You Can't Stop The Beat!
Nikki Blonsky Zac Efron Amanda Bynes Elijah Kelly John Travolta & Queen Latifah 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 the 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've got the N double A.C.P.
'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
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)
'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
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 ooh ooh
And so we're gonna shake and shimmy it and have some fun today!
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise we're dreamin' of

'Cause you can't stop the beat!
You can't stop the beat
You can't stop the beat
You can't stop the beat
You can't stop the beat

Throughout history, dancing has been a way to express oneself and connect with others. No one can prevent the natural movements of the waves or sky, so why should anyone try to stop the joyful movements of our bodies?

The world never stops spinning, but neither does the rhythm in our hearts. Even when feeling lost, music has the power to guide us and help us find our way.

People have been dancing and having fun for as long as they've been around. Nothing, not even the elements, can stop the love between two individuals who share a passion for life and the music that makes it better.
You can't stop my happiness, 'cause I like the way I am

So, if you don't like the way I look, well, I just don't give a damn!
No one has the right to stop someone else's happiness, whether it be from dancing or eating a favorite food. If anyone has a problem with how someone looks, it's their own issue to deal with and not worth worrying about.
Oh, Oh, Oh

Time never stops moving forward, and neither should we. Each day is a new opportunity to enjoy life, without worrying about the past or what others may think.
Aah, aah, aah
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh ahh
These sounds are simply part of the song and do not have a deeper meaning.

You can't stop the beat
From the dawn of time, people have loved to dance, especially on Saturday nights. No one can prevent us from having fun and enjoying life to the fullest, which is why the beat of music will never stop and will always keep us moving forward.

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.
