Description: The original We Didn't Start the Fire YTMND is back, now with new synching technology. The original took over 25 straight hours of work to create and sync with the old delay. I now redid the syncing to fit the new feature. Enjoy, and learn!

Really enjoyed that. Good job!!
2006-04-06 15:38:20
 
Heh, had a substitute sing that song to us at the end of the period. Nicely done.
2006-04-06 15:39:38
 
Done in flash a million times, but you have a nice use of the sync feature.
2006-04-06 15:39:52
 
Quite enjoyable.
2006-04-06 15:40:40
 
I was expecting cactus chef....
2006-04-06 15:40:46
 
Superb work. Excellent choice of pictures, and fairly good synching. Wish the pictures were a bit bigger and that you could've synched up the "JFK blown away" line with a clip from the Zapruder film, but that's not going to keep me from giving you the hig
2006-04-06 15:41:03
 
5'd for understanding when the sync function is needed.
2006-04-06 15:42:33
 
f*cking win. Period.
2006-04-06 15:43:53
 
The reason the pics arn't bigger is that I had to fit 137 pictures (including the lyric frames) into 3 MB.
2006-04-06 15:43:56
 
good, nice use of the new flash thing, its a little off though
2006-04-06 15:46:07
 
Bout time, spruce up the site and make it betta! good job
2006-04-06 15:46:18
 
Well done YTMND for a C+ song. 4/5 But you did find my favorite pic of Marylin Monroe.
2006-04-06 15:49:48
 
-2 for a couple of obvious errors
2006-04-06 15:50:02
 
corn dogs, chili cheese, choco-babies, dirty knees. 5 for this, even if, your syncan hate is not so spiff. rhyming post, Markie Post, Space Ghost live from coast to coast. We didnt 5 the fire blah blah blah blah comment.
2006-04-06 15:50:28
 
a little off, but, nice.
2006-04-06 15:51:38
 
if it's slightly off - refresh it.
2006-04-06 15:53:27
 
Good job man
2006-04-06 15:58:59
 
awesome
2006-04-06 15:59:31
 
I have to 4 this. I'll tell you why. Apart from im surprised you were the only one to do this, you did an amazing job. The part that made me give you a 4 was at some parts, it was unsynced and was kinda messed up. But dude, this is an amazing ytmnd.
2006-04-06 16:01:59
 
well thats just plain supa special awesome
2006-04-06 16:03:47
 
Nice work
2006-04-06 16:14:18
 
2006-04-06 16:43:34
 
Cruising to the top five.
2006-04-06 17:10:07
 
I love the idea but Billy Joel is a giant pussy with a piano
2006-04-06 17:14:43
 
the more time I spend here, the more I start to think inkdrinker is right about everything.
2006-04-06 17:15:28
 
WOW. One of the coolest YTMNDs I have EVER seen. Perfect sync, Perfect song, Perfect 5. I'm 5'ng all your sites.
2006-04-06 17:17:47
 
Great work dude
2006-04-06 17:19:09
 
so much work finding the pics, well done sir
2006-04-06 17:19:21
 
Take it to newgrounds, thanks.
2006-04-06 17:21:00
 
5 For Billy Joel and I wish I could 5 more for Sitsu's comment.
2006-04-06 17:21:15
 
"the more time I spend here, the more I start to think inkdrinker is right about everything." - im glad someone thinks like i do
2006-04-06 17:22:04
 
haha waht program do you use for your gifs
2006-04-06 17:23:23
 
love it
2006-04-06 17:25:55
 
this is original, i like it!
2006-04-06 17:29:18
 
i would love u if only it didn't get out of sync hlaf way through, i thought that wasn't supposed to happen anymore
2006-04-06 17:30:30
 
3 for effort.
2006-04-06 17:32:00
 
^don't picture it going to the words exactly - i have the transitions going more to the rhythmn of the music, especially the drums
2006-04-06 17:38:24
 
Well done. Very well done. It needs a few more fixes for timing in places, but very well done assembling all the pictures and everything. I applaud your skill!
2006-04-06 17:39:37
 
YES
2006-04-06 18:09:00
 
As a person who had to do a report on every event/person listed in that song in 7th grade, I applaud you for volunteering to do this.
2006-04-06 18:23:10
 
5 for Billy Joel
2006-04-06 18:44:53
 
I apllaud your excellent timing and good use of flash, huzzah
2006-04-06 18:51:44
 
+25 GP!
2006-04-06 18:59:48
 
1 for awful synching.
2006-04-06 19:15:31
 
ahh rocking awesomely sweet
2006-04-06 19:30:16
 
damn good with the syncing!
2006-04-06 19:50:36
 
great stuff man, thanks for putting in the effort
2006-04-06 20:29:33
 
Good job stealing this verbatim from: http://home.uchicago.edu/~yli5/Flash/Fire.html If it took you 25hrs to import/export something in Flash, that's really sad.
2006-04-06 20:42:55
 
^Too bad I didn't. I used flash versios as an example to accumulate it myself. I don't believe in doing things the easy way or know how to convert flash to gif. So why don't you shut the f*ck up and bow before the King of Kings?
2006-04-06 20:56:48
 
Been Done Before. Search Newgrounds... lol. (the newgrounds one is better IMHO)
2006-04-06 22:43:04
 
So Ozone, you're UChicago? Millit=AB '04. Woohoo!
2006-04-06 23:37:06
 
the new loading helped ya out
2006-04-07 05:30:58
 
LOL, 5'd
2006-04-08 18:48:16
 
1. done before as others have said. 2. flash loaded and you still f*cked up the timing? jeez. All the pics are late.
2006-04-09 09:25:19
 
