It’s "Pumped Up Kicks," from Foster the People. Listen to it once and you’ll be its slave. Here is the real-world reference. You can download it here.

I am 50 years old and simply cannot continue walking through my days thinking, humming or mindlessly singing aloud (at times performing jerky little shoulder shrugs to the beat, god help me). I would never have encountered this song if it weren't for Head Butler, so you get ALL the blame!”
