‘We Built This City’ do STARSHIP foi declarada como a pior canção dos anos 80.

Em uma pesquisa conduzida pela edição estadunidense da revista Rolling Stone para achar a faixa mais atroz da década, a música de 1985 co-escrita pelo letrista de ELTON JOHN, BERNIE TAUPIN, chegou ao topo.

Ela foi seguida de perto por ‘The Final Countdown’ do EUROPE e pelo clássico brega ‘Lady In Red’ de Chris de Burgh, com menções honrosas para ‘Mickey’ de Toni Basil [que teve cover até da Xuxa] e ‘Wake Me Up [Before You Go Go]’ do Wham!.

Infelizmente, nem com todo o escrutínio que a cerca na internet, pouparam ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ de Rick Astley da inclusão na lista.

A lista completa segue abaixo:

1 – Starship – ‘We Built This City’
2 – Europe – ‘The Final Countdown’
3 – Chris de Burgh – ‘Lady In Red’
4 – Wham! – ‘Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)’
5 – Men Without Hats – ‘The Safety Dance’
6 – Falco – ‘Rock Me Amadeus’
7 – Bobby McFerrin – ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’
8 – Toni Basil – ‘Mickey’
9 – Taco – ‘Puttin’ On The Ritz’
10 – Rick Astley – ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’

Pop superstar Lady Gaga dotes on Sir Elton John's son Zachary and often visits the singer's home to see her godson.

The Rocket Man hitmaker and his partner David Furnish became first-time parents last Christmas (10) and they asked the Poker Face star to become godmother to the tot.

Gaga insists she takes her duties seriously, and has opened up about her devotion to the youngster.

She tells British TV host Jonathan Ross, "Zachary's so beautiful. I gave him a bath the other day. It's so very sweet because you're giving him a bath and he's the most beautiful boy ever.

"It's so funny because we have this sweet little boat for pouring water to rinse soap off Zachary, and as I'm pouring it, Elton is singing Tiny Dancer and I'm thinking, 'This kid has no clue that his father is such a legend'. I could not see a happier family than I see in them."

The full interview with Lady Gaga on The Jonathan Ross Show will air in the U.K. on Saturday night (08Oct11).

Leave it to our Mother Monster to make this all her own!

Lady GaGa is set to make an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, and of course, decided to use the opportunity to turn the set into a farm so it would match the theme of her new single, You and I!

During the segment, while seated on a bale of hay, she also opened up about her infamous meat dress, what she does on her downtime, and her role as godmother to Elton John's new baby, Zachary!

Here are some HIGHlights:

“Zachary’s so beautiful. I gave him a bath the other day. It’s so very sweet because you’re giving him a bath and he’s the most beautiful boy ever. It’s so funny because we have this sweet little boat for pouring water to rise soap off Zachary, and as I’m pouring it, Elton is singing Tiny Dancer and I’m thinking, ‘this kid has no clue that his father is such a legend। I could not see a happier family than I see in them.”

'We Built This City' named the worst song of the 80s

Starship’s 1985 hit, ‘We Built This City’ has been voted the worst song of the 1980s in a new poll by Rolling Stone magazine.

The song, which was co-written by Elton John’s lyricist Bernie Taupin went to number one in the US at the time of its release but has seemingly fallen foul of musical tastes.

The song was followed by Europe’s ‘Final Countdown’ despite that song having had new life breathed in it as the theme music to TV magician J.O.B. Bluth.

The list also includes other “hits” including Toni Basil’s ‘Mickey’ and Wham!’s ‘Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go).’

Here’s the full list and Starship’s video for ‘We Built This City.’
