The lyrics to Technotronic's song "Move This" are an invitation to let go, dance, and have fun. The repetitive chorus and the exhortation to "shake that body" create an infectious rhythm that makes it almost impossible not to move. The lyrics also suggest a sense of urgency - the repetition of "Don't you know it's about time?" emphasizes the idea that there is no better moment than now to let loose and enjoy oneself.
The second verse of the song picks up on the theme of different flavors and spices, suggesting that there is something for everyone on the dance floor. The lines "Can you feel the mellow crawling fast / Drummer, baby, rhythm blast" suggest that the music is taking hold of the dancers' bodies and moving them in ways they might not have anticipated. The song, therefore, can be seen as an ode to the power of music to bring people together and to make them feel alive.
Overall, "Move This" is a celebratory song that encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and to dance like no one's watching. The lyrics are simple, but effective, and are likely to inspire even the most reluctant dancers to get up and move.

Ya Kid K was down to earth but could bring the crowd to their feet. Give this girl her flowers.

Hip Hop was so fun back then. The dance jam era of the late 80's/early 90's was the best 👌
