"It's The End Of The World As We Know It" vs. "We Didn't Start The Fire": which is more annoying, and why?

Hey, I found a song that's much worse!

Sample lyrics:

Gays Have a Marriage Ban, Troops in Afghanistan
May be an Angry Turk, Health Insurance is a Perk

Wedgewood, Baptist Church, Hurricanes, Google Search
Terrorists in New York, No one has to Go to Work!

Billy Joel should have his nuts smashed on an anvil by gnomes for inflicting this song upon me.

YEAH!

I wish that Billy Joel would really set himself on fire.

What happened to that cute kid in the "End of the World" video? He must be like, 40 by now.

The relative inscrutability of the video is REM's get-out-of-jail-free card in this contest!

The video for "We Didn't Start THe Fire" would be great if it featured Billy Joel being flayed alive by the cast of "Empty Nest" alternating with pictures of kittens.

has anyone mentioned how "We Didn't Start The Fire" had the lyrics changed in Ireland so it could become a cash-in on Italia '90?

I had turned forty. It was 1989 and I said "Okay, what's happened in my life?" I wrote down the year 1949. Okay, Harry Truman was president. Popular singer of the day, Doris Day. China went Communist. Another popular singer, Johnnie Ray. Big Broadway show, South Pacific. Journalist, Walter Winchell. Athlete, Joe DiMaggio. Then I went on to 1950 [...]. It's one of the worst melodies I've ever written. I kind of like the lyric though

Terrified by that ellipsis and the suggestion that he went through each year of the song in the same droning fashion. "...the pill, that was birth control. The Vietnam War - Ho Chi Minh. The '68 election, Richard Nixon back again..."
