Sequel to "We Didn't Start the Fire" Quiz


I have created a song following the layout of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" and picked up where he left off, in 1990. I will give you a verse and then a phrase/hint and you can guess what it corresponds to. Good luck!

Answer: Ecstasy

The new "designer drug", "Ecstasy", which is made up of MDMA (methylenedioxy-n-methylamphetamine) was prevalent before but began to sweep underground raves and parties all over the world.

8. Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, Are Catholic Priests Doing Wrong?, Johnny Cochran, O.J. Simpson, The Blonde Ambition Tour. Hint: The Dream Team

O.J. Simpson was one of the biggest news stories of the decade. There was extreme reaction to the verdict, as it seemed that O.J. was not on trial, but the issue of "race" was. He bought and assembled a "Dream Team" of lawyers to get him out of a jam, which they did.

The most notable name was that of Johnny Cochran who played the race card and won. His memorable line was "The bloody gloves, they do not fit, and so you see, you must acquit."

Answer: Monica Lewinsky

Sensationalism and questions of ethics seemed to reach a new low with the White House scandal of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. One rumor was that the president at that time used a cigar sexually with his intern. The magazine "Cigar Aficionado" quickly capitalized on this and their sales rose rapidly!
10. No World Series, Tim McVeigh, Plane Crashes With Young J.F.K., Sonny Bono Hits a Tree, Elian Escapes Out to Sea. Hint: Oklahoma City

Answer: Tim McVeigh

Timothy McVeigh was convicted for the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. He was a U.S. soldier in the Gulf War and rocked America by showing that terrorism can come from inside our borders as well. The blast left 168 people dead and Timothy McVeigh was executed by lethal injection on 11th June 2001.

Answer: Diana Dies

On 31st August 1997 Princess Diana of Wales died in a car crash, which was driven by a limo driver named Henri Paul. The paparazzi were all over this story and accounts of the incident were pretty brutal stating that they were snapping pictures as she passed away. Many rumors have circulated that Henri Paul was drunk.
12. Michael Jordan is Back Again, Serena Wins Wimbledon, Global Warming Has Its Effect, Floods Leave the Mid-West Wrecked. Hint: Birmingham Barons

Answer: Michael Jordan is Back Again

Michael Jordan left the three time champion Chicago Bulls for a two year stint in baseball's minor leagues with the Birmingham Barons. Many rumors circulated that he had gambling problems and left the game to avoid a scandal. His father was shot and killed during this time and more innuendo suggested that these two incidents were related.

He returned to the Bulls and in his next three seasons of which he played full time, the Bulls won 3 more championships. After retiring in 1999, he became owner of the Washington Wizards and could not stay away from the game and again made a comeback.
13. We didn't start the fire But we can put it out If we act, not pout. We didn't start the fire But listen to this song, Things are going wrong. Winona Ryder, Versace's Shot, Rainforests are left to rot, Fear Factor, Anita Hill, Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. Hint: Gianni

Answer: Versace Shot

Gianni is the first name of Versace, a flamboyant fashion designer who was shot in Miami on July 15, 1997. He was an anti-AIDS activist and worked closely with Elton John.
14. Firestones are Recalled, Hockey Parent gets Mauled, Florida Elections, Viagra erections, Eminem, "It's Us or Them", When Will this Madness End? Hint: Palm Beach County

Answer: Florida Elections

In one of the most controversal (and embarrassing) elections in history, a re-count was needed to determine whether George W. Bush or Al Gore would be the next president of the United States. This was blamed on the ballots in Palm Beach County (where I now reside), as the "punch cards" were confusing.

After a re-count and tons of media hype, George W. Bush was declared the next U.S. president.
15. We didn't start the fire Bud it is time for change, Things have become deranged. We didn't start the fire, We're under stormy weather We should all band together. The Twin Towers Falling Down, Enron Scandal, Our Air is Brown, U.S. Pushes for War, Other Nations Feeling Sore. It's time to put this fire out, Let's bring water where there is drought, Everyone put your nukes away, And that is all I have to say! We didn't start the fire But for humans to linger No more pointing fingers We didn't start the fire, But tomorrow's a new day And baby, love is the way! Hint: Ramanathan and Crutzen

Answer: Our Air is Brown

Ramanthan and Crutzen are members of N.A.T.O. who started "Project Asian Brown Cloud" after a large smoggy mass of polluted air was seen covering the atmosphere above India and parts of Asia. With "El Nino" and "La Nina", this cloud can quickly spread across the globe and actually block out the sun's rays.

The remainder of the song I invented is my opinion on how to get this world back into shape. Hate, fear, and separation will only quicken our demise as a species. As John Lennon and his Beatles counterparts stated in many songs, "Love is all there is". And as he summarized in "Imagine", "I hope they don't call us dreamers for long!" :)
