he got blown away

re-reading this I realize I have no fucking clue what at least a third of these things refer to. I suppose I didn't read a lot of newspapers in the seventies.

This song >>>>>>>>>>>> "American Pie"

For one thing, it's like one-tenth as long as "American Pie."

Which song is worse American Pie or We Didn't Start The Fire

Mr. Que, Thursday, 1 November 2007 17:03 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm quite partial to both of them, if truth be told

Tom D., Thursday, 1 November 2007 17:05 (sixteen years ago) link

The drug dealer, what's his name, Manuel Noriega

There is no valid "We Didn't Start The Fire" thread without the requisite screenshot of Billy Joel in the "We Didn't Start The Fire" video wearing sunglasses staring at the camera pounding his fists on a table in orthogonal formation with, get this, two lit torches of fire on each side of him.

Who the fuck is/was Pope Paul? Did he have Pol Pot in there at one point and change it maybe?

Not sure where he hides his dildo.

I used to love the "Wayne's World" review of Oliver Stone's JFK where they just shrug "blown away...what else to I have to say?"

it's pretty weird to think that this song came out when I was 7, and was possibly around the time I was learning who JFK was.

Some friends and I used to riff on this song, but updated to include 90s/00s references.

All I remember is:

Richard Pryor/Hair on fire
MC Hammer/Email spammer
