Hairspray
Queen Latifah Nikki Blonsky Zac Efron and Elijah Kelley Lyrics

You cant stop an avalanche As it races down the hill
Change is inevitable and unstoppable, like an avalanche that gains momentum as it moves forward.

You can try to stop the seasons, girl But ya know you never will
Just like the seasons, change will come whether you try to resist it or not.

And you can try to stop my dancin' feet But I just cannot stand still 'Cause the world keeps spinning 'Round and 'round And my heart's keeping time To the speed of sound
Despite anyone's attempt to hold me back, I keep dancing and moving to the rhythm of life that never stops.

I was lost til I heard the drums Then I found my way 'Cause you can't stop the beat
Music has a special way of guiding me and helping me find my way through life, regardless of any obstacles.

Ever since this old 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 cant stop the beat!
Women have always had the power to move and inspire change, and I will use my own power to keep shaking things up and moving forward.

What do ya' have to say, Penny? I am now a checkerboard chick!
I am proud of who I am and I embrace my uniqueness, regardless of what others may say or think.

You can't stop a river As it rushes to the sea You can try and stop the hands of time But ya know it just can't be And if they try to stop us, seaweed, I'll call the N double-a, á P!
The natural flow of life cannot be stopped or controlled, and I am prepared to stand up to any oppressive forces that may try to intervene.

I was lost till I heard the drums Ever since we first saw the light A man and woman liked to shake it On a Saturday night With all my might today
Music and dance have always been an integral part of human expression, and I will embrace and enjoy them fully to the best of my abilities.

Or the rain from above They can try to stop the paradise We're dreaming of But they cannot stop the rhythm Of two hearts in love to stay 'Cause you cant stop the beat!
Love is another elemental force that cannot be contained or controlled, and will continue to inspire hope and positive change regardless of any obstacles.

Tracy, I have a little something I'd like to add, if you don't mind. You cant 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 lust don't give a damn! 'Cause you cant stop the beat
I refuse to let anyone dictate my happiness or what I eat, and I will stand up for myself and my own choices no matter what others may say or think.

Step aside, Miss Buttercup, it's Time to wrap this mutha' up!
It's time to move on and wrap up this performance.

Oh, oh, oh, You can't stop today No! As it comes speeding down the track Oh child, yes Child, yesterday is hist'ry Be gone! And it's never coming back Look ahead 'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day And it don't know white from black Yeah! 'Cause you can't stop
Today is a new day, and we cannot dwell on the past because it is gone forever. We must keep moving forward and embracing change, because tomorrow is a new opportunity full of endless possibilities.

They can try to stop this paradise But you cannot stop the rhythm You can't stop the beat! Aah, aah, aah
Paradise is a state of mind and feeling, and no external force can truly halt or diminish the power of music and love to bring us to that state of mind.

Come on, you von tussles Go on, shake your fanny muscles We can't! Yes, you can! No, we can't! Yes, we can! You can't stop the beat
Everyone can and should dance and move to the rhythm of life, even those who may be resistant or hesitant to do so.

Ever since we first saw the sun It seems von tussle girls are always Tryin' to please someone But now we're gonna shake and shimmy it And have some fun Today! 'Cause you can't stop the beat!
Even those who have traditionally felt pressure to please others can break free and dance and enjoy life for themselves, free from restraints and judgement.
