obviously if you've read anything i've written here, you will know that i can be a woman with a strong opinion. life is too short for wimps and milquetoasts, and so it goes for my opinions about music. jefferson airplane's we built the city is the most annoying song in the history of the world. i've always hated this song with a passion and am disappointed that i came from an era of music that produced this shit
now, i realize that there are so many candidates for the shit song award, but mine will forever and ever go to this unfortunate composition. i liked jefferson starship when they were jefferson airplane and put out songs like white rabbit and somebody to love. but this song makes my ears bleed.

I hate that song with a passion it brings up bad memories as a child. When my parents didn't have the best of marriages. We went looking for my dad and that song was playing. I was in elementary school. I still shut it off when I hear it.
and that's why i hate it, ida!!!! only for YOU!
Mindi, you are so right. That song reminds me of my first year of early morning seminary. 5:45 am, Michigan winter. Misery.
Where do you find these things...a cat with a machine gun...who comes up with them. I don't really care because they make my day! A great way to start out the morning. Muchas Grassyass.
That machine gun cat is so funny! This song gives me the cringes because my dad would sing it to my mom(ugh this is giving me dry heaves just typing this)only change the words to "we built this marriage on love and trust" Oh man I've got to go rinse the bile out of my mouth.
yeah, that song is pretty stinky! But what about "Rico Suave"? or "I'm too sexy" by Right Said Fred. Oh, and that one by Rupaul (sashay, shonte)...there are a few that prolly have some pretty sweet videos to go with 'em! What were they thinking?
I have to admit, I really liked this song when it first came out. Now that I'm alone singing it to myself, sitting at my desk, I realize... it's pretty obnoxious!
Pretty bad, but I must say "Kokamo" by the Beach Boys rivals it. Your yard is beautiful by the way.
The cats just made my day.
Ha, you know I like that song! But even though you and I disagree on Starship and Special Dark, we can still be friends, right?
stephanie---you know it's ALL love between us.......even if you like special dark.
that's a big step for me. and it shows my commitment to our relationship.
good talk.
JORI!!! that is so bad and sooo funny.
whaaa? HOW HOW HOW can all of you not want to GET DOWN to that song? and by "get down", I mean DANCE. not make sweet love.
I believe that song was the background for one of my first attempts at choreography. I was stellar. The song MADE IT stellar. don't hate mindi. I think you need to close your eyes, imagine 3 6th graders (one that was a dead ringer for kimi gibler (full house fame- and that would be me) pouring their expressive tweeny-bopper angst into that jem of a song. it's magic, really.
MAGIC.
I'm braving it and putting it out there. ANY country song, the twang just doesn't make me swoon. It's bad cuz I married a guy that loves music, ALL music and finds good in it. I just can't agree with him.
And now it will be stuck in my head all the live long day. Do you have some vid of Tib with a machine gun?
I too hate this song. And pretty much any song by Dan Fogleberg. And Eddie Murphy.
What does that mean anyway, "We built this city on Rock and Roll"? I agree, one of the worst ever!
mindi- this consumed my thoughts for most of the day. my top three worst:
3. eddie murphy- "my girl loves to party all the time". but i always sing republican party all the time because i love political humor.
2. tweet- "oops, oh my" that truly horrible song about her clothes falling off. good night woman, if your clothes don't fit, get a tailor!
1. lou bega- "mambo #5". i die a little each time i hear this song.
I agree with you, it is a pretty lame song but my all time least favorite song is "All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow. It's like hearing nails on a chalkboard.
I want to gouge my eyes out when I hear "photograph" by nickelback or "follow me" by uncle cracker. UGGGHHH! I get mad just thinking about those crap tunes!
I couldn't agree more. How ironic is it that a group of college songsters graced our school stage yesterday with an assembly and one of the numbers was this wretched song! I sat in my chair thinking, "why would anyone pick this song to perform a song and dance routine to?" It is one of the LAMEST songs EVER! Another lame-o song that I CANNNOOOOTTTTTT stand. . ."I Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. We were forced to sing that song in middle school choir. I feel like the DEVIL himself enters my body when I hear it. I can't get away from it quick enough!
I like it but I like Electric Avenue better.
"We gonna rock down to electric avenue...& then we'll take it higher"
I so love that you just used "milquetoast." In fact, it may have converted me to blesbianism. I'm blogging's answer to Anne Heche. Without the alien wack-a-doo part.
I hate "People are People." Ironically, the fact that Depeche Mode can't understand what makes a man hate another man makes me want to punch them in the face.
They played this song last week on XM...it magically (and tragically) transported me back to '87 while I (please hold your self) DANCED to this song.
Anytime this hideous, song of the devil, came on I'd happily jump up and yell "we built this city!".
This shows you that youth in wasted in the young.
The End.
I love "We Built this City."
