This was a reunion of Debbie Harry with Giorgio Moroder who produced the Blondie #1 hit "Call Me" back in 1980 for the American Gigolo Soundtrack.  "Rush, Rush" was much more enjoyable than Harry's previous solo album from 1981, KooKoo, as well as the universally reviled 1982 swan song of Blondie's first run The Hunter. The "Rush, Rush" single from the Scarface soundtrack in 1983 was an enjoyable dance song if not monumental among Harry's hits and most of the Blondie catalog to that point.

I had to look up the lyrics to figure out what she was saying in the chorus beyond the opening line.  I honestly thought she was singing in Spanish.  

Instead it was just mostly American jargon with Cocaine slang being the lone Latin verbage.  "Rush rush, gimme yeyo/Buzz buzz buzz, gimme yeyo/No no, gimme yeyo/Yo yo, got my yeyo."  Al Pacino's Tony Montana character made the word American vernacular.  Rumor has it Pacino picked up the term learning Cuban Spanish for the film.  

One things for sure, everybody knows what it is now.
