    That was a hard upvote, man. You 100% just stole 20 seconds of my time. On the other hand, I wasn’t doomscrolling.

    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”

          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 :)
