Haven't listened to this tune in years. Sure, it's cheesy, but I'm digging it more than ever. It's odd that to my 2012 ears, I can hear a lot of similarities to 80s Yes here--musically, it's a bit like a toned-down version of something from Big Generator, say. Which I guess helps explain why a lot of Yes fans hate Big Generator, haha. But I love that album.
On Facebook there is a page called What song was number #1 on your birthday. My apologies for those born during the week of November 16, 1985 as this song was.
People of limited perception have been trashing this song for years. Forget the commercialism and the greed of magazine publishers, the rage of critics at their own impotence and the knee jerk reaction of some of the public who are self proclaimed experts of various music genre. To many of us, bewildered at the passage of time and wondering how we came to this alien place this was the Airplane ... saying goodbye..
I'm sorry, I just don't get how this song is the worst song ever. The worst you can say about it, really, is that the between-the-chorus parts are a bit forgettable.
this ranks as the worst song by VHI !!!!!!!!! WTF is that i mean the song is good really good and Europe's - final countdown is on the list too !!!! stupid critics with no good taste in music
TerrisJ3 Flameboy9024 listens to KISS, QUEEN, The Beatles now Starship. He is only 12 years old. He is just discovering all the great music out there. you need to lighten up and get a life
@TinasEntertainers That's a NO brainer! She's a legend! She's actually the only link between all three bands ~> (Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship) =)
worse song ...worse song.yea those critics have shit for ears.it is clean, audible and is caramel covered corniness.yet still better than the fuck up shit we got these days.
i came here cuz of the world records this guy spent the longest time in the world he was freaking out its not THAT annoying and what dose when people say they did somthing but then they took an arrow in the knee i wanna know what it means!
for every like i get i will run over the equivalent amount of people who keep using the phrase "i took an arrow to the knee". this is rock, not a game built for basement dwellers on a console, assholes.
Logistically speaking, Bluegrass has a much stronger foundation, is far more adaptable towards infrastructural growth, and would be better suited to withstand common natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and tornados. The use of Rock N' Roll shows very poor city planning, indeed, and I would imagine a flurry of law suits citing gross negligence shortly followed.
At one time, critics considered this to be the worst song ever made; boy, has music gone down the shitter since then. Since this song was made, there has been Britney Spears, Nsync, Nirvana, Radiohead, Beck, Jonas Brothers, Arcade Fire, Boyz II Men, and, much to my disgust, so much more schlock that would actually make critics appreciate this song.
@andrewiswatchingyou Nirvana and Radiohead? No mention of Miley Cyrus? Justin Bieber? Lil Wayne? T-Pain? Blasphemous! Radiohead's Thom Yorke has the voice of an angel and Cobain was just an awesome dude in general.
@Quikquik98 After listing to what passes for pop these days, I actually appreciate what Starship was trying to do here. You can't even get these vocals with Auto-Tune.
I don't understand how so many people consider this the worst song ever. It's not even bad. I'd rather listen to this than the crap spewed out on the radio these days.
@yyyy2999 the guy who listen to this song for like 370+ times is really good. just trying to listen to this song 1 time is pretty hard for me ... pretty irritated after listening to this !
I used to think this song sucked....Then I started listening to it and I realized how epic it was
