O Fall Out Boy lançou uma versão atualizada de “We Didn’t Start the Fire”, de Billy Joel, seu hit número 1 de 1989, que apresenta uma lista de nomes próprios arrancados das manchetes históricas. A banda tenta continuar de onde Joel parou, referenciando momentos de 1989 a 2023.

Entre os dísticos lado a lado estão Rodney King e deep fakes, Crepúsculo e “Michael Jackson morre”, de Kim Jong-un e Robert Downey Jr. Homem de Ferro, assim como Meghan Markle e George Floyd. As palavras “o que mais eu tenho a dizer” são a contraparte de “segundo plano do Comércio Mundial”. Festival de Fogo? O assassinato de Shinzo Abe? Brexit? O menino balão? Está tudo aqui. Confira abaixo o lyric video da nova música.

Revisite a revisão de domingo da Pitchfork sobre o clássico de Billy Joel de 1977, O estranho.
