![]() Turns out, he's not particularly concerned. I reached out to DiCola on Facebook to see what he thinks about all this. Two of DiCola's cues were featured on the original "Rocky IV" soundtrack album, but there's also an album of just his score. DiCola's score is full of '80s goodness, an interesting departure from the traditional "Rocky" sound of composer Bill Conti. And further, if the training montage music really gets you going, it's only fair that you acknowledge the man who created that sequence of musical notes and recorded them on this synthesizer. It sounds kind of like this part in "The Final Countdown":īut they're not *that* similar, so I'm not sure why this confusion exists. ![]() The score for "Rocky IV," composed by Vince DiCola, features similar synth instrumentation and a similar chord structure as "The Final Countdown."

And if you doubt that this belief exists, or that the belief is strong, do a quick search on Twitter for "The Final Countdown Rocky IV" (or "Rocky 4") to find a bunch of people referencing it in various ways through the years (including me, in a tweet version of this column) and celebrating the song's role in the "Rocky IV" experience. I know some of you likely "remember" it in the movie, but you're wrong. So here's a new thing for your brain to ponder, though this one is inarguable: Europe's song "The Final Countdown" is not in "Rocky IV." It's not so much a conviction as a nugget of 100 percent truth, and I've wanted to get it off my chest for a while.
