Partial as I've always been to the phrase "knee-deep in the hoopla", and as often as I danced my fool head off to We Built This City, I have a challenger to Jefferson Starship's ownership of city building songs. While Bright Lights Social Hour didn't specify in their song title, that's what Bare Hands, Bare Feet is about: building a city.
And so I ask you, my darlings, to listen to the song back-to-back (because, if you're like me, you'd forgotten how interesting the lyrics for We Built This City actually are) and tell me which you think more inspiring for the builders among us. Also, dance. Both songs are worthy and I won't tell anyone.
