This footage has been digitally enhanced to HD quality.
"We Got the Beat" is a breakout hit by the American rock band the Go-Go's, written by their lead guitarist and keyboardist, Charlotte Caffey. The band first recorded the song in 1980 for a single on UK-based Stiff Records, and later rerecorded it for their debut album, Beauty and the Beat, released in 1981.
The initial single release brought the Go-Go's underground credibility during their first UK tour and in their hometown of Los Angeles. The first version reached No. 35 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart due to its popularity in clubs as an import. The re-recorded version became the band's biggest hit, spending three weeks at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
"We Got the Beat" has been recognized as a new wave classic and was named one of "The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll." The song remains a defining track of the early 1980s music scene, showcasing the Go-Go's blend of punk energy and pop sensibility.

LYRICS
See the people walking down the street
Fall in line just watching all their feet
They don't know where they want to go
But they're walking in time
They got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah, they got the beat
All the kids just getting out of school
They can't wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve
That's when they fall in line
They got the beat
They got the beat
Kids got the beat
Yeah, kids got the beat
Go-go music really makes us dance
Doing the pony puts us in a trance
The Watusi, just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line
'Cause we got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
Yeah, we got it!
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
Everybody get on your feet
We got the beat
We know you can dance to the beat
We got the beat
Jump back, get down
We got the beat
Round and round and round
We got the beat (x14)
