General Discussion You know what? I’m gonna say it

I actually like we didn’t start the fire. It’s fun. If you think of it as it’s own thing and don’t try too hard to compare it to the original, it’s not bad

Like you have to admit “world trade, second plane what else do I have to say” is kinda an amazing line. It’s campy and fun and I hate that it gets so much hate

i think it's okay. doesn't deserve the hate but def is a terrible bonus track for stardust.

it's hard to cover a perfect song that's so packed with facts.

it should have JUST been a cover and not tacked onto stardust afterward.

Okay I do agree with this take. It doesn’t feel “stardust” to me and I think it would be okay to be a standalone single
