Now, Fallout Boy, they've done a cover of Billy Joel's 1989 smash hit We Didn't Start the Fire. They've just updated it with all the events from history from that year through to 2023. That's right. We decided that we would do a New Zealand version looking at a lot of the big things and the big sayings that have happened from 1989 through to 2023. You just don't realise how much stuff's happened, do you?

So much stuff. Well, when you go, oh, that's a long period, there probably is a lot of stuff that's happened. Yeah, and we got great suggestions through, but you guys helped us write some stuff and it was hard to get everything into the song. Now, Ben, some notable admissions before we do play it. Oh, there's plenty. Jenny Shipley won first female

Prime Minister. You know, Hoski. Did we mention Mike Hoski? No, no, we didn't. Didn't mention Hoski. But there's so many people that you can't, Stephen Adams. All morning we've been going, oh. And then I'm like, so Richard Hadley, but then I was like, well, he kind of retired about 91. You know, there's people like before,

Wendell with their career, Harry McLeary, you know, things like that. I'm like, oh. And then we put Crumpet in there because it rhymed. And then some stuff that is quite serious had to go on there because you felt like you needed to acknowledge some of those things as well cyclones, earthquakes, obviously the terrible stuff

that happened in Christchurch, Moss so yeah, we gave it our best and make sure you text us and tell us what we missed out on and we might be in for another re-record session or we just do it version 2, the things we missed but here it is right now, our version New Zealand version of the original Billy
