We Built this City

On a personal note, classic TFI Friday with DJ Phil at the immortal Barony Bar of the Strathclyde Union. The atmosphere of cheap booze, classic rock and roll, and foolish drunks participating in assorted bar games and disgusting challenges, there is no better way to spend a Friday. In fact, since Phil is now selling TFI "soundtracks" for 5 pounds, I jumped at the chance to buy my own copy. Not to be disappointed. Belle and Sebastian's The Boy with the Arab Strap, The Cure's Friday I'm in Love, Queen's Don't Stop Me Now, John Denver's Leaving on a Jet Plane, Oasis' Some Might Say, AC/DC's Back in Black. Classics all. But we do campy as well, and one of my fond memories of the evening was standing on a table belting out "We Built This City on Rock and Roll" in a state of delirium. So imagine my surprise to randomly discover this 2003 USA Today article that ranks the glorious 1985 hit by Starship as the "Worst Song Ever". That is right - Ever! Check out the list for yourselves, loyal readers (ie. Tim) and render your verdict. Am I wrong for delighting in "We Built this City"? Or should the Hofbrau Brass Band begin learning it post-haste?
