"We Got the Beat" was witten by the group's lead guitarist and keyboardist Charlotte Caffey, and considered to be their signature song, the band recorded the song in 1980 and it was released in July as a single in the UK on Stiff Records. The song's single release brought the Go-Go's underground credibility in the UK. The song climbed to No. 35 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart due to the popularity of the song in clubs as an import. It is considered a new wave classic hit.
"We Got the Beat" became the Go-Go's biggest hit, spending three weeks at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song was named one of "The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll".

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)
ABOUT THE GO-GO's
The most successful all-female rock band of all time!
From their halcyon days as America’s sweethearts to their current status as
superstars who pioneered a genre, The Go-Go’s preside over an amazing three-decade reign
as high pop priestesses. The internationally-loved pop hitmakers helped cement the foundation
of the early 80’s pop-rock sound without the aid of outside composers, session players or,
most importantly, creative compromise.
The Go-Go’s have achieved numerous legendary
milestones, including multiple Grammy nominations, a 2021 induction into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a Sundance premiered documentary movie, multiple globally
charted hit songs, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I watched this live when I was in high school. Remember like it was yesterday. About 30 seconds into the song, which I had never heard before, I jumped up and began dancing all over the room in front of my tv. No one else was around. Good times. I miss the 80's...
I miss the 80s as well
Fun band.
Oh-that song and our lips are sealed came out my junior year in high school. I remember everytime they came on the radio in my car jamming out and dancing like crazy at home. The world was wonderful and I knew it was getting better and better for me everyday. I feel like I have lived several lives since then.
I was a kid when l watched American Band Stand it was fun while it lasted those were the days my friends when we were young and care free
Don't you just love this newer music???
lol, I remember when this was the new 80s beat.
This is so much better than today's hip hop crap
¿Which are in your opinión the BEST female singers of power pop? ¿Roxette? ¿Bangles? ¿Pat Benatar? ¿The Go Go's? ¿B 52' s? ¿Blondie? ¿Los Romeos? ¿Niágara? For me, obviously, Cyndi.
Best girl group ever. I m glad they finally got in Rock and Roll Hall of fame. They deserve it!!!!
With headphones on this version is GREAT!!!!!
Good song to walk 3 miles too 👌
I saw the them in the early 80’s at Six Flags Over Georgia.
Amazing live band!!!!
ya in atl ga thats when 6 flags was wprth getting the year pass free concerts
Classic song. Everyone was dancing in this video.
This was performed on My Birthday!
Super fun to dance, and sing to!!
Love You Go-Go's
What I time to be a teen ❤- 16 in ‘82 !!!
me too
Ditto 😄✌🏾
Same here.
Me too, but I was into Bowie, Iggy and Lou. I treated this with contempt lol
I was 9
The GoGo’s were always cool! And now they’re LEGENDS!
This is one of the songs where I can hit repeat all day long.
Great bass lines
perfect release today! kids last day of school is tomorrow - they can't wait to "hang out and be cool" - just like the Go-Gos brought it way back in 1982! 😎😎😎😎
Omgosh, this takes me back, WAY BACK!!!! I was just a kid on the playground then wanting to buy candy!!
The ultimate, summer song.
We were SOFA KING COOL BITD. Timeless. No expiration date.
GoGOs where one of the best things in the 80s.There wasnt much more good about the 80s.
Oh, I could think of a few bands that started around 1980 that were pretty good: Suicidal Tendencies, Exploited, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys, False Prophets.
One of favorites 😍 ❤️ 💛 💓 💙 💖! On "American Bandstand "!COOL!
I am sure you remember VH1, I watched a quite a few songs there and listening to Casey Kasem's AT40 each Saturday morning at 10 am
Classic gogos
What a difference one year makes,Belinda went from being a can of beans to a super hot smorgasbord.
I remember the go go's all female group the great music in 1982 was a sophomore in highschool Alex
I was 13 years old when I watched them on American Bandstand. Back then, I thought their songs were catchy, and I developed a crush on Belinda.
The base player was NICE 🎶🎶🎶🥰
"Bass", you dullard.
Kathy Valentine. Her daughter is 21 and a musician and photographer.
nice thick bass sound. good dancing
My god, she looks better now than she did in the 80s. And I say she was gorgeous back then. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
She looks good now. But better than in the 80's, I will let it slide.
