Yet Another World History Quiz

[CivLuvah]

Ok. Since I'm a history buff myself, I'm going to post a world history quiz myself. As I notice with other world history quiz there are some rules to follow so here are my own set of rules.:

1. First Person A will give a question the rest will try to answer.
2. Person A must confirm the correct answer from the other answers.
3. The person which has the correct answer (Let's call him Person B) will ask another question. A player must wait until someone answers Person B's question.
4. Repeat
5. If the person asking the question doesn't login in to confirm the answer in 3 days, anyone can ask another new question.
6. The person who asks the question can set the difficulty of the question either Student (Easy), Teacher (Medium), History Buff (Hard), Professor (Advanced).
7. If the answer is comfirmed & the new person doesn't post a new question in 3 days, anyone can ask a new question.
8. Strictly no Internet research unless if the person who asks the question tells you that you can freely search. For book sources, cite your sources.
9. Be creative of your questions. You can upload pics. Just make your questions entertaining.
10. NO SPAMMING. EVER.

Ok. Me first. This is in "History Buff" category.

Which one of these events did not appear in Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"? There are seven. Then after you seperate the one that appear on the song & those that aren't, you must arrange them in chronological order to make it more difficult. Seperately arrange the ones that didn't appear in the song & the ones that appear in the song. If an event happened in the same year as the event, place the event which first happened in the year. Example:

Frisbee
Sound of Music
Kasparov

H-Bomb
Dacron
Princess Grace

Titles of movies or books or songs or shows please italicize.

JFK Blown Away, Internet, Wheel of Fortune, England's Got A New Queen, Spaceship Challenger, Pope Paul, Simpsons, AIDS, Sputnik, British Beatlemania, Eurovision, Ben-Hur, China's Under Martial Law, Marilyn Monroe, Doctor Who, Pol Pot, Einstein, Children of Thalidomide, Ho Chi Minh, Berlin Wall

Note:
The events are written as they were written in the song. Even though they aren't in the song. Example:

Red China- China becomes a Communist state
Gagarin- Yuri Gagarin was the first person to be in space

I forgot. NO RESEARCH. Just memorization & a few listenings here & there of the song.

Whats the difference between this and the other quiz?

Doctor Who, Eurovision, Internet, Berlin Wall, Pol Pot, Simpsons, Challenger are the ones that don't appear. He says Berlin but not "Berlin Wall" which went up earlier and I assume he's talking about the blockade and airlift, not the building of the wall.

Marilyn Monroe - um she's a person not an event.
England's Got A New Queen - 52
Einstein - Died in the 50s, 55 I think
Sputnik - 56 I think
Children of Thalidomide - Woulda been late 50s when it was uncovered
Ben Hur - Came out in the early 60s I believe
British Beatlemania - Early 60s I guess
Pope Paul - Took office in the 60s, died in 78. Judging by position in the song I assume Joel means his election.
JFK Blown Away - assassinated in 63
Ho Chi Minh - Could refer to several events most of which I couldn't place.
Wheel of Fortune -
AIDS - 80s
China's Under Martial Law - 88 and 89?
