You Can't Stop the Beat
Queen Latifah Nikki Blonsky Zac Efron and Elijah Kelley 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 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!
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 lyrics of the song You Can't Stop the Beat by Queen Latifah, Nikki Blonsky, Zac Efron, and Elijah Kelley stand for our constant desire to move forward regardless of the circumstances. The song talks about the inevitability of change and progression, despite any attempts to stop it. An avalanche, seasons, dancing feet, and the world are a few examples of things that cannot be stopped. These lyrics are practically an ode to embracing the rhythm of life and never giving up on our dreams.
The song also highlights the power of music, as it mentions that the drums are what helped the singer find her way when she was lost. Music can soothe, uplift, and motivate us, and the music in this song seems to foster in listeners an unstoppable spirit. This song particularly speaks to those who face challenges and obstacles in life, reminding them that they too can't be stopped, and that they must keep moving even when things get tough.

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.
