GQ:
It has been playing, ceaselessly, for three decades now, and it will stay lodged in your brain, like a barnacle made of synthesizers and cocaine, for hours after you read this article. (Don’t blame us—blame Starship.) This is the true story of how “We Built This City”—the most detested song in human history—got built.
If you play this song in my presence, I will smash whatever device this sound from hell is coming out of.
Not even close to anything from Nickelback. Not. Even. Close.
Bah! Nickelback has two great songs. They just played one of them with 100 different sets of lyrics.
Exhibit B: Coldplay.
Aaaaahahhaahaaaa this was probably one of the first songs I started singing over and over as a toddler, and I do faintly remember all the adults hating it, which OfC I kept singing the chorus over, and over to annoy them/ maybe the song was made to appeal to toddlers!
This song has the super odd pseudo radio DJ voiceover right in the middle for no reason. It’s just strange.
I think I wouldn’t hate this song if I hadn’t heard it a million times.
I grew up being told MacArthur Park was the worst song ever…whoever decides this, make up your mind!
I’ll be happy to play the song in your presence, Shawn. You can “try” and destroy my device.
Yeah. I’d rather hear pretty much anything from Jefferson Airplane instead. Especially “Bless Its Pointed Little Head.”
How about “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
Please smash any device that noise comes out of.
Being from Sweden, i’m just happy that noone’s mentioned “The Final Countdown” yet…

My ears are bleeding
You mean to tell me that you arent all Knee Deep in the Hoopla? How dare you.
I think Arrested Development has finally given that song a niche of acceptable use.
Shawn – when you first heard the song were you in a market where they customized the DJ voiceover for the market? The article certainly discusses how much the creators “sold out” to create a hit, but the greatest offense had to be allowing every DJ to ALTER THE SONG in order to get them to play it more. To my knowledge this has never been repeated in the last 30 years.
