One Man, One Day, One Bad Song

Posted Oct 13th 2006 5:36PM by TMZ Staff

Try listening to the Starship song "We Built This City." Painful, right? Now try listening to it 324 times in a row.

Welcome to Russ Heller's world.

Heller is locking himself in a plexiglass booth for 24 hours and listening to the famously bad '80s track -- that Blender magazine named the worst song ever -- in an attempt to set a world record. Heller, a contributor to the mag says he is remarkably unfamiliar with the song.

We're guessing he'll know it pretty well by this time tomorrow.

4. There's no limit so many no-talent weasels will not go to in quest of their 15 mintes of fame. And the public that encourages them are no better.
