Starship
A glossy 1980s anthem with a huge repeated chorus, alternating lead parts, and enough camp value to unite a willing room.

Performance tip
Decide whether one singer handles both lead styles or whether you will split them. Treat the spoken radio break as part of the performance, not dead air.
Recommendation
Should you sing it?
Pick “We Built This City” when you are ready to commit fully to a song people may love, mock, or do both at once. Its success depends on enthusiasm and treating the oversized chorus seriously. Skip it if you are embarrassed by theatrical 1980s pop.
