1989년 11집 Storm Front의 2번 트랙. 이 곡은 빌리 조엘이 한 젊은이와 대화를 하는 중에 당시 젊은이들이 너무나 현대사에 대해 아는 것이 없는 것에 영감을 얻어 2차세계대전 이후의 현대사의 큰 장면을 미국 중심의 시각에서 노래의 형식으로 만든 것. 이 노래 한 곡에 담긴 단어들이 갖는 의미만 검색을 해봐도 미국인이라면 현대사의 큰 흐름을 정치, 경제, 사회, 문화적인 전 분야에서 대체로 이해할 수 있을 정도. 우리나라에서는 지명도가 높은 곡은 아니지만 빌보드 차트 1위를 차지할 정도의 인기는 얻었다.

한국과 관련된 가사는 3번 나온다. North Korea, South Korea, 빤문좀Panmunjom, 싱먼리Syngman Rhee. 6.25 전쟁은 미국에서도 많은 피를 흘린 전쟁이며, 이승만은 4.19 혁명 이후 미국으로 망명했기에 관계가 없다고 할 수 없다.

그리고 야구와 관련된 가사도 몇 번 나오는데, 이걸로 봐서 빌리 조엘도 야빠로 인증한 셈이 된다.
