"Mine is when we recorded it," revealed The Go-Go's band member Charlotte Caffey.
According to Caffey, she and the other women of the group were super excited to get into the studio for the recording session. However, when it came to nailing the track right away, that isn't exactly what went down. Instead, it took many tries — and a classic meal.
"We went in the recording studio and ready and raring to get We Got the Beat. And we played it and we played it again and we played it again and after the 10th try, our producer Richard said, 'Okay, let's take a break,' And he ordered pizza," Caffrey revealed.

"It was either the magic sauce in the pizza or the stars aligned while we were eating, or maybe both. But the 11th take was magic and we are just so happy that we get to share that with you today," she stated.
