You Know, Looking Back On It...

I guess 5 long-haired Swedish guys playing bombastic pop-metal and singing a song about the Cherokee Indians was probably a tad corny.

Sorry, I just flipped on Metal Mania on VH-1 Classic and Europe's video for Cherokee hit me square in the face. I was ill-prepared.

Coincidentally, I discovered today that the band released an album late last year.
www.europetheband.com

Of all the bands I had a chance to meet back in the day (not that many, but still), these guys were easily the biggest bunch of jerks of the lot of them.

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)
Ooh ooh oh


Bad song writing at its best.

Unless you're really into egomaniacs who think women are sort of their devine right by virtue of their status as a Rock God, I don't think you would have liked him up close nearly as well as you did from a distance.
