Lyrics:
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Say you don't know me
Or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes
To that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla
Sinking in your fight
Too many runaways
Eating up the night
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
Someone 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
It's just another Sunday
In a tired old street
Police have got the chokehold, oh
And we just lost the beat
Who counts the money
Underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball
Into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us
'Cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America
Coming through your schools
I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
On another gorgeous sunny Saturday
And I'm seeing that bumper to bumper traffic
Don't you remember? ('Member, 'member)
It's your favorite radio station
In your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that rocks
The city that never sleeps
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
Built this city (Oo-ho)
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
We built, we built this city, yeah
(Built this city) We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city, yeah
(Built this city) We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city, yeah
(Built this city) We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city, yeah
(Built this city) We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city, yeah

The fact you searched this song and scrolled through the comments makes you cooler than you think
That..... or I heard Dean's snarky comment about Jefferson Starship on Supernatural and had to verify that the song was as bad as I remembered. Did not disappoint. Thank you, Dean!
Catchy, though.
😂
LOL
nah this song sucks
I can't believe music critics say this is one of the worst songs of the 80's. But I don't care what they say. I think this is a great song, and I will continue listening to this song even to mock these critics who know nothing about music.
Screw the critics
Critics are there to criticize,you can't please them,fuck 'em, people just listen
You’re NOT Just Preaching to the Choir. The First Time I heard this Song, I Loved It!
Same here this song is fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I fw you heavy
Keep up the grind!😎
1980's music will never die.
No it won’t! It keeps me going- listening to the music from then makes me feel like I’m plugged in!
Part of the 1999 Born of Gen Z I love 80s music find it better the todays music.
What a uplifting song and great times!
I was 24 in 1980 and just bought a 62 Corvette for $4500. What a deal.
In 1984, I met and married the most wonderful woman I have ever known. 40 years later, she is more beautiful and amazing than ever.
We still enjoy Corvettes as I surprised her with a 22 C8 Corvette (This one is all hers). She was absolutely blown away!!!!
But better than that we have 7 children born between 1985 and 1996. Now have 5 grandchildren.
We only list to 70s and 80s music, especially when out cruising in any of our amazing cars! A happy wife is a blessing

@@devonrodriguez5363 it's 100% true, I'm on day 1034 soon to be 1035
@@thecrow4631 you can modify a comment, so people can see that is true😊
Parents surprised me on a Sunday afternoon in the fall of ‘85 with a 10 year old VW Rabbit. I was 16 and naturally, it was my first car. A bit of a clunker but it represented freedom. Before the days of cell phones so couldn’t get ahold of anyone to offer a ride to the next Monday morning, so I drove to high school on that Monday morning alone…I will never forget pulling into my high school parking lot in Orlando, FL that Monday morning and this song was playing on the radio. May be a somewhat silly song, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. Music has a way of documenting our life…
80’s is not just an age, it’s a spirit, it’s part of our inner system.
Thisi good stuff ....
As a 16 year old loving the 80s music and style more than todays, I can confirm that

Faisal hahaha, yes, I like so much this music
What radio station
Some random Person I don’t even know I heard it while I was AFKing in my apartment.
Why do people hate this song? It's awesome!
LoneRangerGaming I love the song so much but there fashion is so different cause this is back all the way in the 80s so I know why
They hate it because they remember what Jefferson Airplane used to be (and loved it) and dislikes what they turned into. Had it been an typical -80s group preforming, they wouldn't bother about the Starship production. They simply feel that Grace Slick is a sell out, that went from producing progressive rock to play mass-produced 80s sleeze-pop.
It's in the same vein as hating on Touch of Grey from the Grateful Dead.
That is terrible.
perkalov thats doesn't make any sense because if you listen to the lyrics they are being critical of corporations 30 years ago at a time when nobody was. They were ahead of there time.so your argument is flawed

