Meltdown This cover is unknown to Google. Searching for "The Final Meltdown", with or without "Jay Mann", finds no relevant results. Suggest this is some weird in joke, and recommend deleting it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harlan879 (talk • contribs) 03:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deep Sunshine video

I decided to add to the trivia page a small entry about the infamous Deep Sunshine video that's being tossed around on the internet. It's the one that shows Deep Sunshine performing an out-of-tune version of TFC. I felt that it was significant enough to post because anytime I see topic on other message boards about this song, somebody eventually posts the Deep Sunshine video. Nonetheless, I addressed it as a "minor internet meme."

If somebody disagrees with the video being significant to the article, you can delete it, but I'd like to hear why.

[edit] Covers

Fuck! I have a cover by Deep Purple and Children Of Bodom also. If it's not Children of Bodom, then who the fuck was that? I still have the song. The vocals and everything are so much like Children Of Bodom. Do some research on that guys. Also see if Deep Purple did that. I have that one too.

A cover has been made by Slovenian band Laibach. PJ 18:17, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] US presidential election

I'm pretty sure that TFC was the theme song for the winning candidate in the US presidential elections '88 (Bush Sr.). I came here looking for info on that, but it's missing. Can't find any good sources right now. Anyone got better info? clacke 10:39, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] All Trivia Gone?

[edit] Best Worst Metal Songs Ever?
