19 - Paul Hardcastle
The 1985 release of 19 brought Hardcastle acclaim and chart success.
19 veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder was a dance record, featuring stuttering samples of television narrator Peter Thomas speaking about Vietnam war PTSD. Initially unhappy about having his voice used in this way, Thomas later relented and allowed the single to be released.

We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel
It took me some years to really understand the lyrics.
Many of these understanding came from The History Channel, NatGeo and Discovery Channel.
Things like Cola wars, Pat Moon Jong and many many more... You should Google some of the words.