The fact that this is considered one of the worst songs ever means there is something deeply wrong with society.
@@rob3125 Apparently the magazine was called "Blender." It no longer exists.
Perception of greatness changes in perspective.
It's an "OK" song at best among the hits of its era. Definitely not unique, or deep. Still, it's probably better than all of Nicky Minaj discography combined.
Blender was a tabloid, so the validity of the editors' opinion is... questionable.
Also, it reviewed an at least 10yo song, from the age before internet was actually a thing.
On that thought, why do you care for a decade old corpse of a magazine's opinion? That's worse, because it's much easier to change your perspective than society.
Don't waste energy on hate, when there's goodness to elevate.
I think it's more due to what this band was before they became Starship.
@@Belarithian There’s no “probably” about that. One might argue that Nicky Minaj’s discography hardly deserves to be called music.
@@dubfoot1659 In that case they should have argued it was the worst “(Jefferson) Starship” song in history.
After 40 years, these sounds take you back to the fantastic 80s, this is the very essence of it. Honestly I've never heard it, it's really a milestone with a penetrating sound and the primary voices have exaggerated treble. You never stop discovering wonderful bands : a big thank you to whoever uploaded this beauty.

Well it made it to number one back in the 80s so hardly the worst.
I love hearing this while trying to drive like a normal person in GTA 5
I like stay in my apartment in gta online put los santos rock radio and pretend i am a normal person go in the bathroom drink sit and watch tv see out of the windows its just a feeling that this game its really good i have many memories playing with my friends in summer and now i wait for this summer i want to be like that one
Fr me too
@@evts2180 "pretend i am a normal person" lmao
So you aren’t the only one who try’s to drive normally in gta V?
Same for me, nice to hear while driving around los santos
*For being considered one of the "worst songs of all time" it's still better than 99% of the music out today!! The 80's were the best of all time!*
This is considered one of the worst songs of all time?
@@Wafaloo Yeah, for whatever reason, it was voted the worst song of all time on many lists. I know, it's insane.
This is how you make a song in the 80’s: Hard work, talent, and dedication
How to make a song today: Look as ridiculous as possible, put a simple computer generated beat in the background, talk as quietly as possible, and use the most annoying, and negative lyrics possible.
I agree with with your first point. That's all.
FireTiger941 agreed! I’m 16 and hate modern “music”. I don’t even consider it music.

Diabetes!
Rock doesn't exist anymore these days
lol i'm only 33. but i had a great dad!. that loved everything! hope your day is good!!
FletchFTW4413 I agree that real rock doesn't exist...but we will always remember what real rock is
Nevan Kelly Thats a ridiculous statement. The real rock is street-level now. Its not on TV or the radio.
If this is considered to be the worst song in the 80s, people back then must've had a really high standards in songs.
That says a lot about our today's standards. If we can call it "standards".
True this song is great
Born as a Gen Z but I wish I could grow up in the 80s
The 80s worst songs are now good songs, and the 80s good songs are now great songs... that tells you how much music has really declined. I love these songs, and modern songs can’t compare to anything before the 2000s and even
From what I’ve heard a lot of the hate towards this song does kinda have to do with the music video in the sense where the song does kinda have that rebel against the machine vibe but then the MV does kinda promote Corporate America inadvertently through all the locations
I don’t know it was the 80s and at least 10 years before I was born so it’s not like I’m gonna say I know what happened but considering the decade I think this was at least a contributing factor
I don´t understand why this is in a wikipedia article about the worst songs ever. I absolutely love this song!!
Whatever article that is is high
15 years ago, a new magazine came out called, Blender. In order to gain popularity, the magazine made top 100 lists, mostly of worst bands, and worst songs ever. The idea worked, in that it sparked a lot of attention at the time.
However, the magazine has since gone out of business, and the bands and sings they trashed carry on.
There actually is a reason. Starship evolved from Jefferson Starship, which evolved from Jefferson Airplane. However, Grace Slick was the only member in Starship that was in Jefferson Airplane and she wasn't even in the original lineup. Jefferson Airplane was very prominent in the psychedelic rock scene in San Francisco in the 1960s and San Francisco is the song they're singing about. Because of that, people hated the song for being a lie as it wasn't the band or music that really "built this city."
This is why wikipedia isn't a valid source
@@Anonymous-js5zn Why is all that a reason why this song was called one of the worst songs ever? LOL

