America’s Funniest MBA Videos

4) We Didn’t Start the Crisis / New York University’s Stern School of Business

Talk about talent! Billy Joel condensed 45 years into “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” Well, Sana Khan found enough material in 2 years to write her parody. Chronicling the economic meltdown, Khan fingers the usual suspects: Congress, home owners, and Bear Stearns…to name a few. MBAs may have helped caused the mess. But as Khan sings, her generation of graduates will be the ones who clean it up.

Best Line:  “We didn’t start the crisis. /

But the market’s been crashing /

So we’re taking a lashing. /

And we didn’t start the crisis. /

But we’ll fix it anyway /

Once we get our MBAs.”
