The Go-Go's
The Go-Go's are an all-female American rock and roll group that formed in 1978 in Los Angeles, California. They made history as the first all-woman band in pop music that played their own instruments and wrote their own songs to top the Billboard charts with a #1 album. Stylistically, their energetic music spanned punk, surf rock, new wave, power pop, and more. They rose to fame in the early-80s with a sunny, retro public image, and their unlikely success helped ushered in an era of similar bands and music in the U.S. Read Full BioThe Go-Go's are an all-female American rock and roll group that formed in 1978 in Los Angeles, California.

Their best known tunes include "Our Lips Our Sealed", "Vacation", and "We Got The Beat" among others. Their trend-setting debut album, 'Beauty and the Beat', didn't just reach #1 after its 1981 release but is also considered one of the cornerstone albums of American new wave. In the beginning, they played primarily what was known as 'pop punk', and they then made their sound more sunny and romantic, having later associated themselves with the distinct sound of 80s pop rock. The Go-Go's had five Top 40 hits in their heyday.

In addition, there was a group from Newcastle in the U.K. known as "The Go-Go's" in the 60s. That artist is known for their 1964 novelty Christmas single, titled "I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek", which referenced the budding 'Doctor Who' craze. Like the later U.S. band of the same name, the group's name was a reference to go-go dancing.

We Got The Beat
The Go-Go's 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
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat

People now in their 50s were part of the original MTV generation your mom your dad. No reality TV shows, just music videos 24 hrs. It was primetime awesomeness. Who wasn't glued to their TV when Michael Jackson premier of Thriller video came on that evening at 8 pm 👌

This is going to be a controversial theory, but I thInk what they’re trying to say here is that they got the beat
Missy Melly
Ha! Thats what SHE said!

@John Dickson: How the hell did you ever come to that conclusion and revelation? I never would have guessed!
As for this song they don't have the beat but for Our Lips Are Sealed the beat is really 10000 times better than this song which really doesn't have a beat and is also 10000 better than this song!
John Dickson
It's a deep message that eludes most people.