I'm a youth from the 80's, so yeah I still love these rock n roll songs
Greetings from France , rock'n'roll never died , never will!
Just saw them live a few days ago and surprisingly enough, they put on quite a show even at their age :)
I don't care who said it's the worst. This song has a great vibe. Always had, since the 80's...and now when you add that nostalgic feeling, it's a smash.
Davon Baker - you have no clue about anything
Amen to that my friend, it's a great song.
I loved this song and still do. Now when I think of it, in a way, Starship DID built this city on rock n' roll. From their beginning,[as Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship up to Starship]they'd definitely built a foundation for and developed rock n' roll for the coming years.
It's one of those songs that gets wrecked by a cheesy video. The lyrics are a -little- cheesy, but they could have been pulled back with a really edgy video. This video though, pulls it deeper into the cheese.
Please to see: "Rock Me Tonight" by Billy Squier.
This was one of my favorite songs as a kid
The Rolling Stone says that this song sucks. The Rolling Stone sucks.
Grace Slick also thinks this song sucks. That’s why she left the band. Once they came out with Nothings gonna stop us now, she’d had it. She couldn’t handle the cheese. I like starship their songs are catchy and good but they’re the only band whose music is cheesier than Journey.
Only logical conclusion, and also true: The Rolling Stone (the magazine, not the band; they’re the Stones) sucks
This is a generic pop song and it’s absolutely perfect.
Generic 80's pop songs are nowhere near as bad as the generic pop songs of nowadays
I really don't think it's generic at all. Why do you say it's generic? Just curious.
It’s most definitely not generic
You’re probably a millennial
@@mateorincon3448 There's quite a few good mainstream pop songs nowadays, a lot of them suck but there are some good ones.
@@mateorincon3448 nah I think this is worst than quite a lot of modern pop. Seriously the synth tones and production in this song are whack.
I adore 80's music, and part of it is a certain indefinable "haunting" quality to a *lot* of it, even the boppiest pop tunes and rock ballads. For example, here where we are rocking along but the change into the chorus just hits this beautifully wistful and haunting note that's so unique to the decade.
Ya the harmonizing and the bridges, plus the nebulous video aesthetic, and the freaking actual lyrical content……this song and many other 80s/early 90 songs really moves me too
У многих песен в 80-х были классные проигроши
One of my favorites in gta5, a true classic!
I have spent so many hours in GTA5, possibly weeks when all the time is added up, and I somehow didn't realize that this song was in GTA5.
@@ThunderSword7 same bruh
@@limited3502 It in losantos rock radio, next to nonstop radio
This song was I only reason I switched over to the rock station
Same
I don’t get how this is the worst song
I love this
71 million views people do like it ! and critical people mimic each other's coments just to fit in. These people should listen to what they like and not be so judgemental. You are on to something.
The most awesomely bad song ever. I think it was meant as a compliment. I love it!
It's just typical 80s cheesy rock
Sagutti corporatized song. Ironic lol
Because they don't appreciate music. I bet whomever made that list has a pretty un-listenable playlist on whatever device they use for music. ;)
Fun fact: They sing about changing corporation names. This group started off as Airplane, then Jefferson Airplane, then Jefferson Starship and finally Starhip.
😆
Yeah, but they are not a corporation.
Starhip is an odd name hoho... Starship yep :-)
The irony isn't lost.
What's next? Jefferson Wheelchair?
Come onnn kidssss. It's 2019. It's OK. You like this song, don't you?
You dont know how much i love the 80s and its music
much better than 2019 musics
@@TV-ks3tb true
I do. The boomers hate it thought but who cares what they like or don't like as they are NOT relevant anymore!!!!!
This is xoomers' music
Editor: what kind of effects do you want?
Starship: Yes.
Lmao
Hahaha
This is why I have over 180 songs to get stuck in my head.
you should see Jammin' Me by Tom Petty
Holy shit, too funny
2024, anyone????!!!!!!!
YES YES YEP LOL ***

