The beginning of everything...

This is the alleged and mostly untrue origin of a very famous word...

In 1791 a Dublin theater owner made a bet in a pub that he could introduce a word into the language within twenty-four hours. He then went out and hired a group of street urchins to write the word he'd created, which was a nonsense word, on walls around the city of Dublin. Within a day, the word was common currency and had acquired a meaning (since no one knew what it meant, everyone thought it was some sort of test) and He had some extra cash in his pocket. However, there is no evidence to support the story, and the term was already in use before the alleged bet in 1791.
Name the word...

40:A simple song question!

This song and music video have been interpreted as a rebuttal to criticism of the baby boomer generation, from both its preceding and succeeding generations, that they were responsible for much of the world's problems.
The singer explained that he wrote this song due to his interest in history. He commented that he would have wanted to be a history teacher if he had not become a musician. Unlike other songs, the lyrics were written before the melody, owing to the somewhat unusual style of the song (most of the lyrics describe events, places and people.)
Released in 1989, the song was a huge commercial success.
Very easy question. Name the song and the singer.
