We Built This City - Starship (HQ Audio)

[Springbok295]

Oh God, I remember seeing this video during lunch as a Senior in high school '85/'86. To think this was the only memorable song during our year.............blech.

[muzicgr8]

Yeah this is the version they played on the west coast stations. I lived in the San Fran area for a while. Heard it all the time. Great tune.

[ShansterBaybee]

music is so shit now a days, 80's beats all justin bieber, katy perry and the other crap! 15 years old i was so born in the wrong era

[xDroflmao1337]

this was ranked as the #1 worst song of all time by Blender Magazine. Also ranked as the worst song from the 80s by Rolling Stone.

[tcr9315]

@xDroflmao1337 - def wrong. they rocked. partied hard as f---.

[chapaz1995]

glad the muppets have got this song back so more people can actually listen to goosd music

[crewkerne21]

GREAT 80'S tune i love it :D

[TrueConservative2012]

240p we meet again...

[PARADISE7670]

I used to work at a "retro" McDonalds, and we had a juke box there.. this was one of the songs. And everytime it played, one of my the managers would look at me and say, "you played this didn't you?" I would always say, "yes.' She would just look at me like why? And I would say, "I love this song, that's why!" Was this in a movie or something though?

[PARADISE7670]

I just LOVE Grace Slick. Her voice is so powerful. She definately was meant for Rock-n-Roll. I just ordered her Memoir on Amazon. Can't wait to read it.

[chukiti1000]

un temaso!

[sarmaxsam]

one of the best songs ever made

[Planetoxo]

What a great record. So much better than the crap that's made today.

[TheSkuLLcomedyShow]

I heard a Chinese man singing this on the bus. He kept singing...We built this shitty on wok & woll. :D

[KSCfighting]

[bhandsdes]

OK, makes no sense, but I can't look away.

[selenaofseattle]

[kkisawesome]

[77cjvaughn]

[UncleRecolour]

Russ Heller disliked this

[thestickysoldiers]

Thumbs up for quality music

[hangemhigh2000]

What is Justin Bieb and lady gaga building in NEW YORK CITY? Happy New Year, Time Squares.

[hey12358y]

A pox on all on each and ever one of the snobs who sneer at this song.

[ajinbc]

Did the radio VO on this one



[Flameboy9024]

I love this song sooooooo much!

[yudiweb]

God blessed 80's!!! ameen.

[Flameboy9024]

@yudiweb Wut?

[AdziixHD]

Kneedeep in the Hoppla! hell yeah !

[gwyld]

The lyrics of this song are beyond stupid, but I just love the song.

[iwillgodownfighting2]

This song is freaking amazing, and the video just blows my mind!

[CookieMischief8]

Yes, this song is pretty lame, but you have to admit it's better than Friday. Heck, ANY song is better than Friday!

[dolbyman800]

HEY WHEN THE GUY COMES IN AS A DJ..... MY PLACE SHAKES WTF ANY 1 ELSE PICK THAT UP

[IAmMystified]

Oh it's one of those pop songs that makes you feel ashamed to like BUT like it anyway :/

It's a guilty, under the table, out of sight foot-tapper lol

Thanks for sharing this uplifting little ditty :))

[MrAdolfoSandoval]

This song is incredible

[momokoblossom88]

This is unfortunate...

[LockedShot]

lie this if you heard this in the muppets

[SonicGem5]

his little dance at 3:50 - 3:54 lol

[1969DayTripper]

this song is like "Bohemion Rhapsody" mixed with "Jump" and "Ridin' The Storm Out", amazing

[2manybadvideos]

this song should never have happened....

[666CorpseRot]

they didn't build any city with only rock and roll, everyone knows rock and roll isn't a solid foundation.

[Losuol]

@666CorpseRot They didn't build any city with only one solid foundation. They used soil analysis to determine the land with least consolidation and 'e' ratio, as well as more clay before inserting the pilings.

