Heres American rock group Starship with their debut single We - TopicsExpress



          

Heres American rock group Starship with their debut single We Built This City, which reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart on 16th November 1985 and was therefore No. 1 on this day back in 1985. Please click on see more for more information about this song. I hope that you enjoy it!! Written by Bernie Taupin, Martin Page, Dennis Lambert, and Peter Wolf, the song describes a city built on rock and roll music. The lyrics explicitly mention the Golden Gate Bridge and refer to the City by the Bay, a common moniker for Starships hometown of San Francisco, California. However, the lyrics also refer to the City That Never Sleeps, a reference to New York City, and The City That Rocks, a reference to Cleveland, Ohio. Capitalising on the ambiguity of the lyrics, several radio stations added descriptions of their own local areas when they broadcast the song, or even simply added their own station ident in its place. Taken from the bands debut album entitled Knee Deep in the Hoopla, the song features Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick on lead vocals. MTV executive and former DJ Les Garland provided the D.J. voice-over during the songs bridge.
