(Photo by Rich Fury/Getty Images for The Recording Academy)As a Fall Out Boy fan, I was super excited to hear the announcement that they were releasing a cover of Billy Joel's iconic hit "We Didn't Start the Fire." But after the release, the internet was crazy with mixed reactions. Some people were super hype about the new cover, others claimed it was terrible because they left things out, including THE PANDEMIC!
First off, it's important to note that "We Didn't Start the Fire" is an incredibly difficult song to cover. (We know. Shawn tried) Fall Out Boy's rendition stays true to the original melody but adds their own unique flair with a rockier sound. They updated the lyrics to reflect current events. Some just think they should have been bigger moments included.
Read the lyrics and watch listen below. Let us know what you think about their rendition and what lyrics you would have added.

4th of July Fireworks In Las Vegas: 7 Places To Watch
Fourth of July is right around the corner so it's time to get dressed up in your best red, white and blue. Las Vegas loves to celebrate holidays in true glamour and Independence day should be no exception.
A large portion of the firework shows happen on the Las Vegas Strip with a few exceptions throughout and around the valley. If you're a last minute planner, we completely understand. If you're family loves to plan ahead, there are a few firework shows happening just a drive away.
As pretty as fireworks look they can also be dangerous. Random street fireworks will be happening all around the 702 so make sure that you protect your animals. Fireworks can be loud and scary for some animals. Please leave them in a safe room with the lights on. We also suggest parking your car in a garage (if you can) or in a safe place. Many locals will launch fireworks in their neighborhoods.
Each of the places listed below start fireworks at or around the same time. Please plan for delays or early starts. Some of the events below charge for admission. Please see each of the location's set ticket prices to appropriately plan upon entry. A couple of the firework places are free to view from the outside street and/or parking lot. We wish you a safe and joyous festivity with family, friends and close loved ones. Please be aware of your surroundings and don't stand too close fireworks.
If you're posting your firework shots on social media— tag us and we will show you some love with a double tap.
