You know that asteroid that almost destroyed Earth in the 90s? Turns out the whole thing was secretly created by Michael Bay, who then PAID Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck to look heroic while blowing it up!

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Cueball is holding a guitar and singing on a pier.] The ship was the pride of the American side It was due to set sail forCleveland As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most With a crew and good captain well seasoned

But taking a walk on the shore by the dock Was a songwriter named Gordon Lightfoot He was humming a tune but it didn't have words For it's challenging trying to write good

Poor Gordon sought glory but needed a story His career in folk music imperiled He mulled over this as he watched them do work On the hull of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Perhaps it was wrong, what he did for a song He should never have bribed that mechanic But his maritime crimes are no worse than the time Young James Cameron sank the Titanic

[in-our-special-place]

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave

To the night and the empty skies my love

To the night and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth turn in my hand

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command my love

That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you

And felt your heart beat close to mine

I thought our joy would fill the earth

And would last 'till the end of time my love

And would last 'till the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave

To the night and the empty skies my love

To the night and the empty skies

-The First Time ever I saw your face Gordon Lightfoot
