When Edgy mentioned in the first-round tilt that Lundy's "We didn't start the fire" was done before I kinda knew it was -- but hadn't remembered I'd done it.

It got me looking through the files furiously and I found it. I don't have the actual thread it appeared in -- it wasn't a contest but a reply talking about Benitez, on May 14, 2002.


Harry Parker, Owenby, Bob Shaw, Norm Sherry
Rigo Beltran, Tim Burke, Jesse Orosco
Jim McAndrew, Guetterman, Isringhausen, Gunderson
Komiyama, Kashiwada, Armando Reynoso

Hamilton, Hudek, Cory Lidle, Lockwood Skip
Roger Mason, Doug Sisk – can we take another risk
Roy Lee Jackson, Bob McClure, what else do you want us for
Greg McMichael, Tommy Moore, will someone shut the goddamn door?

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Pulsipher, Pete Smith, Joe Sambito, Yorkis
Grover Powell, Tracy Stallard, Jonathan Hurst
Don Aase, David West, Charlie Williams, Shourek
Bill Hepler, Ron Herbel, which one was the worst

Guthrie, Denehy, New York’s got a scary team
Mauro Gozzo, Brent Gaff, Greg Goosen, Bruce Chen
Rich Rodriguez, A Young, Cal Schiraldi, Reardon
Mel Rojas, Bob Friend -- trouble in the bullpen!

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Mike Fyrie, Brian Rose, Kenny Rogers, Tug McGraw
Neil Allen, Pat Mahomes, answering the bullpen phone
Ron Taylor, Tom Hall, heart-stopping baseball
Buzz Capra, Don Cardwell, children of late-inning hell

Dennis Cook, Jerry Cram, get this team out of a jam
Toby Borland, Cisco, here comes Acevedo
Apodaca, Espinosa, Nolan Ryan, Jack DiLauro
Brent Hincliffe, Jeff Innis, help us Johnny Franco!

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Ray Searge, Johnson, no one out and two men on
Musselman, Jim Mann, Chuck Taylor, Ed Glynn
Roger Mac, Sugar Kane, Ralph Terry, Randy Tate,
Roberts, Rusteck and Riggan, bring David Weathers out again
Bob Rauch, Hal Reniff, warming up: Another stiff
Jacome, blown away, what else do I have to say

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

John Pacella, Vinegar Bend, Pete Walker, back again
Moorehead, Whitehurst, Terry Leach, they’re the worst
Brad Clontz, Ed Lynch, we need you guys in a pinch
Seminara, Falcone, Schiraldi, Candyman
Barry Jones cannot hide, Barry Manuel -- suicide
Blown leads, lost games, heart attacks, migraines
The bullpen always makes us sore, no matter what the time or score
Benitez’ finger in a door, I can't take it anymore!

We didn't start the fire
But when we are gone
Will it still burn on, and on, and on, and on...

Any song that mentions Bill Hepler belongs in the Hall of Fame.

That might have been one of the songs that led to the creation of the Parody Contest.

It was stored on zip discs saved from my old computer, along with some other old classics, I'll try to post later.
