I've had this song stuck in my head. It sounds like it's an old rock song, and it has a very upbeat tempo and mood to it. And though it's really hard to communicate over a web forum what it sounds like, I'll give it my best shot.

*ahem* Something like this (italicized words are most likely incorrect, but have similar sounds and same tempo):

We gonna rock this—doo—talmey
(synthesized sound:) ba-Ba-Baa da
Electric something something...
We gonna rock this-doo-talmey
(synthesized sound:) ba-Ba-Baa da
this'll take me higher
The "this-doo-talmey" part has a very choppy tempo. I think it's a pretty well known song. Any clues?

And for a laugh:

Misheard Lyrics:
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take the tires!
Correct Lyrics:
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
and then we'll take it higher

Misheard Lyrics:
We're gonna walk down to K-mart and buy some shoes
They only cost a dollar
Correct Lyrics:
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

I just googled "We gonna rock" and "electric" and it popped up.