[GNOSISCOLECTIVA]

I care about the comments that mention the age because that is the proof the music of these days ( there are exceptions) is shit

[RAMSES777100]

sound quite rad in the muppets and i am a child of the 80s.worst song ever .have those assholes heard the fucking shit from the past two years.lets see we got the ass wipes rappers like lil wayne rapping fucking garbage or kesha or a set of bullshit songs.i will take this over the shit from now

[BossGammer]

╚(•⌂•)╝ Most awesome song ever.

[setxantiquenut]

Rest in peace, Krysti.  I'll love you forever.

[GoldenSilverKing]

THUMBS UP IF YOU NOTICED A SLIGHT OUT OF TUNE WITH THERE MOUTHS

[Disneygirl3715]

Long. Live. The 80's 

[BigWillProductions1]

I'm a proud 15 year old, who's favorite XM station is 80s on 8

[Smormu]

I love 80s music, and I'm only 5 days old!

[andmaketherain]

@Smormu Did you take an arrow to the knee yet?

[joshxxt]

@Smormu exactly

[Smormu]

@joshxxt

Jealous much? I only aged one day since my other post!

[TMfilmes]

Family Guy is wrong, this music is great haha

[Oz55730]

This is NOTt the worst song ever written!

[setxantiquenut]

@Oz55730 I ran into that this past week. The Houston Chronicle (a.k.a. the Houston Comical) jeered this as the worst rock and roll song ever. WHY?!? I was an '80s teen, and I enjoyed the hell out of this song in 1985 (still do today). It's upbeat and happy. My fellow Houstonians can razz this song if they want, but...if I must choose between "We Built This City" and some retarded garbage from Lady Kaka or Justin Gay-ber, then Starship will win each time. Rock On!!

[zumpy123]

Am i the only one who enjoys this song? hahahaha i think its terribly catchy

[maccafan77]

@zumpy123 You are not alone, I like it a lot too. Catchy indeed.

[chiwawaboy77]

I like the 80's and all, but this song really really sucks...

[Oz55730]

I love Music of the 80's and the 90's but I would halve to say the 80's was the best decade of music. No other genneration of yesterday nor tommorow will ever beat that

[anotherwrld]

In Rock Band next week. :O

[ultrastark1]

this is what u call the real thing..............real uckin music

[ultrastark1]

90 dislikes what da fuck

[CookieMischief8]

We constructed this socioeconomic metropolis upon geological substrate and rotational motion!

[HandofDoom01]

@CookieMischief8...Advance upon me brethren!

[theestudio360]

como dice alex lora: Y QUE VIVA EL ROCK AND ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

[therealbrooksie]

how is this and friday the worst songs ever? theres even worse songs out there cough cough how to love cough

[bhstone1]

No clue why this is ranked as a bad song. I thought it rocked!

[SteamMonkey115]

Did you know that a man listened to "We built this city" 346 times.

[egsnchz2]

I had to Google because I was trying to place when this song hit #1 while I had listened to Casey today from the oldies....it brought back memories when music was gr8! 11-16-85 wow that was a long time ago.......

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

This was Starship's first #1 song in any of the group's three incarnations (as either Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship or Starship) & was the #1 song on "Casey Kasem's American Top 40 - The '80s" the week ending November 16th, 1985. After 20 years @ this point, Grace Slick & Co. finally reached the very tip-top of the pop chart!

Bravo, Starship!

[dogo77777777]

How the fuck did I get here? last thing I remember I was look up stuff for my history project...

[Hot80s]

Shittiest Song of All Time.

[r41d3n518]

@Hot80s WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE THEN?

[drones15]

im a teen ager but still loving 80s, 90s newwave song!!!!

[DraggingDogButtFilms]

1:27 da fuck?

[Tessmage]

Hard to believe that this was the same band who did "Ride The Tiger..."

Peee-yew is right.

[MrBolas33]

Peeee-Yeww!

[Akeuw]

My friends dad is in this band.

[ialwaysgetkicked1]

they built this city on rock and roll yet they sing......a pop song......lol

[MrReacks]

thanks is beatiful music!!! jeejeje whats remembers

[HouseoftheRisingSun6]

This was in Rock of Ages!

