We Didn't Start the Fire - Part 1

Well this is it. Billy's Joel's hugest, oddest, final number one hit that for some reason or another brings the crowd to its feet when he performs it as an encore on every single show for the past 15 years. You may love it, you may hate it, and if you do love it, you just can't figure out why. Billy himself says it's the worst melody he's ever written so WHY, is this 1989 song STILL popular 35 years later? Let's try and figure it out on this two parter of Billy Joel A to Z's, We Didn't Start the Fire.
