cowpies and roadkill are excluded from this offer
knee-deep in the mocha

A while back, I watched a special on VH1 that proclaimed Starship's "We Built This City" the worst song ever recorded. You'll get no argument from me, but apparently the news didn't make it to Starbucks upper management. Jefferson Starbucks recorded "We Built This Starbucks [on Heart and Soul]" for its Starbucks Licensed Stores Awards ceremony. I learned about this from the Stay Free! blog, and, like them, I exhort you to download and listen to this crime against music immediately.

In related news, all of the coffee kiosks on the UT campus have been converted to Seattle's Best outlets, which itself was purchased by Starbucks last year. Of, I would prefer a locally owned business operate the campus kiosks, so I hereby call on The University to require the kiosks to play "We Built This Starbucks" as customers wait for their mochas.

Truly a hideous song made much, much worse. Luckily I neither drink coffee, watch much TV or listen to any radio. I did catch the ad once and it left a very sour taste in my ears.

At least when The Who sold out to CSI they did not change the lyrics. Although, they did edit them in a manner one can only call tragic.

I'd like to add to the list of atrocities the bastardization of "Always Something There to Remind Me" that's being used to peddle department store goods. *shudders*
