Useful detail
Performance tip
Let the long keyboard opening build anticipation before you enter. Keep the verses controlled and save the largest movement for the repeated title line.
Recommendation
Should you sing it?
Go with “The Final Countdown” when you can make the character clear from the first line. You will get more from it when you keep enough energy for the demanding second half.
