This is a terrible association to make, but I make it nonetheless.
Listen to the way that Serena Ryder says the very first word of "Stompa."
"PEE-pull."
My college roommate Billy used to do this imitation of Charlton Heston, at the end of "Soylent Green," when he is shouting "Soylent Green is PEE-pull!!!"
And the way they all (Serena, Charlton, Billy) pronounce "people" with an emphasis on the "PEE" sound the same to me.
So as a result, whenever I hear "Stompa," I hear the lyrics in Charlton Heston's voice.
Sorry, Serena.
Hear Serena Ryder on Youtube.
"Soylent Green Is PEE-pull!" (wait for the end of the clip) on Youtube.
