SOLVED: Oldish rock song

Hey guys, need your help with a song, I think it's from the 80's. Kinda sounds like madness or the clash would sing it, British band I'd say. It's a popular song (so popular I can't figure it out lol) always played at parties or cover gigs.

Anyways, the only lyrics I know from it "It's time for (don't know the next word) sally/johnny??? - ooooooohhhhh yaaaaaa"

Chorus is: "bapbapbapbapbadada bapbapbadada yeah bapbapbapbapbadada bapbapbadada "

The background music isn't too far removed from Iggy Pops Lust for Life, if that helps.

Thanks!!!

Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl

Nope not that one I'm afraid, this is an old song and no singing in the chorus.

Queen - Under Pressure

I'm not sure what you mean by no singing in the chorus?

Chorus is: "bapbapbapbapbadada bapbapbadada yeah bapbapbapbapbadada bapbapbadada"

Nope not that either.

No singing as such they are just saying that bapbapbap bit over...

Maybe "LOVECATS" by The Cure?

(British (?), 80ies and babadabab....)

Not it either - ack!!

Those are only guesses on my part, wouldn't go much by it

They are a male band, and the singing bit is quite fast, as in, they are singing it fast.

Yeah, I think you're spot on there jlb112, it's strange how someone can hear "It's time for Sally" instead of "This Town Called Malice"

Looks as the bull's eye to me too

Gotta agree - Lust For Life similarity, ba ba ba ba and Town Called Malice can sound like Time Called Alice to some
