Friday Nights with Europe - Ask The Band - 19th November 2021

Every Friday, starting from mid-November 2021, Europe are answering in a video 2 questions from the fans picked among those posted during the week on their official Facebook and Instagram!

Enjoy their answers of the session number 2!

🔵 Facebook
Roger Bolman: "Why did you record 'Open Your Heart' twice?"
John Levén: "Once for 'Wings Of Tomorrow', as many know, and also for 'Out Of This World', we recorded it again... So what I recall the reason was that we had some changes on 'Out Of This World', some options that we did not have for 'Wings Of Tomorrow'... We had a top class producer in Ron Nevison... We had Ian on drums, Mic on keyboards in the band... And we were much more experienced in recording and stuff... So we thought we'd give this wonderful song a better treatment than 'Wings Of Tomorrow' because it didn't really come out as we would like to... so 'Let's give it another chance!' and so we recorded it again for 'Out of This World'!... I guess that answered your question, Roger... Thank you very much and take care!"

Michaela Italy: "How old were you when you got to know Santa Claus is not for real?"
Ian Haugland: "To be honest, I don't really understand that question... Santa Claus is real... I know so... I met him last Christmas... Yeah, I was at my father's place and we were sitting there and having a nice Christmas dinner... And all of a sudden my father said 'Oh, my God. Is that the time I have to go and get the newspaper' and guess what?... My father takes off... And within 30 seconds, I hear this knocking on the door... So I opened up and guess what? It was Santa Claus... He was standing there... Yeah, I know so... I even touched him and he said 'Ho Ho, son, have you been a nice kid this year?' And I said 'Yeah'... 'Have you done your homework?' 'Yeah.'... 'Have you brushed your teeth every morning and every night?' 'Yeah.'... 'Have you done your Mama and Papa's will?' And I said 'Yeah, I've been a good kid!'... And then he says 'That's great son. Merry Christmas!'... And then he gives me a Christmas package... And guess what... it's exactly, exactly what I wanted, what I wished for... So I'm telling you, Michaela and all you other disbelievers or doubtful people, Santa Claus is not only real, no... he is psychic... he picks up on brain waves and different frequencies and stuff, and he can read people's minds... He can tune into every single person in the world and find out what they want for Christmas... He's got like an antenna in his Christmas Santa Claus hat... And he's got, like, a dial in his Santa Claus beard that he can reach for and dial into every different person in the world... Because that's exactly what he did with me... Guess why I know... Well, I'll tell you... And this is scary... The only other living person in the world who knew what I wanted for Christmas, a pair of pink slippers, was my father... There you go... So Michaela, Santa Claus is real... Santa Claus is real... Well, thank you!"
