Her

We’re in the dying weeks of 2013 and like all good things, they eventually have to come to an end. 

The year has been great but like everything it has had its ups and downs. Especially for those in show business.

This video pays a spectacular tribute to every celebrity news story of the year through song.

Using the Billy Joel’s hit, ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’, the lyrics are reworked to create one showbiz masterpiece.

Have they covered everything?

 

Showbiz lyrics: 

Lindsay Lohan, Daniel Day, Red Carpet, Tina Fey
Ryan Gosling, Oprah Winfrey, and DiCaprio.
Jen McCarthy, Katy Perry, Henry Cavill, Halle Berry,
Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Manti Teo

Lone Ranger movie bomb, Miller’s gay, Kim’s a mom.
Argo, TMI, British diver says he’s bi
Overplayed, Unemployed, England’s got a new boy
Game of Thrones, Halftime Show, Breaking Bad good bye

We’re gonna start a fire
Every page we’re turning
Ought to wind up burning

We’re gonna start a fire
And we’ll burn the Globe
And then the National Enquirer

Seth MacFarlane, Gyllenhaal, Miley Cyrus wrecking ball,
Lady Gaga, Star Wars Saga, Michael’s crooked doc.
Emma Stone, Woods and Vonn, Weiner’s Weenie, Comic-Con,
Jackass Grandpa falls, Rihanna’s getting stalked

Chris Pine, Charlie Sheen, Blackfaced stunt on Halloween
Simpson’s Waist, Timberlake, Honey Boo Boo, Harlem Shake
J-Lo, Seacrest, Heidi Montag shrinks her chest
Nancy Grace, Basket Case, Reese’s drunken rage arrest

We’re gonna start a fire
Every thing they’re typing
Is a flood of hyping

Trick Shot, Cumberbatch, Tipping Scandal, Grumpy Cat
Frankie’s sick, Shia’s high, Lamar Odom’s DUI
Aniston, Singer brawl, Ratings drop for Idol.
Shark Weather Homicides, Endless string of famous brides

Katie Holmes, Miranda Kerr, Space Movie, Gay Slurs
Nepotism, Russell Crowe, Fifth for Grand Theft Auto
Newsroom, Iron Man 3, Zombies and Duck Dynasty
Home wrecker, Taylor Swift, Butter makes you racist

We’re gonna start a fire
It’s so irritating
How they build their ratings

No control, Hiddleston, Alec comes unglued again
Mug Shots, Love Knots, Water Weight, Thrift Shop
Chloe/ Zooey, Viral Vines, Hunger Games and Blurred Lines
Jon Hamm, Anchorman, Kristen loves Pattinson

Poker Fortune, Carrie’s Live, Made a baby on the side
Affleck, Hasselbeck, Abs, Aps, New Duets
What Does The Fox Say, silver screen for Shades of Grey,
Cyrus Twerks and Bieber pees, can we have some real news please?

We’re gonna start a fire
Every page we’re turning
Ought to wind up burning

We’re gonna start a fire
But when this year is gone,
It’ll still go on, and on, and on, and on…
