I'm amazed other people can actually do that. I've heard that song hundreds of times, but I can neither recall the tune nor the lyrics. I don't think there is any song I could hum more than 10s of.
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.
I memorized the lyrics just so I could tell people I did it.
As for the tune, the melody is like three notes repeating and the chorus so not too bad.
I should be able to do this but it isn't working. Another commenter fixed.mr moskeeto but I found other problems after that like Madagascar.
I got tripped up up on the second half also. You have to hang on the "the" for Simpsons H&R a little bit to make it fit.
It was easier to remember when everything mentioned in the song was a somewhat current event
