Shitty Diddies - 1985

"Knee-deep in the hoop-la??" Sure. If by "hoop-la" you mean one big pile of stinking, steaming crap.

After two decades worth of classics like "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love," Grace Jones and the band probably secured their retirement with this single and its album; but only they can truly measure the shame they must have felt when collecting the royalty checks for what many call the worst song of the decade.

Today's shitty diddy is 1985's #1 million-seller, "We Built This City" by Starship (aka Jefferson Starship, aka Jefferson Airplane)...