I was 13! This Group Blew My Mind, and my Pants!
Thanks for uploading and sharing this timeless classic!
Such a great song
Great song.
Has it really been 40+ years? I was 21 when this was recorded. About to get your 100K- th subscriber, congratulations!
I was also 21 in 1982. We used to play this album at our college dorm dances. The 80's were wonderful years.....
@@-sunstar9778 I saw them live at our college in 1983, the whole damn place danced the whole night. They all have Facebook pages, they are still fun to follow. Jane turned 66 a couple of days ago. Just looking at Belinda's schedule makes me tired. Gina still pounds the drums occasionally, I think Kathy moved to England. Charlotte is kind of "political".
the gos are awesome love this so cool
They;'re better live than on the record. Man I miss TALENT
How can you not see and HEAR that this is playback?
@@sarge9733 Kind of obvious at the :55 mark!
I prefer their live sound than the polished studio cuts.
The Go-Go's!! 🔝🎶🎵💐🧙♂️🤩
Cracking track
Frigging awesome. 😎👍
Kind of a catchy beat.
These girls seem pretty cool and like a good party.
Not just Belinda but the whole gogos
2:34 That guy is living his greatest day ever.
They had a harder, rougher sound live. ABS always had the artists synch to the studio cuts.
Many of the stars were skating without skates!
Belinda Carlisle 😍
She's definitely got the beat👌
I was 13 yo and I saw this episode!
I was barely 20.
My sophomore year in high school
This was not live. There were never any live performances on AB. The show was about kids dancing to records, so the records were more important than the artists.
This is the track from "Beauty and the Beat".
LOL this was not "live". Belinda is singing at 0:56 and she's nowhere near the mic. Only the drums are live
I was 10 girl in 1982
ありがとう❤
I was told that these women may have been airing some of this stuff out.
Nothing live here except drums.
It's the studio cut. Their live sound had a harder edge to it.
I'm glad none of them ran into Bianchi and buono (hillside stranglers) like Catherine Lorre did and she actually survived the encounter.
Because she was Peter Lorre's granddaughter.
@@user-iu5vf6us4q
Well no shit (gunny voice)
Hey, thanks for taking us to the dark place
Great song but blurry upload
Hello 🙂 👍
I was 10 girl in 982
The only thing "Live" with this performance is the drums.
Yeah, the scene in Bohemian Rhapsody when they were told to lip sync had me nodding and going, "Yep, yep, all the damn time."
This is a great song, regardless.
Yeah, the brits were doing this as well.
So what?
You might get over it one day....
They couldnt find a tape in as good or better cobdition without the 90s vh1 watermark?
Hopefully no drugs involved here......keep practicing......hey there is people cheering the end......I like go go's......and the snack cake Ho hos is pretty good anyway God bless u all.......huugggzzz SE7EN
No drugs???? Where have you been? What's the GPS location of that rock?
Someone get me a slice of Perry's Pizza! PLEASE!
Yo las amaba a tal punto que le dije a una de mis hermanas que hiciera una fonomimica con ellas en la secundaria 😅
Should be drum solo in middle ❤SE7EN
Pretty girls!
For all you kids that didn't know the groups on Bandstand & Solid Gold lip sync'd there performances, just turn away for a few at :58... LOL!!
What is up with the sound when they start playing?
it's the studio cut. They're live sound has a harder edge to it.
@@wcatholic1 I have seen this before and it didn't sound like that
Lypsinc.
Belinda still has her cute baby fat here, but, man, did she blossom in the late 80s. Great track.
Pre recorded !!!
Disappointing that the performance was lip-synced. The Go-Go’s had a more aggressive sound when playing live.
The UK show The Tube let them play live. And there is a difference from their studio sound. I think for the better.
❤cute❤😂
🇺🇸!
American Bandstand was never live. Because it was based on radio air play which was records. That’s the explanation they gave.
Your dumb
看完恰奇过来的😢
BELINDA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN EVER
yes 42 years ago she was super good looking
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
like 600
Haim is as bad ass
Not live per Band Stand
懐かしい😆
The shame is that all the musicians were there. They could have played this live, but Am. Bandstand didn't allow live performances. Lip sync only.
"Live"
Horrible lip sync! 0:55
the 80s had the best music, but the worst musical invention which was lip-sync, like this clip
There music us awesome not so much there politics
Lip-synching live
