I stopped watching when I saw it was 10 minutes long.

As an aside, I remember listening to XM a year or so ago. It was Eddie Trunk's show on 41, the Boneyard. Anyway, I had *just* turned it on:

Eddie: Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for - the return of (at this point at was like, woah...this might be really cool) EUROPE!! (cool bubble popped)

Crowd: Woo. (It sounded like there were maybe 50 people there, if that)

After that show, and a few others, I realized that Eddie Trunk = massive fail.

Finally, the unfunny, uncreative TFers who post this in every thread for hours on end can address the criticism that they post the same thing over and over again by mixing it up a little.

At least Laibach's cover was in there. They made that song kick ass.

What's the name of the band that does "that" version?

I just came here to make sure Laibach was in there.
Not disappointed.

Ant:What's the name of the band that does "that" version?

Deep Sunshine. I had no idea they had a name and I shall immediately kill myself for listening to that crap long enough to get to it because I wanted to know who they were too.

Some impressions:

I enjoyed the picture of Danii Minogue

Wow, Joey Tempest really sucks

Furillo sounds like fun, but I bet it gets old really really fast.

Ditto Eläkeläiset

I wish marching bands would stick to Sousa


Scott Davis - the food court will close in 30 minutes

Say what you want about crappy American pop music, at least we never had something as bad as crazy frog

WTF was up with the last one?

The rest was pretty much forgettable.

Useless without this version, which by far the best version ever:

not a great version, no... but Joey Tempest is the guy who wrote and sang the original, so he can do whatever the fark he wants to with it.

 
MikoSquiz 2008-07-08 08:08:03 PM  
Actually, Eläkeläiset only get really fun about 45 minutes into their gigs or so. If they stay conscious that long, they've always had about a fifth of vodka each by the time they hit the stage and keep going.

They played a 24h mobile gig on a trailer being dragged around a festival once, although the various people who have been in the band had to take it in turns because there's no way you can stay conscious while that drunk for 24h.

George Oscar Bluth II from Arrested Development.

He has an affinity for "The Final Countdown"... just like I did many years ago... just like I do now...

Was hoping they got the Furillo version in.

Great Milenko: It's a decent track, if you can stand Reel Big Fish (tall order for many people) they're pretty similar

tgregory: They aren't gay, just Danish (second time I've been able to use that line lately)

 
The Glass Dragon 2008-07-09 09:08:17 AM  
I farking love that song. I don't care if it's cheesy, I rock out to it every time I hear it.

Sang it once karaoke, too. THAT was funny as hell.
