  • Not a big deal at all but it's U2 not U-2. It's the name of a band so no biggie. Just pointing it out.

  • @fireshredder101 Actually, it is U-2 because it is referring to "the United States' secret high-flying spy plane that was sent over the Soviet Union to take pictures and gather information."

    More info can be found from the link in the description.

  • It must be something a lot of teachers show. I remember my Social Studies teacher having us listen to this in the 8th grade, and that was 15 years ago!

  • My English techer showed us this, I LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • I remember when I first heard this song... I was 12 or something, and my dad was picking up a Billy Joel CD for my mom. Anyway, on the way back home he played it in the care, and this was the first track off the CD.

    I instantly came. Instant favorite.
