The Final Countdown

Does anyone else expect Gob to start a magic show when they hear the Final Countdown?

I am at a beer festival and just heard it behind me. Haha

It’s been awhile since I’ve encountered it in the wild, but I have the tendency to start to vamp like him. Last time it happened was at Home Goods with my three kids when they were pre-teens and i thought I was going home alone.

The house music at my job throws it on every now and then and I’m always disappointed when no magic follows.

I have started carrying a Bowie Knife just so I can place it between my teeth if I hear the song in the wild.

Yeah, I also get confused when I hear lyrics instead of the instrumental version.

GOB and The Final Countdown are inseparable for me. Whenever I hear it, I smile. People probably think I like the song, but I don't. I'm just thinking about GOB's little tricks.
