This song gets played at football games a lot

I came across this Human League song that sounds a lot like the song that gets played all the time at American football games and was wondering if anyone knew the exact title and artist. Right now I've got a version of this simply tagged as "Football Halftime Song", but I'd like an extended/dance version of it if it exists. Have any other artists covered this song too?

There's a part 1 and a part 2. Rock and Roll Part 2 is the one that used to get played at football games. When Glitter was busted for being a pedo, the NFL started using a different version.

The only other cover version I know of is by D.I. on their Team Goon album. There's also a live evrsion on Live at a Dive.

Thanks for all the info. I don't think there's any extended remixes of this song available anywhere, too bad. The Human League cover seems to be the best one out there that I could find
