Albert Einstein's surname is included in the Billy Joel song called "We didn't start the fire." for several reasons:

* Some of his ideas in physics may have contributed to the development of splitting the atom, and the weaponry associated with that;

* His ideas in physics made Newtonian Mechanics obsolete; and

* His work generated quantum mechanics as a result.

Summary: Billy's song places Einstein in the group of people who made revolutionary "fires" by their actions and ideas. Thus the fire was already there and Billy Joel and others simply adding on...
