Every night I rock myself to sleep...which would explain why I get so little cuz who can fall asleep to rock? I have to switch to something like Enya to actually make me sleepy (I like Enya but this is all fact lol).
BTW, my ratings are based on 80's values and taking into account they used more synthesizers and the like back then...plus after listening again I think I give this version a generous 3/10... :)
obviously this is the best version of the song. april wine had the idea right,but some of the ways they said certain parts of the song didnt sound so good. grace got it PERFECT.
I love anything Grace does!! I never heard this before she did it so as far as I'm concerned, this is her song. I loved this song. I think it worked fine on this album. The song that really choked me was Love Rusts. Crikey! What an aweful song. I like the rest of the album. LOVE Babylon......Desperate Heart. Going to play them now. Thanks for putting them on here.
@terrikitties Actually I think 'Love Rusts' is one of the best songs on that album! Grace & Mickey sing well together! This song comes in 4th or 5th if I was to rate the whole album.
@jetty1962 Kimberley Rew and Vince de la Cruz of Katrina and the Waves wrote the song, but April Wine originally performed it? I don't think so, idiot.
Hang on people. You want to hear something horrible, check out the cover of this song done by ''Katrina and the waves''. Yes, the very same group that gave us ''walking on sunshine''. Talk about a total lack of soul or heck, even production. Check it out.
@covrace Actually, Katrina and the Waves were the band that originally did this song, not Starship. Starship covered it as did April Wine. April Wine's version, however, is by far the best because, well, they are the only one of the three that does music like this. The other 2 are too poppy for this song. However, this isn't a horrible cover. The original version by Katrina and the Waves does really suck, though.
This was my favorite song on its album because Grace was and always will be my favorite band member. I like it MUCH better than their other material and I'm definitely an Airplane girl, but I also realize the band was just evolving with the times. This is definitely my favorite Starship track. Thanks for posting!
I think April Wine is one of the most underrated rock bands ever, but I'm giving the nod to this version. I think it's the drums. And Kevin DuBrow's scream at the beginning.
You have to be kidding Blue, April Wines version rocks and the Video is one of the best ever, This is still good. I don't have to dislike one to like the other.
Uh, this actually rather fun ;). I dunno why Starship has to take SO MUCH CRAP - I mean, We Built This City IS catchy, and even if they were kinda selling out - well as long as you don't compare 'em to 60's Airplane (and unlike Kiss and Aerosmith etc. who also made 80's pop-metal comebacks they did at least change their name), it's not like they were THAT BAD... I mean, this is far better than... Human Leafue :P... Or The Strokes (who're not 80's but stink anyway) :P
Starship DON'T have to take so much crap. This shite song, on the other hand, does and Starship didn't even write it.
Guess they thought they could change it. It's like shit relationships when people think they can change their lover but it never works. Same with this song.
Starship are one of my favourite bands of the 80s. This song just happens not to be any good. Look at my Love Among The Cannibal videos.
well, its nonsensical, stupid and idiotic... but that does seem to be the point. I'd prefer it to many of their bigger hits anytime. Sure, if you think 'Somebody To Love' and then this, you get a bad taste in the mouth, but since they DID change names, I see no reason to do so. As for your anger against this song - why'd you upload it then :P - I won't be able to listen to it on repeat, but like it now in a while

April Wine's version is way better, IMHO. It's cool to have another version to compare it to though... AW's version: 8/10... Starship's: 4/10

Katrina and the Waves, did some great songs.
"Walking on Sunshine." "Do you wanna see me crying."
geargail 3 years ago
That's "Do You Want Crying".
They also did "Going Down to Liverpool", covered later by The Bangles.

No they did their version in 1989!

1) I'm not angry. My aggressive language exaggerates my feelings.
2) I uploaded it because I was uploading the whole album. I like some songs but not all on this album.
I also uploaded it so's anyone who wants to get the audio using Audacity can. Nowhere else on Youtube is there this full album.