[BootyFister]

This is the greatest song ever written.

[under88Me]

cheesy but funny

[HouseoftheRisingSun6]

@StevenLJohnson Must be tone deaf.

[bfbjr]

@StevenLJohnson In the 80's it was, yes. 26 years later, it's brilliant compared to the shite out there today.

[kingbrude]

I love Starships music & I also cant understand why so called experts rubbish them, Ive seen this vid many times over the years but have never noticed 4:16 Luna Park before, I only know of Luna Park in Melbourne & Sydney Australia, Is there others in the USA or is this one of ours?

[5syaoran77shin5]

rock én' roll abraham lincoln :)

[ForgivenessLove1]

I heard this song on Muppets Comercial :D

[SuperKinkyBanana]

epic omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!



[instant44able]

Do you really want to hurt me. THAT is the worst song of the 80's. Grace Slick was the most beautiful woman in rock period.

[ZombieFaceKilla]

Fuck YEAH !!!!! 80's!!! Woot!!! IM proud to say that I'd rather prefer to hear 80's music instead of that pile of crap they play now and im 17 years old ! =D

[SuperKinkyBanana]

@ZombieFaceKilla your right its shit on the radio now

[ultm8ninja]

@ZombieFaceKilla I'm. Exactly. The. Same.

[AmadeusAxoid]

@ZombieFaceKilla 18 here, Stuck in the 80's :D

[TheJosephValentino]

@ZombieFaceKilla enjoy the decade ur in. thats my opinion. i love this music and i love all the new stuff

[sleepyJem1982]

@ZombieFaceKilla

stop stating your age,who cares ,just enjoy the music!!

[Gfederico2000]

@ZombieFaceKilla I FUCKING LOVE THE 80s AND THE 70s ps LONG LIVE DISCO!!!DISCO SHALL BE THERE WHEN WE NEED IT MOST!!! YOU GO GET'EM DISCO GUY!!!!

[N0WYO]

Ah Grace, where have our looks gone? :- P

[IMakeOrWatchVideos]

HQ 240p! :/

[somewhatlongdong]

this song isn't great, but it's nowhere near the worst song of the 80s.  listen to "crush on you" by the jets, now that's a contender.

[khlbt]

Such big hair =)

[avionicswirenut]

@khlbt Wish I still had my hair......80's rule....

[2jeremyable]

brick house

[djjay09]

HQ?? u having a laugh! suggest you change the name to something that matches - like low qaulity!

[yomomsajohn]

@djjay09 Dumb ass it says audio

[sluggoII]

Only in America can an iconic band from the 1960's transform itself into a corporate sell-out pop band in the 1980's...

[cattohead]

I really hated this song in the 80's. It still sucks. RSM agreed with me. Love "Jane" though. Listen to it now!

[15bluethings]

catchy and seductive....

[7olusegun]

Was "Rock-n Roll" not an offshoot of Rhythm-n-Blues"?

Does this song & video carry a subliminal racist message (just asking)?

[selatik1]

@7olusegun Why don't you take it all the way back to Biblical times, then? Just asking.

[7olusegun]

@selatik1 What has biblical days got to do with what I said previously? Was Rock-n-Roll older than US cities?

[selatik1]

@7olusegun ??

[7olusegun]

Was this not the song voted "the worst" of the 1980s by Rolling Stone magazine?

[selatik1]

@7olusegun Who gives a rip about what a bunch of drug-damaged, aging hippies (Rolling Stone) think? Music is a wide, wide river. And every song ever written has had its detractors. So you don't like this one? Then move on. Why are you even here if you don't want to listen to it?

[JRA22FUN]

This song is horrible, for once I agree with Rolling Stone

[shawndw151]

the experts are frickin retarded...songs on the list were awesome!!! they must like this new poppy retarded crap that is bein produced nowadays...that aint real music...THIS IS!!!

[TheSkyhorse82]

Oh, and I heard this song is going to make a BIG comeback with the upcoming Muppets movie. Hehe....cool.

