Title: The Final Countdown
Post by: wh on October 31, 2015, 12:53:12 AM
One of the Top 10 songs played at sporting events is The Final Countdown by Europe. I would love to see it used as the players break the huddle and head for center court for the opening tip. Believe me it revs up a crowd like nothing else can. Put on some headphones, turn up the volume, and give it a listen :):

I'm a Thunderstruck kind of guy myself, but that's pretty darn good too.

By the way, a buddy of mine always wished Gilmour would have gone as high in that solo on the original studio album as he went in that clip in your signature block.

I am recently tired of that song thanks to a Geico commercial playing it over and over again during the MLB playoffs and World Series, but it would still probably work.

It will remind me of GEICO and a microwave clock counting down more than it will Valpo MBB! :-)
