Cine-Verse! The Towering Inferno (1974)

A building stands tall, reaching out towards space,
With a party on top to laugh in God's face.
Made of glass, and of steel, and lots of cheap wire,
This tower was perfect for catching on fire.
The guest have their shindig and none of them know
That danger is spreading 50 stories below.
McQueen tries to tell them they should all run away
But they'd rather keep hanging with Faye Dunaway.
So they continue their party without so much panic,
Blind to the fact that it's a towering Titanic.

This movie has taught me these things about towers:
They're capable of burning for hours and hours.
Elevators are death traps and we should all fear them,
And stairwells explode whenever you're near them.
Wet towels won't protect you when worn like a hat.
But O.J. Simpson will save you (if you are a small cat).
