We Still Didn't Start the Fire

If you can get past my totally terrible singing and lack of technological know-how, then I hope you enjoy the 21st-century edition of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." (no copyright infringement intended)

If I'm missing something substantial in relation to "the fire," feel free to add a comment! Thanks!

Lyrics: Bill Clinton, Monica, Voting booths in Florida, Global warming, Y2K, 2012, Judgment Day, 9/11, al-Qaeda, Aid to Hurricane Katrina, Bushisms, Terrorism, Muslim Fundamentalism. Iran, Iraq, Taliban, OPEC, Refugees, Tsunami wreck, Columbine, Virginia Tech, WMDs, Disappearing Kennedys, Wheres bin Laden and his gang? Saddam Hussein, tried and hanged!

We didnt start the fire. It was always burning, since the worlds been turning. We didnt start the fire. No we didnt light it, but we tried to fight it.

Barack Obama, health care, Suicidal warfare, Tax returns, L.A. burns, Arnolds really governor, Chris Rock, Dane Cook, Burning Harry Potter books, John Stewart, Margaret Cho, Watching Terri Schiavo, Politicians in the closet, So long Farrah Fawcett, Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole, Halftime at the Superbowl, Disney buys out rocknroll, Catholic priests are on parole, Pregnant Britney shaves her head, Michael Jacksons really dead!

We didnt start the fire. It was always burning, since the worlds been turning. We didnt start the fire. No we didnt light it, but we tried to fight it. Swine Flu, Mad Cow, Janet Jacksons boob is out, Youtube, iPhones, Finding good reception zones, WiFi, Predators, Craigslist, bloggers, Google, Facebook, Myspace, Twittering from outer space. 50 cent, Eminem, Anorexic Olsen twins, Wall Street in the ground, Journalists lost and found, Torture tactics, CIA, Prop 8, Anti-gay, Matthew Shepard, hate crimes, Lost inside the New York Times!

We didnt start the fire. It was always burning, since the worlds been turning. We didnt start the fire. No we didnt light it, but we tried to fight it.

Judge Judy, Michael Moore, Watching the Colbert Report, Slutty women with no clothes, Reality TV shows, Princess Di, Billy Joel, Pope John Paul, Da Vinci Code, Israel, Pakistan, Germans in the Vatican, Reverend Phelps, anthrax, Paris Hilton, cyber sex, Pirating DVDs, Girls Gone Wild movies!

We didnt start the fire. It was always burning, since the worlds been turning. We didnt start the fire. No we didnt light it, but we tried to fight it.

Stem cells, Flavor Flav, Soldiers in the desert graves, Pro choice, pro life, I now pronounce you wife & wife, Crooked Enron businessmen, People killing children, Pedophilia, necrophilia, Newspaper memorabilia: Illegal immigrants with hash, Texting causes car crash, Bankrupt, Unemployed, Athletes taking steroids, Guns at the border wall, Both Twin Towers fall, Bombed trains, hijacked planes, Doesnt this world ever change??

We didnt start the fire. It was always burning, since the worlds been turning. We didnt start the fire. But when we are gone, it will still burn on and on and on and on

We didnt start the fire. It was always burning, since the worlds been turning. We didnt start the fire. No we didnt light it, but we tried to fight it

Nice video but your voice made me cringe.

[shortcake3131987]

@BrandonTheRemix lol thanks man

[sizemore001]

It's really pretty good, I think it would be better though if it were in chronological order...

[musikfanat]

Good video!

[volfano7]

You did a wonderful job on this video.

[AndyMHinchcliffe]

This was a really good job!

I didn't hear "don't move forward", I heard "be careful, and think things through".

Also, just like the original song, that the vast majority of wrong in this world has been due to power hungry people using force and violence to get their own way... Also, I heard a serious wake up call for our society in there. So many of those references are to things that were blown out of all proportion due to our society's distorted value system.

shortcake, thank you for posting this!

Well, you have a message, but what is it? If you don't want to move forward, than where do you move to....?

The world is screwed up and it will always be screwed when a few people are in charge of the many...or more correctly the many allow the few to think for and to control them.

I probably would have added the "Mohammed cartoon controversy" to the list, and kept events in order--otherwise, you did a reasonably good job.

well written. I've always thought of writing lyrics to a sequel myself. Only thing I would have done differently is keep the events in order.
