We Got The Beat - The Go-Go's - MP3 instrumental karaoke

On "We Got the Beat," bulky Motown beats and a girl group chorus brush up against tough surf guitars and driving percussion. This classic track from iconic LA new wavers The Go-Go's was written by the band's guitarist Charlotte Caffey, who said she took inspiration from the sound of Motown and Smokey Robinson for the catchy retro rock 'n' roller, which hung around at the top of the US charts for six whole weeks, making The Go-Go's the first all-girl band to clock in at number one on said chart. "We Got the Beat" is a standout track from the band's 1981 debut album Beauty and the Beat—one of the most successful debut albums in history—and widely considered among the rock 'n' roll canon's most definitive songs. "We Got the Beat" is a trademark of The Go-Go's aka Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle (lead vocals), Gina Schock (drums), Kathy Valentine (bass guitar), and Jane Wiedlin (rhythm guitar) who were nominated for Best New Artist award at the 24th Annual Grammy Awards.
