• 1:18
  discussed on the portal. I'm with the journalist
• 1:20
  Enzo Mauri, who introduces today's topic. One
• 1:24
  day today I tell you about a particular song.
• 1:26
  Can the worst song ever become a success? The
• 1:30
  affirmative answer is all in the luck that touched
• 1:32
  years ago the album We Build The City by the
• 1:35
  American Starship. the single debut of the starship
• 1:46
  before jefferson starship still before jefferson
• 1:49
  airplane was published in 1985 about their first
• 1:54
  album knee deep in the hoopla the starship song
• 1:57
  reached first place in the american ranking on
• 1:59
  november 16, 1985 See you. The only remaining
• 2:29
  of the original Jefferson Airplane was the singer
• 2:33
  Grace Leak, among the protagonists of the 1969
• 2:35
  historic Wustock concert. The text of Wubble,
• 2:39
  the CD of the Starship, was made by Bernie Taupin,
• 2:42
  known as Elton John's voice actor. The musical
• 2:45
  part was played by Martin Page. The authors were
• 2:47
  also the composer Dennis Lambert and the producer
• 2:50
  Peter F. Wolfe. Both were awarded the merit of
• 3:10
  having achieved a worthy song and therefore worthy
• 3:12
  of the success acquired. The song is a complaint
• 3:15
  about the closure in Los Angeles of the places
• 3:17
  where the bands could perform live. The definitive
• 3:19
  version of the Starship refers instead to San
• 3:22
  Francisco as it is intuited from the phrase I'm
• 3:25
  looking out over that Golden Gate Bridge. Grace
• 3:27
  Leak, singer of the Starship, defines We Build
• 3:30
  This City as a rather stupid song, yet despite
• 3:33
  the success obtained in 2004, the American musical
• 3:35
  periodical Blender classified it as the worst
• 3:39
  song of all time. Revealing the dose in 2011,
• 3:42
  there was a survey of the Rolling Stone magazine,
• 3:45
  according to which the Starship album would have
• 3:47
  been the worst of the 80s. In 2016, the magazine
• 3:51
  GQ called it the most odious song in human history.
• 3:54
  Single, the record established in 2006 by the
• 3:57
  so -called Russ Heller, who perhaps for pure
• 4:00
  masochism, he listened to Wibble the City for
• 4:02
  24 hours. With 324 listens, the protagonist and
• 4:06
  the song itself made their way back into the
• 4:08
  Guinness World Record. From the same album, Starship
• 4:12
  put together two other successful singles. Sarah
