Sounds like it's most likely "Talk Of The Town" by The Pretenders
. If not, it could also be "Special" by Garbage, which has the line "you were the talk of the town" repeated in the bridge as a Shout-Out to the Pretenders song. Actually, given the uptempo thing, it probably is the Garbage track.
Thanks, one of those is probably it.
EDIT: Yup, it's definitely the Garbage track. Thanks again.

I remember this song that was really catchy, but I could never quite find it anywhere I looked and I could never remember the lyrics. I remember towards the end of it, the singer repeated the lyrics "Top of the town" or "Talk of the town", I couldn't quite tell behind the badass combination of instruments accompanying them. It sounded late 80's, maybe early 90's, and it was fast-paced. That's all I got.
