We Got The Beat

We Got the Beat is a song by The Go-Go's from their debut album Beauty and The Beat. It is performed by all of New Directions (before Blaine joined and Santana was kicked out). Rachel, Santana and Brittany have solos. It is performed in the first episode of Season Three, The Purple Piano Project, in an attempt to attract new members. A food fight ensues after the song ends, with Jacob Ben Israel yelling "FOOD FIGHT!" It is the first song sung in Season Three.

Errors

 * While Santana, Brittany, and Rachel are dancing/singing on the tables, they continuously change locations.

They go back to their original places in the next scene.
