In the third stanza of the song, Billy Joel mentions "Panmunjom" (and rhymes it with "H-Bomb"). What famous event happened in Panmunjom in 1953?
Answer Korean War armistice signed
The building in which the armistice was signed is still in Panmunjom. At the time, it was a very small village near of the border on the North Korean side. The 4th largest flagpole in the world is situated very close to Panmunjom.
