STARSHIP We Built This City 1985 HQ

"We Built This City" is a song written by Bernie Taupin, Martin Page, Dennis Lambert, and Peter Wolf, and originally recorded by US rock group Starship and released as their debut single in August of 1985.

The single version reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 on 16 November 1985, and also number one on the US Top Rock Tracks chart and number twelve in the UK.

The lyrics describe a city built on rock n' roll music. The lyrics explicitly mention the Golden Gate Bridge and refer to "the City by the Bay", a common moniker for Starship's hometown of San Francisco, California. However, the lyrics also refer to "the City That Rocks", a reference to Cleveland, Ohio, and "the City That Never Sleeps", a reference to New York City. Capitalizing on the ambiguity, several radio stations added descriptions of their own local areas when they broadcast the song, or even simply added their own identy in it's place.
