Had to watch it twice.

At first I was like....

It's really not as good as this one (and no, it's not the out-of-tune teenagers). This really IS the best cover of The Final Countdown that you'll see all year:

The Final Countdown

At first, I was like....WTF?

Then I was like....DUDE, WTF?

Jesus Christ... that solo kicked ass

Hiro Nakamura: Do cello players always rock the fukc out like that?

Obviously not, if you watch the smug grins on the "real musicians" behind them.

That's actually the original version.

Reminds me of Jozin z bazin

here's Eläkeläiset covering Kraftwerk. check out the crowd, people moshing and shiat.

The lead singer is how I imagined TMLO's face to be like.

Well, they don't exactly smash their instruments as lay them down, but all in all I'd say this kicks serious ass :C)

I could've smashed those for them with a bit of my spastic dancing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, I don't know...

Aside from the usual standard, I would have to give a nod to the Chipmunks version, personally. (pops)

Still...

I may or may not resemble W.C. Hawley of Smoot-Hawley Tariff fame...

Ahhhh... the Dutch... those silly feaux-Germans...

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jesus Christ TMLO, you're already in my favorites, until there's a super-favorites option in the event someone makes a Smoot-Hawley Tariff joke I think you're going to have to tone it down.

Was that Johnny Depp on lead, or did it just look like him?

AgentOrangeDrink: Jesus Christ TMLO, you're already in my favorites, until there's a super-favorites option in the event someone makes a Smoot-Hawley Tariff joke I think you're going to have to tone it down.

You don't know the half of it.

Despite not knowing how to play the guitar, I want to start a themed rock band where the band members and songs have something to do with the people involved with the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and that time period.

The name?

THE SMOOT-HAWLEY GUITAR RIFF ACT.

Smash instruments != "put down less than softly"

~kurt cobain

This is my favorite version.

Personally, I've always like this version. Can't believe it hasn't been posted yet.

Trick post. There is no good version of that song.

oom pah, muther farker

Are you guys frickin' kidding me? This is the one.

Um.... did anybody take a real good look at the screen in the background at 1:19?

Thosw: Um.... did anybody take a real good look at the screen in the background at 1:19?

Yes... hmm.

Dynamite Monkey - That's the one. the only one. I'm getting my kids kazoo ukuleles for christmas.

why do people continue to cover this god-awful tune? It sucks!

Slam Dunkz: why do people continue to cover this god-awful tune? It sucks!

Blasphemy

point51: Ahhhh... the Dutch... those silly feaux-Germans...

actually they're FINNISH!

Lumber Jack Off: point51: Ahhhh... the Dutch... those silly feaux-Germans...

actually they're FINNISH!

Yes, at about 2:43.

well that was different.

The Final Sponge Down? (new window)

What is it with the Finns and cello/rock mixups?

In the cello version, the best part is at about 3:50 or so when the guy on the far left (our left, from the audience pov), his glasses fall off bz he's headbangin' so hard.

Laibach - Final Countdown

LOL --- it's the cheesy techno/opera/kraftwerk/i-just-learned-how-to-use-computer-animation-software version

DecemberNitro: What is it with the Finns and cello/rock mixups?

I think it's because thy actually listen to classical music, so it's more natural to pair up these things?

Finally, these two agree on something.

Haista vittu!

I think I just wet myself laughing at the Chipmunk version.

HOLY fark
I love these guys... been into them for about 6 years after I found their parody of "Anarchy In the UK".

All of their songs are parodies. This band (translation is The Pensioners) started as a side-project for members of the Finnish metal band Kumikameli.

they are a crazy Finnish band that perform wild, naked, and drunken concerts. They are also known for the smashing of instruments.

I have their latest albums that I bought from Finland, and their DVD. It is a compilation of live shows, bizzare music videos, and drunken antics for their tour.

They are described by the media (and themselves) as polka-punk.

Their songs are all parodies - made humerous to make fun of old people in Finland (hence the name 'The Pensioners')
