I like how the form of media evolves as the timeline and verses go by. From photograph-like clips, to a roll of film, to radio explainers, and ending with a television set.
Billy Joe needs to make a second part to this from 1989 to 2023. Imagine all the things he can fit into that song. So much has happened since 1989. And most of it tragic

Having lived through most of this, I've never struggled with the references. But putting the historical clips with it is just a brilliant move! I'll definitely be sending people here to watch.
Awesome video. I've been singing it for 30 years and consider myself a history buff but still didn't know a few of those. And I always thought it was "color wars" not "cola wars."
My sincere and deepest THANKS for doing this thing. I have listened to this tune in the early 90”s and always wondered why some names were significant. NOW I know. Thanx!
I have to keep pausing the video to read all the captions. Still, I love a video that actually takes everything Billy Joel sang and put it into context.
This song always reminds me of American history, world history to the 16th century, and world history: the West and the world that I took in secondary school + humanities and Western civilization that I took at Sheridan college.
Now that Fall Out Boy has coveted this, you should totally recreate this for them 😮 i honestly never knew about this song til AFTER FOB, and this explains a lot of this older version 😮
Well considering this is a history lesson song can't really put a new king when it was a queen. However, we won't have a queen in England for the next hundred years or so
oh well. It's historical footage, the world has the right to see it. That's like saying we should remove historical footage of everyone important from the internet
kinda funny because jfk blown away is (i think) considered the best part of the song, and one of FOB band members actually said it was the best part when he listened to it as a child
Just to be honest I thought that disney land accident in 1974 when he said “Disneyland” If you don’t know hat that is search up Deborah Gail stones death or Disneyland Accident 1974

@@tombax1653 And when the time comes, the baton shall be passed again.
Not really from Billy Joe, there's a new cover from the Fall Out Boy that covers events from 1989 to 2023.
Have you seen Fallout Boy's sequel?
How does this not have more views it’s amazing

I couldn’t agree more

1:57-2:15 I love the change in tune of the song.
This deserves so much more recognition
Creative genius. Headlines...🎉
Awesome video. I've been singing it for 30 years and consider myself a history buff but still didn't know a few of those. And I always thought it was "color wars" not "cola wars."
Great edit. This video should be used in history classes covering the Cold War era.
This masterpiece should be remaked every two decades !!!
Amazing!! Billy Joel, the Orson Welles of rock.
Quite possibly, the best version of this song in video. Thank you so much for this!
Who ever did this video is brilliant! It was much work put in plus the lyrics! Thank you for sharing! Better than the original! 👍🏻
My sincere and deepest THANKS for doing this thing. I have listened to this tune in the early 90”s and always wondered why some names were significant. NOW I know. Thanx!
観られてよかったです！ありがとうございます
Great! Remembers me the times in the Music Hall Hannover

Nicely done!
This shoud legitmately be the offical music video!
No way this doesn't blow up one day in the future
This is great
Thank you for providing insight on everything listed. Great stuff
Well done. Great edit!
I know this song word from word from listening so much
Fantastic editing. Well Done

Great video
This video is well done and sadly has not so much view which is a shame because it is part of our human history and for education purposes also good.
holy shiiiiiiit this is amazing !!!!!
🎶Billy Joel released ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’ on this date (September 27) in 1989.
so much effort put into this - great - needs more views
Courage to see it and more courage to show it and now Courage to know and more....
Cracking song and video. Get in Billy Joel.
Fantastic edit btw!
Amazing, thanks so much!
DAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMAZING video!!!
3:00 this might be the part ur looking for 😅
Now that Fall Out Boy has coveted this, you should totally recreate this for them 😮 i honestly never knew about this song til AFTER FOB, and this explains a lot of this older version 😮
I've just uploaded a video for Fall Out Boy's version. Go check it out
Das hast du gut gemacht!!!!
Genial 🌟
Well done.
👏👏👏👏👏
this is amazing
I love this.
❤❤❤❤❤
England's got a new queen More like England's got a new king
Well considering this is a history lesson song can't really put a new king when it was a queen. However, we won't have a queen in England for the next hundred years or so
The video was made before the Queen died.
I think the new version says the king
BTW this song is from the 90s
@@mabelwilken1652 really I wasn't aware
👍
"Bridge On The River Kwai" was a film from 1957 based on a novel, not an actual bridge.
Mason why did you do it @3:09
What do the numbers mean?
i thought catcher in the rye was talking about john but i realized it wouldnt make sense timeline wise
Rockefeller refers not to Winthrop but Nelson
I've also made a video for Fall Out Boy's version. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/5xn_yR7afm0/w-d-xo.html

My whole world history class burst out laughing when the JFK blown away bit happened. IDK why, but in the moment it was funny.
That's not funny when JFK was murdered the school sent us home and my mom was crying in front of the T.V. I was in the first grade in Miami Florida.
oh well. It's historical footage, the world has the right to see it. That's like saying we should remove historical footage of everyone important from the internet
@@TheHistoryOfEverything-agreed just because you can’t handle real life facts on your own doesn’t mean other people have to do anything about it

3:38 always thought this said “rock and roll and cold wars”
Awesome vid. I especially like the time line . Could you do this for the fallout boy and pandemic covers?
I uploaded a video for Fall Out Boy's cover 4 months ago...
Just to be honest I thought that disney land accident in 1974 when he said “Disneyland” If you don’t know hat that is search up Deborah Gail stones death or Disneyland Accident 1974
When my granddaughter starts complaining about the would i would play this video.
Russian of Afghanistan!!!
If you know the names and places and events you lived it or you knew about it .
There is an update from a different artist.
How about a couple of shots of VN
The song starts in 1949 for another specific reason. Name that reason, and good luck.
It was the year Billy Joel was born. What are you on about?
@@beatsandmayo Join me in wishing Mr. William Martin Joel a happy upcoming 75th birthday.

Really Billy? Coke vs Pepsi, that's your breaking point?
