"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

We Built This Starbucks

What do you get when you mix the ulta-hipness of corporate America with crappy 80's music? If you guessed Starbucks managers reworking Jefferson Starship's ummm "hit" song 'We Built This City' then congratulations you've just earned yourself a Chantico.

The Stranger has a funny write-up (look under Feb. 24th) on the whole episode, but better yet they've even posted a MP3 of the song for your listening pleasure.

Knee-deep in the mocha/making coffee right
So many partners/working late at night
We just want to build here--IMDS, does it pass?
We call on development to complete the task!
Living the way of being, In the Green Apron Book!
Don't you remember? We built this Starbucks on heart and soul!
