Fall Out Boy have released an updated version of Billy Joel’s song ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’ in order to, I don’t know, highlight how lists are still a thing, or something.Joel’s original song was released as a single in 1989 and listed 118 people and events from politics, culture, science and sport that had proven notable between 1949, the year when Joel was born, and the year of the track’s release.So, your first verse goes like this: “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, Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom, Brando, The King And I, and The Catcher In The Rye, Eisenhower, Vaccine, England’s got a new queen, Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye”.Anyway, it’s now 34 years since Joel released the song. So, to mark this, erm, milestone, Fall Out Boy have recorded a new version, listing significant things that have happened since 1989.
Things like what?Well, now the first verse goes like this: “Captain Planet, Arab Spring, LA riots, Rodney King, deep fakes, earthquakes, Iceland volcano, Oklahoma City bomb, Kurt Cobain, Pokémon, Tiger Woods, MySpace, Monsanto, GMOs, Harry Potter, Twilight, Michael Jackson dies, nuclear accident, Fukushima, Japan, Crimean peninsula, Cambridge Analytica, Kim Jong Un, Robert Downey Jr, Iron Man”.Aren’t lists fun! And such a good way of making it look like you’ve made a good point about something, when all you’ve really done is compile a list. Not even a chronological list in Fall Out Boy’s case – whereas Joel at least got most of his list in the right order.

Great, take it away.”In a statement shared around the song’s release, the band said: “I thought about this song a lot when I was younger.

Taylor Swift has released her album ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’, which features collaborations with Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams and Fall Out Boy – listen to them below.The two tracks are part of Swift’s ‘From The Vault’ series made up of songs that were written at the same time that the original 2010 album was being recorded but didn’t make the cut. ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ features six ‘From The Vault’ tracks.‘Castles Crumbling’ features Swift’s longtime friend Williams while ‘Electric Touch’ features Fall Out Boy.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Sorry, Hayley Williams and Fall Out Boy: Marjorie has stolen the show again. Not that Taylor Swift’s beloved grandmother actually puts in a vocal appearance from the great beyond, as she did on the “Evermore” album three years ago. But Marjorie Finlay still manages to be a dominative force in the Vault Tracks for the newly released “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” by having her photos appear throughout the lyric video for the closing track, “Timeless,” and having her relationship with Taylor’s granddad be a focus of the inspirational ballad. Twenty-first-century pop-punk or emo can hardly compete with that emotional a capper. But for those less sentimentally inclined, Paramore’s singer and Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump will be way up there in what Swift fans immediately take away from the six previously unheard compositions that have been appended to the previous 16-track running order of 2010’s “Speak Now.” The duet with Williams, “Castles Crumbling,” is particularly pungent, as a lament that just about could have been an outtake from the more recent “Folklore” or “Evermore” instead of an album that came out a full decade before those. As for the FOB-aided track, it’s the farthest thing from a Swift classic. But — having been written, like the rest of these tracks, when the artist was 18 or 19 — the number does hark back to an era when girls (and Fall Out Boys) could just wanna have fun.

Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz has been discussing his band’s updated cover of Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’. He’s explained the thinking behind the post-1989 events that they included, and also those that they didn’t – most notably the COVID pandemic, which, in a song about significant world events from the last 34 years, you might have thought would feature quite prominently.Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Wentz said that the idea to update the song had been “brewing for so long”, but until recently he had been trying to convince other artists that they should do it.“I’ve been trying to get somebody to do it for four years”, he explained. “And finally Patrick [Stump, frontman] was like, ‘We should just do it’”.With that decided, then came the task of choosing what to include in the verses.
