The Ashes is just over a month away and our pundits are so excited, they've decided to sing about it!

Sky Sports cricket pundits have teamed up with rock star Elio Pace and his band for a rendition of the Billy Joel classic 'We Didn't Start The Fire' - with an Ashes twist.

The lyrics have been reworked to include references to memorable moments from Ashes past, such as Shane Warne's 'Ball of the Century' to Mike Gatting, and Gary Pratt's run-out of Ricky Ponting.

So hit the video above to see the likes of Warne, Nasser Hussain, David Lloyd, Michael Atherton, David Gower and Michael Holding unleash their singing skills.

Here are the lyrics in full…

Donald Bradman, Peter May, At The Oval, Final Day,

Little Urn, Bob's perm, Double U G Grace



Walter Hammond, Mitchell Johnson, At The Gabba, Big Decision

Chris Broad, Pons-ford, Riiiiiiiiiichie Benaud



Larwood's Bodyline, Athers slips on 99

Laker, Jones' dive, Gower flying in the sky



Baggy Greens, swing/seam, Warnie's ball in '93

Ricky Ponting, Pratty gets him, Freddie makes the bails fly!



We didn't start the fire...



10, 11 whitewash, Nasser... and that toss

Tubby Taylor, Sher-minator, Brigadier-bloc



Swansongs, follow-ons, Headingley '81

Mark Waugh, Steve Waugh, Harmy's shocking first ball



Brett Lee, on his knees, Aussies got a winning team

Davy Warner, third man, Andy Flower's En-ger-land



Jon Snow, final Test, Manchester, yes, Chef!

Thommo, Lillee, fierce pace, Bumble smacked in that place...



We didn't start the fire...
