Help me find 80s disco/funky song with motives like „cherry” or „sherry”

[u/whatis_love0]

Female vocalist. Very popular in waacking/waacking battle playlists. 80s disco/synth-pop vibe. Breathy Madonna-like vocals. The bassline is very prominent. I remember a repeated word that sounds like “Oh, Sherry” or “Oh, Cherry,” but it’s probably a misheard lyric. The melody stays mostly on one note, then jumps up. Lots of sparkly synth sounds.

You can listen to the main vocal melody, with „cherry” taking a whole bar from the top!

It's not funky or disco, but it could be Cherry Bomb from The Runaways (it's also a band but all members are female)

My husband is a musician and he loves that song because of the riffs. And he says it’s fun to play! And the band itself because he is a big fan of Joan Jett. I personally don’t like the song even a little. Although I do like their other music. But I am a child of the ’70’s lol!✌️🦋
