Its just too 'vocal heavy'.  I really like the line, and the message,  
but its over-loaded a bit.  By the time you get to the 'second arp',  
the vocals have just driven my interest away, but if you scale it back  
a bit, and maybe add one more line/message (my suggestion: "what you  
think that we think is cool .. WE LEARNED IN SCHOOL") i think it'd be  
really, really groovy, and quite fancy.

I'd encourage you to develop the dance groove a little, turn the vocal  
knob down from 11 to .. about .. 6 .. and push some really big groovy  
break mid-way.

And of course, its dying for a male vocal to take the song over a bit ..
