I first heard your stuff when disco was lame
And your band played pose punk in some new way
I made my first beats on an eight o eight
and you had a copy of my first mix tape

Backbeat, all the sounds in the streets
we meet, everyone that you know
We go, to the parties and disco oh oh oh oh ohs

Backbeat, all the sounds in the streets
we meet, everyone that you know
We go, to the parties and discos

I ran into you at the Black Crash show
You had some time booked at the studio
I plugged my machines through guitar echo
and you plugged your guitars into my machine

Backbeat, all the sounds in the streets
we meet, everyone that you know
We go, to the parties and disco oh oh oh oh ohs

Backbeat, all the sounds in the streets
we meet, everyone that you know
We go, to the parties and discos

We go, we go, we go to the parties and discos
We go, we go, we go to the discos
We go, we go, we go to the parties and disco
We go, we go, we go to the disco

Backbeat, all the sounds in the streets
we meet, everyone that you know
We go, to the parties and disco oh oh oh oh ohs

Backbeat, all the sounds in the streets
we meet, everyone that you know
We go, to the parties and discos
