Daily Jam (Cheese Week) - We Built This City

Let's bring Cheese Week to a close with perhaps the cheesiest song ever made.  I totally get why so many people think Starship's "We Built This City" is crap.  I do.  Especially when you consider what the band had been back in the '60s and '70s.  The whole thing reeked of selling out.  But i was 6 when i heard it.  And i thought it ruled.  I don't have quite the enthusiasm for it i did back in 1st grade, but i'll let it ride if i hear on the radio.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Someone to Love

Before she was in Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick was the lead singer of short-lived San Francisco psych rock band The Great Society.  And that band recorded the original version of "Somebody to Love," originally titled "Someone to Love."  It's a cool little sonic artifact.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (Shame Week) - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

So this is probably the most embarrassing thing i'm going to post all week, and considering what i think i have lined up for tomorrow, that's really saying something.  I know Starship is bad.  I've always known Starship is bad.  I don't know why i like this song.  I just can't help it you guys.  So here's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," the song from "Mannequin" and our Daily Jam.  (Hangs head.)