[TheSkyhorse82]

I listen to this song on the way to work, and I am happy for the day. Reminds me of being my 4 year old self again, dancing around the loungeroom with my little friend, needle to the groove, baby!

[tishtishx]

grace slick rules!!!

[020Roger]

Excellent song. Just don't listen to it more than twice.

[THEBONEENGINE]

This song was voted the worst song of the1980's. Too right too, its really shit.

[M00NDANCEMIKE]

@Yehbytheway That friend was you wasn't it? you're only fooling yourself

[Yehbytheway]

@M00NDANCEMIKE You now what I was waiting for someone to say that .

My mate Steeve with threee e's said they used to play it in the lisbon bar Liverpool.

It's ok to know gay people mike.

Thats you that is if you have reference then thats you that is.

Then moondance mike comes back with I think you doth protest to much.

This song to me is like cheap kebabs you can only get into it when you have had eight pints of cider.

We need alittle kitsch every now and then.

[MrKalordFlame]

fuck off yall who don't like the group or the song.... IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GTFO and dont listen to it, doesn't need your negativity, if you have hate on it, then go the fuck away. Simple as that.

[GrossnickleAS]

We milk the titties of cows not bulls!

[Yehbytheway]

My friend at where I work who was gay said in the gay clubs they would sing 'we built this city on cock and dole'

[spiborshasim]

When a lot of people talk about this song shows the popularity of it.

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

STARSHIP - THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF ASSHOLES TO EVER UNITE UNDER ONE ROOF. IF YOU'VE EVER HEARD THESE FOOLS IN CONCERT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

[screwdigitaldish]

@weneedactionnow Im hip I think its great.

[GOPsMrDependable]

Im 12 and i luv this song:)

I have two hands and I luv this song:)

I have blond hair and i luv this song :) How GAY is that

[highguy9900]

Wonder why no one sings about Oakland :/

[911Pastulio]

Everyone has mullets and dance all funky and weird. Gotta love it ;D

[911Pastulio]

i got to admit it, it feels so wrong to like this song, but it's so catchy that i gotta listen to it. WE BUILT THIS CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

@ 1:27 when abraham lincoln got up and started singeing i got really scared

[MCHS38]

I'm 15, and I'm proud to say, I love 80s music!

[UsernameIsBad1]

@MCHS38 why have i seen like 100 comments on old music syaing there age and how they love whatever song? every song i go to i see it. ??

[splurg519]

I love this one. This is one of the songs you blast the crap out of when you drive to the beach!

It's got a great beat, picks me up, and gets me ready to go!

[HandleyHalifax]

we built sioux city, we built sioux city on rock and roll!!

anyone seen that vid?

[harvardnic]

Recently voted one of the worst 30 songs of all time, but fuckit, i love it:)

[Bag0fRats]

I never cared for this much, but wasn't it MTV that called this one of the worst songs of the 80s , yet it was a # 1 around 1985 ? Touch of irony if you like that sort of thing. 

[marther40]

このような時代はもう来ないのか？もう一度この時に戻りたい！

These times do not come anymore? Go back again this time!　from japan

[suziQ27]

years and years ago, I would sing and dance to this song~while cleaning house~

and I'd embarrass the crap out of my son.

I guess that's part of being a parent...

the really fun part!

[acenace24]

Why does everyone hate on this song then go back to listening to garbage?

[amrak63]

We built this city on the San Andreas Fault...OH CRAP!!!  :o

[Supersweetguy]

@amrak63 Since when did you built that city?

[MaverickOrange]

This video is a nightmare. Grace Slick is scary as hell. I don't recall D.C. being built on rock 'n' roll but on alienable rights (or something along those lines).

[lenarends]

This video is a cocaine-fueled fever dream ... I luv it!

[ShellRage]

Omg, now I feel old....

[suziQ27]

@ShellRage

me too!

[MrAlexxluis]

this video is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

[clarencecmcgee]

Tesla plays the mamba not marconi

[therunningmanlives]

80's was the American Renaissance of music
