We Got the Beat by The Go-Go's is featured in The Purple Piano Project, the first episode of Season Three. It is sung by the New Directions with solos from Brittany, Rachel and Santana.

The song is sung as an attempt to attract new members for the glee club, but the whole time through, no one seems interested, giving awkward expressions. After the song, Jacob screams "Food Fight!" which leads to everyone in the cafeteria throwing food at the glee clubbers. Sugar Motta can be seen during the performance, to which she later attempts to join the Glee Club in The Choir Room.

TriviaEdit

• It is similar to Season Two's, Empire State of Mind.
  • Both performed outside the choir room (Courtyard/Food Cafeteria).
  • Rachel and Santana both have solos in the songs.
  • It is performed to attract and recruit new members for glee club.
  • After watching the performance, new members auditioned for the glee club (Sam and Sunshine/Sugar).
  • Something unexpected happened after the performance (No one -- except for Sam and Sunshine -- noticed their performance/Food Fight).
  • Both were the first song performed in the season.
• Chris Colfer hurt his foot while dancing on a table during this number. He talks about it here.
• When Puck is doing pushups on the table, Sugar makes her first appearance sitting at the table watching him. It was assumed by many people that Puck would be Sugar's love interest but it turned out by Yes/No and Heart that Rory and Artie liked her.

ErrorsEdit

• During We Got the Beat, while Santana, Brittany, and Rachel are dancing/singing on the tables, they continuously change locations. Originally Brittany is in the middle with Rachel on her right and Santana on her left, but in the next scene, Santana is in the middle with Brittany to her right and Rachel to her left. They then go back to their original places in the next scene.
• During the end of We Got the Beat there's a random version of Rachel saying "Whooo."
