Where's The DJ?

Starship is one with a tumultuous history starting in the early 70s, starting as Jefferson Airplane, morphing into Jefferson Starship, and by the mid 80s evolving into Starship. Changes to the name was caused by various changes in the active band members.

Starships first single, "We Build This City," was an overnight sensation. It's one of those songs that did very well, and then you look back on it now and laugh because it's so absurdly dumb, but you still like it anyways.

The version played on the radio had a radio announcer's voice cutting into it:

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge on another gorgeous sunny Saturday, not seein' that bumper-to-bumper traffic)
(It's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)


I don't know why it wasn't included in the video version. I was one of many who was fooled upon the first time hearing it and got angry that the stupid DJ was talking over the song, only to realize later that the DJ was a part of the song.



This is the video version.
