Laibach - Final Countdown
"Final Countdown" is taken from the album An Introduction to... Laibach / Reproduction Prohibited.
Released September 3rd (Nov 6 USA).
Pre-order - smarturl.it/ani...
"The cover version can be seen as a cynical populist tactic by artists lacking in originality, a gesture of contempt or as a respectful example of good taste and seriousness.
Laibach's open rejection of originality makes the first view irrelevant and the new originals are too ambivalent to be either entirely contemptuous or totally respectful.
A Laibachised song is sometimes more kitsch, sometimes more serious and sometimes more emotional than the "old original" it is based on.
Laibachisation re- and de-animates a song, reviving it for long enough to dispatch it again." -- Alexei Monroe, author of Interrogation Machine:

My favorite karaoke song is to choose the original track, but sing it Laibach style. Equal parts confusion and amazement!

[@franklingraff7457]

ahahhaha that's awesome! :D

[@galantosa]

Hahahaha nice idea!!

[@ponkoffmusic]

[@branko7481]

I was in October 4-12 1994. In Slovenia and I heard this song first time from Laibach on Slovenian State TV.....

[@TheRealMasterDje]

This was once some top notch 3D.

We're leaving together, But still it's farewell And maybe we'll come back To earth, who can tell? I guess there is no one to blame We're leaving ground (leaving ground) Will things ever be the same again? It's the final countdown The final countdown Oh We're heading for Venus (Venus) And still we stand tall 'Cause maybe they've seen us (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 Oh The final countdown, oh It's the final count down The final countdown The final countdown The final countdown Oh It's the final count down We're leaving together The final count down We'll all miss her so It's the final countdown It's the final countdown Oh It's the final countdown, yeah

Damn! The original is so theatrical, and this cover is just so hilarious.

[@dnagy6]

I love how there’s all that junk being tossed down the wormhole at 1:30 😂

[@WrathOfThePharaoh]

This is so 90s...

[@phillipcarpenterjr1576]

The song is Swedish band Europe from mid to late 80s. I had to play this song in school band ar basketball games. Laibach would have made it more tolerable

[@friedrichnietzsche6153]

FRANCK VINCENT , a good friend of Milan Fras and especially of Mina Spieler, made is own version with her...THE FINAL CONDOM

[@MrManson39]

Ficou melhor que a versão original!!Demais!!

The video reminds me of Second Reality / Future Crew (0:25 spacecraft fly-through, 1:25 moiré patterns, 1:30 tunnel, 2:40 space ships from introduction, 3:30 FC logo at the end)

Kickin off 2024 with this song.

[@phillipcarpenterjr1576]

Probably the most serious hair band song from the 80s. Swedish Band Europe played the original. I think I still hear the trumpets from the early 90s when I played this song at high school basketball games. Ironic.

[@glenngoodwin2234]

Immediately upon the dissolution of Yugoslovia, Slovenia took the most Western song they could find and handed it, and their national chorus and philharmonic, to their greatest musical minds. While working, they left their Windows 3.1 computer running, and when the screen saver popped up, thus was born the greatest music video in Slovenian history.

[@ludwigfeuerbach]

Lots of ppl claim mistakenly on KZbin that some Laibach song or another is the greatest cover in history. They're all wrong, unless this is the song they picked.

[@SpitfireBoy86]

NSK is an organisation of similiar thinking artists. You can get the passport on the NSK organisation, just contact them.
