The title in the post is misleading in that it refers to the chorus/title of the song.
These game titles are supposed to match the verse of the song, so they won't match with "we didn't start the fire" but rather the obscure lyrics in the verse, which is just a ramble of words fitting a simple rhythm:
"Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe"
Ramble?
Ramble!
The words are all events the happened during Billy Joel's life up untill 1989, all aranged i mainly chronological order.
This song is a god damned master peice and you will not disrespect it.

Jokes on you, I hate this song. Same goes for "It's the end of the world as we know it" by REM. I don't know why, but those two songs get under my skin
Not to say it's a bad song, but I absolutely hate it :)
That's is perfectly fine, there are plenty of songs that I know are masterpieces that I hate and will refuse to listen to.
Mine is ahead by a century I can't stand his whiny whiny voice in the chorus but I actually kind of like the verses
Brilliant concept. Will check it out later, hope it's good.
Meh, I like how it sounds, but it is just listing events and rhyming them
I've got that far, after all, I know the song. I'm just so bad at anything rhythmic, I cannot read any lyrics as anything else but plain text. In my head, even my favorite songs lyrics are read like an essay about the cultural importance of potatoes in China.
