EVANS CITY, Pa. —

There's a Pittsburgh Steelers song that is taking the Internet by storm, and a group of children from Butler County are behind it.

The tune may be familiar, but the lyrics are all new, focusing on the Steelers defense.

Two kids from the six-member band called the Pop Rocks attend Evans City Middle School. Their song "Heartbreakers," sung to the tune of Pat Benatar's Heartbreaker, has Pittsburgh buzzing.

"My Mom and my aunt, they wrote the words, and we already had (the) original version of Heartbreaker down, so we had the singer sing the new words," said group member Elektra Davis, 11.

Davis' father, Duane, runs a music school in Harmony and put the band together last summer. When the Steelers made the playoffs, their focus turned to football.

The band shot a music video in the Davis' basement and in one week's time, the video has gotten more than 120,000 hits and five stars on YouTube.

The little rockers hit the stage Thursday night at a Steelers pep rally, where Steelers' kicker Jeff Reed gave them a thumbs-up.

The band said they are already planning a Super Bowl song that should hit YouTube this weekend.
