Drum Beat on a Tom

This musical number depicted in Atomic Betty: The Animated Movie is sung by Tajja Isen and is the song used in the film itself. Also, Alexandra Lai, Melanie Tonello, Stephanie Morgenstern and Leah Cudmore lend their performances with Isen as they sing along the verse to her new hit.
In the film's continuity, Betty plays music on her boombox and has so much fun with her friends: Paloma, Sarah, Megan and Regeena at the school gym, but also dance to the music and sing along to her tune.
==Trivia==
*The song itself will be played on the Roland TR-909 as well as the TB-303 with the Nord Lead synthesizer and the Korg Volca Bass, while she sings along with them. The bass notes, played on the Yamaha DX-7, are also added to her song.
*The TR-909 toms are sounded as they pretend like drumming practice, as they drum on their tummies while feeling the groove, as well as the Nepheton 808 laser gun sounds (the knobs pointing up) added to a certain 909 pattern. They also follow the 909 clap sounds as they clap their hands to her song as well.
*Betty taps her foot to the TR-909 Closed Hi-hat sounds four times as she utters "5, 6, 7, 8" over the Closed Hi-hat sounds before the "punchy" 909 kick drum with an "oomph" on tune mode before other TR-909 sounds become added.

Betty:
(5, 6, 7, 8)

Betty:
(Check it out, now)
(Drum beat on a tom, baby)
(Uhh, uhh)
(Ready?)
Together:
(OK!)
(Singing)
There’s something special for a world of life
We’re the girls united in all of Moose Jaw Heights
The drum and bass sounds all roll in one
Feel the rhythm of the groove, so there’s intergalactic fun
The toms get sounded, where it plays along
Follow the techno music to my galactic song
Every tune has a feeling, it never gets too long
Move to the beat, drum around to the tom
Together:
Drum beat on a tom
Follow the song
It’ll never go wrong
Dance to the beat and groove along
Feel the laser gun
Make your move to the music for fun
In more ways than one
Drum beat on a tom
Look around you
The Nebular aliens collide
Searching for a spaceship
We’re with you side-by-side
Lasers blasting, fighting all the mutants into battle
Robots and Blood Monks approaching, defeating them while settled
The kick drum loop, the snare that gets sounded
The zaps that I hear, it won’t get too crowded
Feel the tom tom drums, closed and open hi-hats
The rhythm’s as perfect as the song really gets
Caring for each other can be perfectly easy
The wind out there feels erratically breezy
Hope and faith awaits me, and that’s the truth
Feel the beat and get in the groove
Together:
Drum beat on a tom
Follow the song
It’ll never go wrong
Dance to the beat and groove along
Feel the laser gun
Make your move to the music for fun
In more ways than one