It still could use a lot of syncing work, a lot of the images are late, especially in the beginning. If you're going to fix it do it right.
2006-04-09 14:41:05
 
^the sync is fine for me. Also, if you're going to be so critical, YOU try getting 137 pictures to sync to a song PERFECTLY
2006-04-09 16:34:04
 
If I had one chance to issue a five, you would recieve it.
2006-05-14 15:57:44
 
Don't hate on this site. This took a lot of work I'm sure.
2006-05-27 18:15:37
 
incredible
2006-05-28 11:58:49
 
Win!
2006-06-03 22:01:02
 
this song needs an update for all the sh*t that happend from when it endded to today.
2006-06-18 15:37:38
 
5 for the Lebanon pic.
2006-06-18 16:53:53
 
Awesome song
2006-06-19 13:04:46
 
All you did was turn the video into a YTMND.
2006-06-19 13:06:27
 
5 for Castro.
2006-06-19 13:09:22
 
this is great!!!
2006-06-19 21:46:58
 
I love this YTMND but damnit man. You need to end it. Just let the last frame play a little more. It ends way to aburptly. For the love of god man just let the song finish.
2006-06-20 11:54:54
 
^If it goes any longer, the mp3 size is too large for upload, and degrading the quality any more makes it unbearable to listen to.
2006-06-23 10:17:20
 
5 for hard work and a good song
2006-06-24 00:46:39
 
good song + history = 5. also, saying this has been done in a completely different style on a different website is irrelevant to this ytmnd's quality... idiots.
2006-06-24 15:26:42

I STARTED THE FIRE
2006-06-24 23:55:44
 
w.o.w.
2006-06-25 22:02:53
 
much better version of this almost same exact thing at http://home.uchicago.edu/~yli5/Flash/Fire.html
2006-06-25 22:03:57
 
you copied every picture from that dont think ur special or sh*t
2006-06-25 22:09:31
 
Well done that man!
2006-06-26 00:41:05
 
WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE. IT WAS ALWAYS BURNIN' SINCE THE WORLD'S BEEN TURNIN'. WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE. NO WE DIDN'T LIGHT IT BUT WE'RE TRYIN' TO FIGHT IT.
2006-06-28 05:43:09
 
I loved it.
2006-06-30 17:21:12
 
The Rosenburg's kids went to my school-ness
2006-06-30 17:24:23
 
nice
2006-07-02 09:56:55
 
LOL FIRE!
2006-07-07 15:39:41
 
Nice.
2006-07-09 10:30:23
 
~Yay for half of the things being related to communism!!~
2006-07-10 14:36:00
 
5 for Nostalgia. I'm old enough to remember when this song came out! :O
2006-07-10 23:07:12
 
LOL! Awesome song.
2006-07-14 02:43:07
 
nice song by joel but looks like a 5th grade history power point.
2006-07-19 17:34:04
 
great stuff, way to celebrate the greatness of billy joel
2006-07-19 17:34:27
 
I can't believe you found a way to make an entire song actually work in a YTMND.
2006-07-19 17:36:35
 
this ain't mtv
2006-07-20 11:46:16
 
Nice review of history from the past 50 years.
2006-07-21 15:26:37
 
5 for patience
2006-07-21 15:28:52
 
Seen this before, I love it nonetheless though. I was expecting some pun like "We just poured the gasoline." O_o
2006-07-26 12:23:20
 
ZOMG I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2006-07-26 17:32:30
 
good
2006-07-26 21:30:56
 
Billy Joel, otherwise known as THE MAN. 5'd for great justice.
2006-07-27 09:25:47
 
You win.
2006-07-27 13:22:26
 
This is not especially original... I mean, it's been done before and much better, but it's new to ytmnd, and it's damned impressive synching for an animated gif. Downvoters, let's see your sites.
2006-07-27 21:13:09
 
exellent sync
2006-07-27 21:19:17
 
you rock....almost made this 100 times but always gave up....this was before the flash....so good for you.
2006-07-28 20:10:51
 
5'd for the greatest song in a YTMND yet.
2006-07-30 22:40:53
 
Wow that was really cool
2006-07-31 10:31:41
 
best ytmnd EVER
2006-08-01 17:54:25
 
4'd for hippiness.
2006-08-05 18:25:32
 
How could a fire possibly have been burning since the world began turning? This is simply not possible.
2006-08-08 19:25:36
 
I forgot how catchy that song was.
2006-08-08 21:15:21
 
Looks like a lot of work, but the second and third verse were getting progressively more off in Firefox. I tried refreshing but it didn't fix it.
2006-08-09 19:32:22
 
holy hell...i've been hearing that song for 3 years+ at work and it's always been gibberish...i'm enlightened
2006-08-09 22:03:10
 
One of the best I have seen!
2006-08-16 19:08:52
 
nice job
2006-08-18 23:04:18
 
You people can say what you will about him stealing it from another website/Newgrounds, but I'm 5'ing anyway because this song rocks. Also, it synchs fine on my computer.
2006-08-19 23:51:52
 
Wait...it's "the cola wars"? I thought it was "the color wars"? Oh well. I guess I don't know the lyrics well enough. Amazing. 5.
2006-08-20 21:11:02
 
how long did that take?
2006-08-20 21:11:32
 
nvm description explains
2006-08-20 21:16:50
 
awesome job man, that rocked.
2006-08-20 23:19:30
 
awesome
2006-08-24 19:24:15
 
5 for all the work this musta took, -1 because it doesn't sync right. Sorry. :(
