I took my GCSEs in 1993, so the context of this is somewhere around 1992 or 3. The reason for the date will become clear to some - not to others. Meh.
GH, our IT teacher, was a lovely guy, but not really all that good at controlling a class. Repeatedly, we'd be sitting in the lesson and he'd be trying to teach while, on the back row, the kids would begin to click their fingers and sway in their seats. Quietly, one of them would start singing and slowly the rest would join in...
"Da-da-da da da daddle-ah
Da-da-da da daddle ah-dah-dah
Da-da-da da da daddle-ah"
... someone'd yell...
"YO, DJ! PUMP THIS PARTY!"
... and we'd all join in...
"WHYYYY waste yo' time
Yo know you're gonna be mine..."
(I can't rememer what the song was called, or who recorded it. The alternative was to burst into Temptation by Heaven 17, which was almost as good: one kid givig a falsetto lead, then the rest of us responsing with a rousing "TEM-PTA-TION!")
EDIT: RIS?

I remember this song
Although, now I think about it, it does sound oddly like something a rapist chasing a nubile lady through a dilapidated mansion would say.
