Starship ~ We Built This City (1985)

Yes its horribly cheesy and horribly 80s, but i still love it =) “We Built This City” is a song written by Bernie Taupin, Martin Page, Dennis Lambert, and Peter Wolf, and originally recorded by the group Starship and released as its debut single on November 10, 1985. The lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin, best known for his longtime collaboration with Elton John. The song features Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick on lead vocals, and the single version reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 on November 16, 1985, and also number one on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number twelve in the United Kingdom. The song was engineered by Grammy-winning producer Bill Bottrell and arranged by Bottrell and Jasun Martz. According to Slick, the song was written about early-1970s Los Angeles. The radio station in a late interlude references “The City By the Bay”, “The City That Rocks” and “The City That Never Sleeps”, meaning San Francisco, Cleveland and New York City, respectively. MTV executive and former DJ Les Garland provided the DJ voice-over during the song’s bridge.[2] The song was also released without the traffic report and DJ interaction during the song’s bridge (the B-side of the promotional 45-rpm record). Local stations were encouraged to make local versions. New York City, for example, included a traffic report describing conditions on the George Washington Bridge. Janice Cruz, later from the Brooklyn-based indie rock trio Dark Room NYC, appears in the
