song with a focus on "going to" future
 
I �ve checked older posts and contributions but didn �t find what I was looking for..
Does anyone know a good song to focus on "going to" future tense?
I would ideally want a song that (almost) doesn �t have �will �, only �going to �.
I would love to find a contemporary song, suitable for 12 yrs old (pre) intermediate students....
(if not contemporary, at least not Beatles or "educational" )

Led Zepelin is definitely more my style than the Vengaboys (who don �t exactly make me proud to be Dutch) but Hey, that �s a matter of taste...
Thank you both for trying to help.. I am looking for a song to practice the structure of "going to +verb" rather than �going to + place.. � any other ideas anyone?
