The Final Sequence

[Nirkatze]

Dammit, now "The Final Countdown" is playing in my head...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I've had "I'm Still Standing" stuck in my head for the past week or 2, since I found it and posted about it in the Random Chatter thread...

Kinda funny while reading Slasher books ;)

[Nirkatze]

I'm not familiar with that song. :) Saved there.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

It's definitely popular with illness survivors, if you start reading youtube comments... skimming them the other day, I saw so many people talking about surviving cancer or beating addiction...

Slasher movies aren't really the point of the song, but it fits, with how the killers always get back up...

[Nirkatze]

Just from the title I can see that--sounds like a Final Girl theme...
