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.)

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.
