The Ting Tings is an indie-pop band based in England with two members: Katie White (vocals, guitar, bass drum) and Jules De Martino (drums, guitar, vocals).

This is the track I first heard from their album, We Started Nothing.

fed up with your indigestion
swallow words one by one
your folks got high at a quarter to five
don't you feel you're growing up undone

nothing but the local DJ
he said he had some songs to play
what went down from this fooling around
gave hope and a brand new day

imagine all the girls,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
and the boys,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
and the strings,
eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee
and the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums

nothing was the same again
all about where and when
blowing our minds in a life unkind
gotta love the bpm
when his work was all but done
remembering how this begun
we wore his love like a hand in a glove
there's a future plays it all night long

nothing but the girls,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
and the boys,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
and the strings,
eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee
and the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums.....

imagine all the girls,
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
and the boys,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
and the strings,
eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee
and the drums,
ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah, oh

all the girls
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
and the boys,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
and the strings,
aee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee
and the drums, the drums, the drums, the drum

I realize the lyrics look weird on-screen, but you got to hear the beat to appreciate the song. Also, check out other neat tracks from The Ting Tings: That's Not My Name and Shut Up and Let Me Go.
