We know: We’ve written a lot about Fall Out Boy’s cover of We Didn’t Start the Fire.
But … how could we not?
There was our review of the Billy Joel cover. There was the list of the events the band didn’t cover in its remake, and the sports shoutouts — there were a bunch — in it.
But let’s throw in one more: The meme popping up in which people are now coming up with their own lyrics for the song, which are mostly making fun of how bad they are, but also adding on to them a lot.
