Don't change that song, it's my favourite record

[venta]

I've got one line of a song stuck in my head, and I can't work out whence it comes.

I think it's the second half of a couplet, and the line is "you wanna be in a band?". And despite my failures here on LJ with graphical scores in the past, the basic shape of the line is:
- - - _-'-

There's a break in the lyrics just before that line, and it's a bloke's voice singing.

It's something kind of late 70s/early 80s New Wave sounding. I thought initially it was from Dancing The Night Away by The Motors, but a quick listen demonstrated that this isn't the case.

I'm not thinking of the Veruca Salt song you get if you google for the line.

Help?

Which song ?

I'm not going to be helpful and answer your question or anything, but I thought I might ask you one instead:

Where's that from ? If you asked me I'd say it was a Faster Pussycat lyric (which it is), but something tells me you've probably got it from somewhere else !

Nope, you're dead right.

The lyrics in my subject lines don't always bear any relation to what I'm listening to, and I'd had Faster Pussycat on earlier in the day.
