The fact they're singing about the destruction of rock and roll at the hands of manufactured, overproduced pop, yet they're deliberately performing it in that very style.

Remember Marconi is playing the MAMBA not the MAMBO. The deadly snake is slithering out of the radio.

Re: We Built This City On Rock and Roll appreciation thread
I heard this at the grocery store last night:
Same LP as We Built This City (I believe).
I found to my dismay that it was kind of catchy in a cheesy 80's way. I also might just have been nostalgic for the simpler times of 1986.
