We Didn't Start the Fire

[WhiteBoySwaagg]

3:00 they cut out the best part -_-

[jamesridge97]

best video made of this song, well done :)

[SaxiliciousH]

My history teacher (actually my history teacher from 4 years ago) showed this to me, he was a great teacher. This song is brilliant. A history lesson in 5 minutes.

[RiskyBrothers]

at 3:53 it was forest gump

[triplex3399]

I started the fire, but all I wanted to do was start a fire in here heart.

[KLMcDanny]

So catchy…we didn't start the fire it's always burnin since the worlds been turnun' ugh!!

[keetongeer]

Thanks for sharing the video. I guess I wasn't too original in the posted video, "40 Years of History in 3 minutes". It's a similar idea of flashing back through events between 1971-2011, edited tightly to The Beatles' GET BACK and GLASS ONION, while also revisiting The Beatles' rooftop performance and some 8mm film antics of the time. Hope you have a chance to look at it. Enjoy.

[CallMeTweak]

we didnt start the fire, the blacks tried to ignite it but we tried to fight it.

LOL

[DonMeaker]

Actually, the freedom riders were mugged and beaten up by thuggish klansman or klan sympathizers, until they announced that they would be armed. Then the law officers, who earlier had allowed the thugs to beat up the freedom riders, kept the freedom riders protected.

[RadisNoir]

I like Billy Joel

[CartmanSkil]

This is racist o.o

[Dirtybird532]

Dude shut the fuck up. Everything that shows blacks is not racist you pig. It's history.

I love how everyone's like " my geography teacher used this" and they thought it was cool so they looked it up,but they don't really want you to think they looked it up cuz they thought it was a cool song.... which it is! GO BILLY JOEL.... oh and by the way the same thing happened to me so that's why i looked it up. im not ashamed to admit it :P

[airsoftsniper4307]

I had heard it before my Gov't teacher showed it but I never really listened too it. Then he showed us this and I heard and read the lyrics, then realized what the song was about. Its a great song.

[crazyrockbannana]

[Toyboy789]

excellent work! Having been born in 1954, so much of this is history in my lifetime. I remember the Berlin Wall going up - and coming down. The endless round of nightly Vietman War body counts on TV, And the seemingless endless near-dread threat of nuclear war . . .

Not sure it's much btter nows. And much of the music today's crap to match!

Anyway . . . thanks for a great posting!

[usmcmedicwade]

This is amazing!

[hawilicious7]

your video is amazing! the best one ive seen for this song. good job.

billy joel is simply amazing

[foXyCaRmEn]

I watched this in my History 12 class and my entire class was just floored that you could wrap so much history up into one song. This video really complements this amazing song by Billy Joel. Thanks for making History more interesting
