Retro Video of the Week: "We Built This City" by Starship

Starship was huge in the mid '80s, with three #1 hits between 1985 and 1987.  "We Built This City" was their first of those three and has since been voted the worst song of the '80s by Rolling Stone and the most awesomely bad song ever by Blender Magazine.  I remember when I found out that Starship had been, more or less, birthed out of Jefferson Airplane, I was taken aback.  Frankly, I'm still baffled.  From "up against the wall, motherfucker" to "corporation games."
