We Didn't Start the Fire sucks, but Billy Joel at least went year-to-year, in order. They just rambled off 20-30 years of shit randomly.

As a person that enjoys the original, I'm always on the look out for updated versions. This one was perfectly fine, but I also enjoy Fall Out Boy.

Just looked it up on youtube... man that is a rough sounding song.

Not sure why I expected better, FOB had been terrible for over a decade

Their new album was decent, but I guess back into the trash they go

Did he actually? I never realised that, that's kinda impressive

Still don't like Billy Joel but respect where it's due

I have always hated the lead singer's voice, so I have no real desire to listen to it, unless he gets punched in the throat halfway through or something. That would be fucking hilarious.

There is a couple slight mistakes in the original, but it is almost entirely in chronological order and even then those are still the same year

Yeah, it's really impressive, but it doesn't make a good song. Even Billy Joel thought it stunk musically. I think he's great, but I can't manage to like the song.

Probably because this cover is getting more buzz (not good buzz tho) than the album they released this year that no one listened to.

Had no idea they even had a new album! I wasnt the biggest fan of mania but American beauty/American psycho is my favorite album from them. Thanks for the heads up!

Two different things.

Space monkey, referring to test monkeys launched into space
Mafia, referring to the trial of the mobsters arrested in the Apalachin raid

yes he originally wanted to be a history teacher
and we didnt start the fire was a tribute to the career he probably has in an alternate universe where he made different choices in life

Stuff not in chronological order, being biased politically, also NOT reusing the one line form the original for King Charles (Englands got a new queen/king), and claiming its 1989-2023, but says Metroid.
