holy awful. worst corporate co-opting of an already abysmal song. ever.
according to a report in the Stranger, in my former city of Seattle last week, at a Starbuck's corporate brainwashing event, er, I mean, awards ceremony, some whiz thought it would be a good idea for executives to sing a modified version of "we built this city on rock n' roll" with Starbucks-specific lyrics. it's painful, yet oddly mesmerizing.
you can read the whole report here (scroll down) and listen to the "song" here. (just make sure you have enough ironic detachment before listening.)
