We Didn't Start the Fire - Part 2 (1st Version)

NOTE: Check out the 2nd version of this (its the posted response to this video) It's a far better video and less cringe inducing to listen to. Oh and its updated through 2007.

Ok. This is my updated version of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire. This is the first version of the video, I plan on going back over it and editing more pictures in (you'll figure out where with the help of a few subtle hints from me). Writing the song and making the video took about a week (although it would have been quicker had I figured out Windows Movie Maker quicker... It's quite sucky)

Here are the lyrics for all those curious...

"No New Taxes", Berlin Wall
Tiananmen Square, Soviet Fall
Bosnia + Herzegovina, Hubble Telescope
Alan Greenspan, Kuwait Invasion
Desert Storm, Racial tension
Bill Clinton, Boris Yeltsin, War Against Dope

Peace Accords, Jay Leno
Arafat, Siege in Waco
Somalia, the U.S. Enters
Bombing in the World Trade Center
Ted Kaczynski, HIV
World Wide Web is Now Free
Nirvana, Rwanda, Baseball Strike Last Through the Winter

(Chorus)
We Didn't Start the Fire;
It was Always Burning,
Since the World's Been Turning.
We Didn't Start the Fire,
No We Didn't Light It,
But We're Trying to Fight It.

George Foreman, Northern Ireland,
Bills Lose, Rangers Win,
John Wayne Gacy, Friends on TV, Republican Shock
Africa Ebola, OJ Simpson, Mandela,
Mike Jordan Comes Home, France Elects Chirac,
Terry Nichols, McVeigh, Quebec Almost Breaks Away
Galileo, Balkan War, GPS, Kenneth Starr
Stock Boom, Whitewater, Guatemala, Console War,
Macarena, Al Jazeera, Someone Shot Tupac Shakur

(Chorus)

Stock Drop, Teen Pop, Harry Potter, Hale-Bopp
Hong Kong, Dolly Clone, Cameras on Your Cell Phone,
Tony Blair, Princess Di, Heaven's Gate Suicide,
Titanic, Tiger Woods, Shootout in North Hollywood

Mike Tyson, Deep Blue, Kosovo, 62,
Google, Lewinsky, United States' Embassies,
Earthquakes, 6 Billion, Columbine, Kevorkian,
Johnny Jr., Euro, Armstrong Wearing Yellow

(Chorus)

Y2K, USS Cole, Florida's Still Too Close to Call,
Chandra Levy, EP-3E, Foot and Mouth Animals,
Terrorists on the Planes, Trade Center up in Flames,
I-pods, Anthrax, Afghanistan Attacks,
Daniel Pearl, EnRon, Weapons of Mass Destruction,
Oil Spill, Snipers Kill, I Think I've Had My Fill

(Chorus)

Martha Stewart, Columbia, Recall in California,
Iraq, Novak, Hussein, SARS Attack,
Red State, Blue State, Memogate, Red Sox Were a Team of Fate,
North Korea's Gone Nuclear, London's in a State of Fear,
Michael Jackson, Tsunami, Benedict, Canceled Hockey,
Kyoto, Katrina, Gay Rights and FEMA,
Global Warming's on the Rise, Politics are Full of Lies,
Calls for Increase in Troop Size, I just Fell Like I Could Die,

We Didn't Start the Fire;
It was Always Burning,
Since the World's Been Turning.
We Didn't Start the Fire,
But When We Are Gone,
It Will Still Burn On, And On, And On, And On,
And On, And On, And On, And On, And On...

(Chorus 2x)

i have watched 3 of these and none of them directly memtion the invention of the cell itself... this one only mentions cell phone camras... werid...

[danciswithwolves]

cell phones were invented before 1989... thats why

[jeffiegar]

I thought your words more than compensated for the lack of tunage dude! Just kidding...very eloquent.....Joe G.

[danciswithwolves]

[ladynice75]

[griffinwings56]

LOL XD i love it

[willdav713]

you need this in stereo, this is mono and it is not in both channels, it starts out in right and then in left kindof distracting especially on 4 speaker headphones on my old school pioneer quadraphonic receiver which I play this on.

[danciswithwolves]

I agree... my singing in this is pretty bad... my updated version (the reply to this) is a significant improvement, though still no where near the caliber of Joel's performance