80s hits are timeless. Greatest songs ever👍💯
“80 shits” lol think before you type
@@Jeyzor1 80s hit you in the head bruh why is 80s your opps? 💀
90s and 70s too
Facts I'm 45 the 80s was the best decade ever
Right?
This song gets increasingly poignant and powerful the more you realize how lost The City is nowadays. As a native who came of age and experienced San Francisco in the 80’s I now recognize that this song is both a signal of the beginning of the end of an incredible culture of homegrown rock & roll and also a harbinger of the coming destruction of a once great city that will soon lose its way and devour itself.
The City has been re-inventing itself after every major crisis since 1906.
Built this city on crackheads and failed liberalism
They'll vote Pelosi back in... Reap what you sow.
@@andrearel3703Not this time, Firstly I want to add I believe that elections have been rigged in other ways than by harvesting ballots & Voting Machines changing votes like by propaganda of the news media pushing the narrative that a specific candidate is miles ahead and better than another candidate which is a form of manipulation controlling people’s thoughts on candidates and influences many people’s perception of the true reality of the world. Of course that candidate will receive more votes from manipulating voters. They believed in 2016 they had done enough talking points to manipulate the voters saying Trump had 0% chance of winning the election and Hillary had all but won. I believe the voters now can see through the fog of lies & the people are prepared to take the cautionary measures if we get to see a 2024 presidential election. That is of course something bigger happens before then
@@iJMultiplication Which previous major crisis involved nonstop pooping in the streets?
San Fran is dead.
This song is still iconic and you cant change my mind
I will never try.
Agreed.
Amen to that
👍🏻
I will not even try it, its totaly true
This is one of my favorite songs from my childhood! I'm turning 40 in October, and I love that I still have access to so many wonderful bands/artists from the "simpler times" of my life. 🙂
You were a baby when this came out, you a 90's kid..you don't nothing about the simpler times, sorry. I was 16 when this was rockin' .. best time ever to grow up, you can't even imagine!!
@@douglashay9170 We all have our own version of simpler times, regardless. 🙂 But yeah, 80s baby/90s kid. I think my mom still has their vinyls somewhere in storage!
@melanieannplans2666 Very true ma'am, sorry if I sounded rude!! God Bless!!
@@douglashay9170 No worries at all! It's all good. Have a great day!
I am 65 and still love this song, happy times xx
What a uplifting song and great times!
I was 24 in 1980 and just bought a 62 Corvette for $4500. What a deal.
In 1984, I met and married the most wonderful woman I have ever known. 40 years later, she is more beautiful and amazing than ever.
We still enjoy Corvettes as I surprised her with a 22 C8 Corvette (This one is all hers). She was absolutely blown away!!!!
But better than that we have 7 children born between 1985 and 1996. Now have 5 grandchildren.
We only list to 70s and 80s music, especially when out cruising in any of our amazing cars! A happy wife is a blessing!
I don't care what anyone thinks this song is amazing
squid man 196 lion Hell yeah
squid man 196 lion I totally agree!!! How could anyone possibly hate this song? It is amazing!!!
Jaja te 80s people hate this song since think this song is ironic, and since they think starship changed the way they created music and saying they "built this city in rock and roll" makes it even more ironic...
squid man 196 lion That's right I still lisyen to them all then this new shit not good music in rock
squid man 196 lion I'm glad that you don't care what anyone thinks 😀😀
back in the 80s when this song came out I was 4, for 30 years I always thought they said We milked this city
I'm sure if you played rock and roll you could milk a city the same way you milk a cow.
I thought it said the coney plays them mamba
lol
lmaoooo you win!
+James Eslick I may have been like, cow are rice back then, (I was not born back then)
Day 909 of listening to We Built This City by Starship every day for a whole decade.
That's awesome! Keep it goin'!
Let us know when you reached Day 1985. Cause 1985 was when this song was released. 🙂👍
@@eddieolshefski6467 I can't believe I didn't think of that... thanks for suggesting it, I'm definitely doing that when day 1985 rolls around.
@@thecrow4631 Awesome. So far, you have been listening to this song for almost 3 years. You got another two and a half years to go till 1985 🙂👍
You got this
Every morning with the kids at our breakfast table. One more coming so I guess I'll be doing it for at least two more decades 😂
This song is the second song I ever heard with my Dad. I sat on his knee at 5 years old (1985) as he sat on a mettle folding chair and we sat in front of an old school stereo. He had his Popeye arm wrapped around my wast. Rest in Peace My Poppy!
Bless him and your family
the internet has completely ruined how I see anyone who says "daddy"
@@Sillimant_ same, I feel a tad uncomfortable when people say daddy nowadays
REALLY???? Get over your!
Sorry about your dad. I am in despair for mine too. Hugs.
Let's get this song into the Lego Movie 2!!!!!!!!!!
Or a parody!? We built this Set With LEGOBRICKS!!
+Norma Salgado no
No that's stupid don't ruin a good 80's song on a dumb ass Lego movie
+Jonathan Ruiz The first one was genuinely a good animated film. It had heart even if it was shameless advertising, unlike something like the Minions Movie.
+Sam Williamson u know jusdt love that rock n roll yu know what I am saying
One of the best starship songs ever, i grew up listening with my dad to this song and many others of the 80s-90s.
My most favorite part is when the radio speaker is talking as the beat is going in the background, many kids today have no idea what good music is the 80s-90s was the time for the best movies, music,and kids cartoons.
Absolutely 💯
I agree with you about your favorite part of the song. It creates such incredible atmosphere. I'm glad to be able to enjoy this music even though I did not catch that era
@@thanksyutbeisacn7fu6r50how is it ignorant? I’m part of the younger generation and it’s obvious it used to be way better entertainment, everything is soulless and industrialized today
The announcer in the background reminds me of Steve Miller, Living in the USA.

