• Billy Joel - We Didn't...
Today on the channel, we are checking out Billy Joel with his song "We Didn't Start The Fire." This song had so many cultural references that seemed to be mashed up in the verses but somehow worked together for a cohesive concept. This was such a unique style of writing and I absolutely loved it! I cannot wait to hear more from Billy Joel and I hope you enjoy! #reaction #billyjoel #wedidntstartthefire #80smusic #musicreactions

Billy Joel is such a BEAST and I love this song!! What should I review next from him?!
All things news worthy in Billy's life (at the time he wrote the song).
My favorite Billy Joel song!!!
Best History lesson in Chronological order of the Historical Events that has happened in Billy Joel’s life. Best History Lesson, Ever!
Every home schooling parent should do this with their own kids!
Steven, great reaction. Billy Joel's catalog is large & spans several decades!
this was an exercise in memory that Billy did for his birthday showing what happened in the world during his lifetime.
Santa
Joel is a genius with this song.
Keep listening to Billy Joel’s songs and you will discover you cannot pigeon hole his music.
Even more powerful now.
What I would suggest is taking all of Billy’s song catalog and put on a giant dart board and throw a dart and you will listening to a fantastic piece of music.
There are 119 references in the song. It refers to the idea that history is always happening, and the state of the world is not the fault of those currently living in it. Billy Joel is a “history nut” who wanted to be a history teacher, he was talking with someone on the verge of turning 21, who told him that the world was an unfixable mess. Joel replied, “I thought the same things when I was 21”. That was the spark for the song. The song lists many events, each verse references the decade shown in the video. There are many events, the majority of them are examples of bad things, such as war. murder, prejudice, drugs and injustice, mixed in with some positive things like the moon landing, classic literature and entertainment.
Chronological order of Current events thru his life.
Nice one, Steven. A favourite from the 80’s. As an Aussie it sounds like an American history lesson to me. I still remember every single word. ❤️🇦🇺
I consider like a collage of world history.
As Gen X, I definitely try to forgive the generations before me because you never know what is going to happen!
Better history than American Pie, IMO!
❤
This song will teach you more about American history than you ever learned in school. All of the references are events in American history from 1949 the year of Billy Joel's birth onwards.
There are references from around the world in the lyrics, not just from the US.
A great song. I add to it The Temptations BALL OF CONFUSION. That's what the world is today. Even more relevant today! Nice reaction Steve 👍👍

Fire refers to the chaos. We all have to deal with all the troubles someone before us caused.
🚜🤠🐂
You will find many different sounds from Billy Joel... "For the Longest Time" "Uptown Girl" "Always a Woman to Me" "Just the Way You Are" "In the Middle of the Night" so many songs, so many sounds. If you drop a rock in this well, it will be a while before you hear it splash.
Great song. And it was just a charts song.
This is American history in a song! Teachers actually use it as a teaching tool. Some of the lyrics are fun, but so many references were so terribly horrible. This was a reaction, in a way, for Millennials who blamed Boomers for everything. Billy Joel wanted to show them that we didn’t start the dumpster fire-every before generation added fuel. (I’m technically a boomer, but my grouping has become the Jones Generation-those of us born in the very late fifties and early sixties really didn’t have anything in common with those born in 1945.)
😊❤ Hi! 😅 DITTO what you said!! 1961 here!! LOL 😂 😊❤❤
I totally agree with you. 1959 baby here. I didn't know I was part of the "Jones Generation". But, it makes sense. A lot of baby boomer families have two halves. One group of kids pre WWII and one post war. I have a sister that is 17 years older and a brother 15 years older than me. Then my dad went overseas and when he came home, my parents started making babies again. I am #6 of 8. Either way, I came of age in the seventies. I got to listen to all the really great bands of the 70s and 80s!
I read that John Lennons son was telling Billy Joel that nothing happened in his (Billy's) lifetime. This was Billy's answer to all the things that happened in his lifetime. And the We Didn't Start the Fire part......generations before his started and his generation tried to put it out, but that would never happen. The fire would be burning forever.
Oh wow!! Great insight! Appreciate it!
Which son Sean or Julian
Im thinking Sean since John lived in New York
History lesson from the Billy was born... Hes a lyrical genius!!! MUST react to GOODNIGHT SIAGNON. Its sbout Vietnam War and very raw, but lyrics are amazing. He always has veterans on stage to sing the chorus. ❤
The song is events and names of famous and infamous people people of the 20th century in chronological order. If you watch the video it shows a family from getting married and moving into their apartment to going through stages of life during this time in history he is singing about All the way through their children's adulthood
Angry Young Nan is piano at its best
Saigon Is my favorite Billy Joel song
Do the "KEEPING the Faith" video by Billy Joel then "You may be Right" song.
2 great ones!
Last year, Fall Out Boy released a cover of this with additional lyrics to fill in the decades since it came out.
Code of silence
Basically he was talking to someone from a younger generation they didn't think much had gone on in his lifetime compared to this time in history so this is basically what went on in Billy Joel's lifetime not all of history just in his lifetime the show this person that this isn't the first time the world's been in crisis for the first time something great happened
"Pressure"
The names are progressing through history as the kitchen gets updated as well.
Such a clever song and video! 😁
Let's Gooooo! Such a freaking banger. This references world culture and historical events. He's saying there's been stuff going on for years and we didn't start the fire but we want to put it out. You may be right is another banger from him. Check out Led Zeppelin Achilles last stand studio version if you haven't heard it. John's drumming is phenomenal. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
This is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. He’s gone on record saying it’s one of his least favorite.
I enjoyed it!! Definitely a different feel than what I’ve heard from him but still a banger!! 🔥
Queen Elizabeth II became Queen in 1952, she and her husband were in Africa on an official visit because her father couldn’t make the trip. February 6, 1952, King George VI died and Elizabeth was now queen. When she arrived in London, she didn’t have clothes to wear for mourning and had to send for the clothes so she could disembark. Because of this it is a rule that the royals must have clothes for mourning with them when they are on visits.
Lucille Ball Passed away one month before this came out at age 77. This is not her.
Came here to see see if anyone mentioned this. Lucy was awesome though. And like so many legends, greatly missed.
I won't be joining you on this one. Those of us who heard it upon release really don't need to hear it again. And this from the genius that gave us 'Goodnight Saigon'!
