It Was Les Garland...

One of the things I find most interesting about the work I do on statistics for the blogs is seeing what people are googling when they find one of my blogs or mom's... 

Several folks out there have found the Ochorific Song o the Day by googling "we built this city radio announcer".  That's a tidbit I didn't look into when posting 

11/03/2010 - We Built this City - Jefferson Starship - 1985




The D.J. featured in We Built This City is Les Garland ... You know the name because of his role in developing our current music culture...

Garland was a co-founder of MTV and VH-1.  He is also a founding member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...


Blender magazine ranked "We Built This City" as one of the "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever"... A little sad if you love the song, but if I'm not mistaken Blender magazine is now defunct - so let's not consider them an authority on anything... 


Another interesting fact... Starship's producers Dennis Lambert and Peter Wolf
agreed to proceed with the project contingent on two items ... "more repetition of the chorus" and the addition of Les Garland in the bridge of the song...

And now, for today's
Ocho-rific Song o the Day...



"Knee Deep in the Hoopla"

Have a Grand and Groovy Day!!
