I realize that JonMark Perry's answer is probably correct, but I still want to chip in with my answer:

[1] = 1
[2] = 3
[3] = 3
[4] = 7

because

The phrase We're gonna [1] [2] [3] [4] tonight! implies that the placeholders either stand for Words or numbers that can be read or spelled like words. Since the sequence does not make sense to me when I put in words, I think that the numbers can be read out. --> leetspeak comes into my mind. We're gonna leet tonight!
