City Lights v5 monitor special
"Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares? They're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here
someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible
Write us off the page
"Marconi plays the mamba,
listen to the radio,
don't you remember
We built this city,
we built this city on rock and roll
"We built this city,
we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city,
we built this city on rock and roll"
LOL . . . when I googled for these lyrics I came up with an old USA Today article that said this song was voted "worst ever"!
Voted by WHOM? and compared to WHAT? Read on!

'We Built This City' ranks as the worst record ever
USA TODAY
"We Built This City" is the single worst single ever constructed, according to "Blender" 's ranking of reeking tunes.
The magazine's list of "The 50 Worst Songs Ever," which hit newsstands Tuesday in New York and Los Angeles and April 27, 2004 nationwide, distills the lamest popular rock-era records into one sonic landfill.
"Starship's 1985 anthem, the runaway No. 1 stinker, 'seems to inspire the most virulent feelings of outrage,' editor Craig Marks says. 'It purports to be anti-commercial but reeks of '80s corporate-rock commercialism. It's a real reflection of what practically killed rock music in the '80s.'
"Also sealing the song's fate were Starship's steep fall from grace as the admired Jefferson Airplane and 'the sheer dumbness of the lyrics,' Marks says.
[Oh, I SEE, and "Dodo dodo, dada dada" by The Police is a real winner in the lyrics division? HAHAHA (Actually I love that song too!)]
"'Blender' had no qualms about riding herd on sacred cows, inducting The Beatles' 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da', R.E.M.'s 'Shiny Happy People' and John Mayer's 'Your Body Is a Wonderland'.
"The entry most likely to peeve fans is Simon & Garfunkel's 'The Sounds of Silence'. 'It's the freshman-poetry meaningfulness that got our goat', Marks says. 'With self-important lyrics like, "Hear my words that I might teach you," it's almost a parody of pretentious '60s folk-rock.'
" 'If Frasier Crane wrote a song, this would be it.'"
Their bottom ten list starting from the worst, is:
Starship, "We Built This City"
Billy Ray Cyrus, "Achy Breaky Heart"
Wang Chung, "Everybody Have Fun Tonight"
Limp Bizkit, "Rollin'"
Vanilla Ice, "Ice Ice Baby"
Huey Lewis and the News, "The Heart of Rock & Roll"
Bobby McFerrin, "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
Eddie Murphy, "Party All the Time"
Madonna, "American Life"
Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, "Ebony and Ivory"
(originally was by Paul McCartney and WHO WAS THAT MAN who was NOT Stevie Wonder in the ORIGINAL video?)

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!
I did NOT make this up!
