The song you're thinking of is "Yeah Yeah Yeah" by The Auteurs. Released in the early 1990s, its repetitive lyrics and punk-inspired sound align with the vibe of early new wave music. However, if you're specifically looking for a song from the early to mid-80s, it may not match exactly, as many punk and new wave tracks from that era often featured simple, catchy refrains. The 1981 song "Ya Ya" by Lee Dorsey also fits the "ya" repetition but leans more towards R&B.
