I'd like to see Billy Joel do an updated version sometime that catches up to present day. There's a heck of a lot of stuff thats happened since he wrote the song that could easily be added into new lyrics.

I hate this song. I had to do a project in 7th grade where I explained every lyric of the song. It ruined it for me.

Loved it since I first heard it at 6 Flags when I was 6. I never understood what the lyrics were until my senior year in high school when my teacher spent 2 days talking about the song and we had the lyrics. I looked over it, and she asked what the lyrics meant and I looked up and said "It's every year".

That was a Social Studies class in a song. It's how I studied for my exam last year, I just listened to that a couple times.

This year's History course is covered by a song too, Rasputin.
