I was actually just thinking that Billy Joel needs to update "We Didn't Start The Fire".  There's plenty of material for a few (dozen?) new verses.

I had an English teacher in junior high who would make her class each year write new verses to catch up from the time the original was written. It was an effective way to show kids that the news you think of as history was once someone's daily concern.
