There is a song by Billy Joel from long ago (20 years to exact) called "We Didn't Start The Fire". If you haven't heard the song, just type the title in the search box on iTunes, Rhapsody or the Zune database and download it. If you have heard the song you know that he makes many historical references in this song. All can be found on Wikiapida once you get a hold of the lyrics online. A couple months ago I downloaded a greatest hits list compiled by an international music magazine, and "We Didn't Start The Fire" was on there. Mind you I did hear the song before, I just thought it be nice to have in on my Ipod. While I was listening to the song I kept thinking that there should be a part 2 to this song. Since it stop at the 1980s and it was written in 1989. The part 2 should have the decade of the 1990s to 2008 just in time for the election. Featuring well known events like Whitewater, Bush #2 and let not forget 9/11. So, for some stupid reason I decide to write a part 2 to the song just for this blog. Feel free to sing along to the song while your reading this.

So, what you think? Do you think you can make a better version of my part 2? Then why don't you write your own version along with you singing it on youtube for all to see. Lets compare notes and see if there is any other historical references I left out. The research for part 2 of this song was very hard, but thanks to I love the 90s.com and Wikipedia this whole thing would not have been possible.
