We Didn't Start The Fire

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.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

J0rdan never told us if he passed his class.

there's some indian version of the song that i like a lot better because you can't tell what the guy is saying

JFK
Blown away
Come again another day

Cracked me up.

imagine how many rhymes BJ could pick from for "subprime"

Ryan started the fire.

maybe i meant it was hilariously bad ;)

I am getting dragged to see this muggins and an equally washed up English dwarf in "concert." Some of some 176 keys will be presumably be struck.

(too many "be"s)

"space monkey mafia" was totally robbed

I just cracked myself up singing the song in the order ILX voted it in. It gets clumsy occasionally (the climaxes aren't resolved without the chorus), but in terms of stupid shit to do while working from home? A+.

(The College Humor version, We Didn't Start The Flamewar, is moderately amusing, but mostly to all my buddies who were really into Joel the first time around.)

in some sense this song redeems the existence of billy joel

Does anyone have the lyrics for the cover by The Memories that was all about Irish football?

My friend was singing along to his song in the car last night but not really words, more like, 'muhna mnnhummm mnnhuh' sounds. But the thing was she was doing this along with the CHORUS, the rest of the song she didn't even try. God I love her.

'hmmm hummnah nnn-hmm hmm-nnnmmm
hmm..uh...world's been hmm-hmm'