RIP Marty Balin, thanks for the music.
R.I.P
Thanks a lot from Poland Marty :-(
Who is Marty Balin?
Yeah...er..um...Marty Balin didn't sing on this album or reincarnation. This is Grace Slick with Mickey Thomas (Jane). Balin sang with Airplane and later Starship. But you should leave the comment on a Balin track, not these later Starship songs. Why not pick an album/song that Balin sang? Makes no sense!
@Edgehead100075 Marty Balin was in both Airplane and Starship, just not this later crap with Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick. Balin helped MAKE Starship, moron. In fact. he was in the band until about 1978.
I heard this recently in GTA V, on my way to the Altruist Cult with some random hitchhiker. I stopped the car just to listen to it :D
Is it on old gen to?
You're Boy Luis Contreras I think it is
+You're Boy Luis Contreras no only on next gen (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
***** xbox one and PC to, noob
***** And thus begins yet another TH-cam XBOX One vs PS4 fight. Meanwhile, I sit in a corner with my gaming computer, watching chaos unfold.
Imagine if you will a Saturday summer afternoon in 1992, working for a carnival company in Southern Cal. Your ride supervisor tells you to go take a break about 5 mins before Starship comes on stage. Take the moment to catch a refill on your drink and a quick toke or 2 and talk your way into the concert, even front row.
After the concert, not only did I get autographs but also went on the tilt-o-whirl, ferris wheel, and the paratrooper with various band members. One of the best days in my life.
Holy shit that sounds amazing! :O
Wow, some day you had
Coaster World Wow, you replied to a comment 3 months ago.
Blackwolfufk One in the best days of my life was the day of Starship concert, 14 February 2001 Guayaquil Ecuador.
That giant dice was the one they sang about in "Don't Stop Believing".
Rolled it one more time. Hundreds died.
I truly cannot understand why this is considered a bad song, it is a fun song to drive to etc. Granted im sure much better stuff came out back then, but i would listen to this song 1000 times before listening to the crap that comes out now!!
Very true
This is honestly one of my favorite songs of the 80s, if not ever, so I too don't see why it has such a bad rap.
it shines with 80s optimism and so wonderfully daggy it's cool.
What's up Leon?! You finally hook up with that hottie Ada?
Sure it's all fun and games when listening to this when driving but it's not when you drive off the road trying to synchronise your turns with the keytar riffs in this.
I’m 76 and I cannot get enough of the 80s.

Lmfao well said!!!
Nate White just show them a Flock of Seagulls video hahaha
Lol
Nate White It may soon be the cause again... something tells me that 80s styles are practically doomed to come back.
