Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire

"We Didn't Start the Fire" is a song by Billy Joel that makes reference to a catalogue of headline events during his lifetime, from March 1949 (Joel was born on May 9 of that year) to 1989, when the song was released on his album Storm Front. The events are mixed with a refrain asserting "we didn't start the fire".

Wikipedia has a very nice explanation of the historical items referred in the song.
