How can any of us forget Europe and their hit single, "Cherokee"?
While you're enjoying the thrilling synthesizers and mongo riffs, I ask you this: Anybody think it was kind of weird that a band from Sweden is singing about a Native American tribe? Just wondering. |

I thought "The Final Countdown" was the most awesome song at the time. So dramatic, the '80s! But I never thought about how odd it was that these guys were singing about "the trail of tears" until just the other night when the song popped into my head. I mean, isn't that like Poison singing about Vikings?

No. But I've heard "Wait," and that was enough for me.

lol do you realize how many bands have songs about Native Americans?? It's a huge part of history regardless where you're from.
Fault Led Zeppelin being from England and writing the Immigrant Song which is about Vikings, Norse Mythology and all things Northern for that matter. Anthrax has "Indians" Manowar has "Spirit Horse" Iron Maiden has "Run To The Hills"--somewhat different idea, but Native American themed no less. Gates Of Ishtar has "Trail Of Tears" the list goes on. As gay as Eurpoe was...ALOT of great riffage came out of hair metal. |

I still love that song, along with Carrie and The Final Countdown. I have always thought, though, that their lyrics left something to be desired. Ninja Survive and Danger on the Tracks were just 2 examples of what I thought were hokey lyrics. But that is my opinion. Others would disagree......

I take it you're not into any Viking or Black metal then? Sweden, Norway and Finland are virtual breeding grounds for incredible metal riffs! Then again, if I mentioned "Europe" and "Viking Metal" in the same sentence to some of my friends...that would be bad, very bad. |
