You know who really hates “We Didn’t Start the Fire”? Billy Joel, that’s who.

“That ain’t right … All you gotta do is fuck up one word in the song and it’s a train wreck … Where were we? … Go to the next song, fuck it …  It’s the same thing verse after verse, just the words change — na na na, na na na, na na na na na na. One of the worst melodies I ever wrote.”

[Four minutes later.]

“That’ll be all over YouTube tomorrow. It’s OK, it was an authentic rock-and-roll fuckup.”

And then he lit his Steinway on fire, told it never to forget he’s the Piano Man, and ascended into Rock-and-Roll Heaven. Shut up, you didn’t watch the video all the way to the end. For all you know, that’s exactly what happened.
