'We Didn't Start the Fire,' A History Lesson from Billy Joel.

Here's a professional version with video clips from famous historical events -- a few seem out of sync, such as the first picture of Richard Nixon, supposedly in the late 1940s, but shows him waving goodbye to the nation in 1974. Otherwise, it's an interesting video.
There are lots more versions of this music video posted on You Tube.
