不能看= =这名字让我联想到fire the hole

附上歌词
说老实话一个人要是完全能凭自己的耳朵听懂所有典故，那他可以就读哈佛现代史专业了

我听到个艾森豪威尔

原始恶魔

说起来他不会为了押韵才乱点名的吧= =

原始恶魔

应该是已经读完毕业了吧

当然不是乱点名的，基本都是按历史顺序

原始恶魔

那为啥尼克松和肯尼迪两个人复数出现而且次序很乱呢？

一看你就是没学好美国历史
尼克松第一次出现是麦卡锡时代的著名参议员，第二次出现是就任总统
肯尼迪的情况类似，第一次出现是当总统，第二次出现是被刺（JFK专指肯尼迪遇刺事件）

原始恶魔

那个，原来如此
其实我对古代史比较感兴趣

古为今用，如果对500年前的事情研究得如数家珍却对50年前的事情都不清楚，那这些知识又有什么实际作用呢，年轻人啊觉悟吧

We Didn't Start The Fire

怎么我 听到的只是We  Start The Fire

还是RAP的部分 是当前出现图象的英文，人名或者是什么的名字

其他没有考究

冰封的松花江

500前年的事情怎样才能证实为真呢,在地球250光年处又没有镜子

我也就奇怪

的确是听不出有didn't 这个词
算我耳拙

可是西方人唱歌或者说话，当然不会像英语磁带那样一个字一个字念
