From Y2K to the end of 2009, here's a collection of various events, trends and people that captured our attention over the last ten years.

Lyrics written and performed by me
Music: Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire (Karaoke version by Prosound Studio Band)
Images: Google Image Search

Also, the audio quality dropped when I've uploaded it, so sorry for the less-than-perfect sound.

I hope you enjoy it! There are tons of things that I couldn't include because they either didn't fit in the time or the structure... what do you remember from the last decade? Leave it in the comments!
