You Can't Stop the Beat
Amanda Bynes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But you know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
But I just cannot stand still
'Cause the world keeps spinning
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums
Then I found my way
'Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since this whole world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that I can today
'Cause you cant stop the motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna, but I never ask why
And if you try to hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat!
You can't stop a river as it rushes to the sea
You can try to stop the hands of time, but you know it just can't be!
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed, I'll call the N double A.C.P.
'Cause the world keeps spinnin' 'round and 'round ('round and 'round)
And my heart's keepin' time to the speed of sound (speed of sound, yeah)
I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way
'Cause you can't stop the beat!
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night
So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today
'Cause you cant stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise we're dreamin' of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay
'Cause you cant stop the beat!
You can't stop my happiness, 'cause I like the way I am
And you just can't stop my knife and fork when I see a Christmas Ham!
So, if you don't like the way I look, well, I just don't give a damn!
'Cause the world keeps spinnin' ''round and 'round
And my hearts keepin' time to the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way
'Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since this whole world began
A woman found out if she shook it she could shake up a man
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it the best that I can today!
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can wonder, if you wanna, but I never ask why
And if you try to hold me down, I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat!
Oh, Oh, Oh
You can't stop today (no!)
As it comes speeding 'round the track (oooh, child yes!)
Yesterday is history (be gone!)
And it's never comin' back! (look ahead)
'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day and it don't know white from black (yeah!)
'Cause the world keeps spinnin' 'round and 'round
And my heart's keepin' time to the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way
'Cause you can't stop the beat!
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today!
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above
They can try to stop the paradise we're dreamin' of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay
'Cause you can't stop the beat!
Aah, aah, aah
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh ahh
Ever since we first saw the sign
A man or woman like to shake it when the day is done
And so we're gonna shake and shimmy it and have some fun today!
You can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above

You can't stop the beat
You can't stop the beat
You can't stop the beat
You can't stop the beat
The song “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from the musical “Hairspray” is a joyful and celebratory anthem about the unstoppable power of music and dance. The lyrics suggest that no force, no matter how powerful, can stop the beat of the music, which represents the irresistible joy and energy of life. The song begins with a metaphor comparing the beat of the music to an avalanche, noting that when the music starts, everything else is swept away in its path. The song then goes on to describe various other unstoppable forces that cannot be contained, such as the seasons, the movement of the ocean, and the rhythm of two hearts in love. The chorus repeats the title phrase, “you can’t stop the beat,” with increasing intensity, emphasizing the unstoppable force of the music.
The song also celebrates the liberating power of music and dance as a way to break free from oppression and express oneself freely. The lyrics describe a woman discovering that she can “shake it” and “shake up a man,” suggesting that dancing and self-expression can empower and liberate individuals who may otherwise be oppressed. The song concludes with a vision of a bright future, full of hope and possibility, where anything is possible if you just keep dancing and moving to the beat.

The best thing about John Travolta's acting here is that you don't see him playing a woman in a gay way. He is so convincing. I can really see a woman in his acting and the way he sways his hands.
