I remember seeing footage of Paul Kantner being interviewed. When asked what he thought of “We Built This City,” he scoffed, flipped the bird to the camera, and sneered, “shut up. did not.”
From all surveys, polls and accounts, this appears to always be voted the worse song in rock & roll. What does "knee deep in the hoopla" mean, anyway?!
UGH! I just read in Wikipedia that “We Built This City” was written by Bernie Taupin, Martin Page, Dennis Lambert, and Peter Wolf. These guys are all great songwriters. Not their best work, though.
