Can't Stop the Music
Village People Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyone you meet, the children in the street
Are swayin' to the rhythm, there's somethin' movin' in them.
There's no place to hide, so, why even try?
Can't you hear it coming your way, it's here to stay.
Music in our walk, music when we talk.
It's really something magic, to lose it would be tragic.
Can't you feel the sound movin' through the ground?
Music makes the world go around.

You can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the cold from snow, tell the trees, don't grow,
Tell the wind, don't blow, 'cause it's easier.
No, you can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the spark from love, make the rain fall up
'cause that's easier to do.

Movin' with the wind since the world began,
The beat is gonna getcha, beat is gonna getcha.
Music for the blues, for your dancin' shoes,
There's music in the way that we kiss, you can't resist.
Movin' through the trees, buzzin' with the bees,
The sound is gettin' louder, sound is gettin' louder.
Music when we play, when we kneel to pray.
There's music in the sound of the wind.

You can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the heat from flame, try not feeling pain,
Though you try in vain it's much easier.
No, you can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Change the master plan, take the hope from man
'cause that's easier to do.

On the radio, on every TV show
For each and every reason, each and every season.
Music when we love for the moon above,
Music for the show of life that never ends.
Music on a plane, music on a train,
Sailing in the ocean, music in the motion.
Music in your car, at your local bar.
There's music when you look at a star.

You can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the heat from flame, try not feeling pain,
Though you try in vain it's much easier.
No, you can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Change the master plan, take the hope from man
'cause that's easier to do.

You can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the heat from flame, try not feeling pain,
Though you try in vain it's much easier.
No, you can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.




Change the master plan, take the hope from man
'cause that's easier to do.

There's no place to hide, so, why even try?
Can't you hear it coming your way, it's here to stay
Music in our walk, music when we talk

Can't you feel the sound movin' through the ground?
Music makes the world go around

You can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music
Take the cold from snow, tell the trees, don't grow
Tell the wind don't blow, 'cause it's easier
No, you can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music
Take the spark from love, make the rain fall up
'cause that's easier to do

Movin' with the wind since the world began
The beat is gonna getcha, beat is gonna getcha
Music for the blues, for your dancin' shoes
There's music in the way that we kiss, you can't resist
Movin' through the trees, buzzin' with the bees
The sound is gettin' louder, sound is gettin' louder

No, you can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music
Change the master plan, take the hope from man

On the radio, on every TV show
For each and every reason, each and every season
Music when we love for the moon above
Music for the show of life that never ends
Music on a plane, music on a train
Sailing on the ocean, music in the motion
Music in your car, at your local bar
There's music when you look at a star

You can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music
Keep two loves apart, mend a broken heart
Catch a fallin' star that's much easier
No, you can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music
Tell the sun don't shine, stop Old Father Time
'cause that's easier to do

If that's not the most underated songs of all time I don't know what is. Perfection

James Rawlins

I think it would have been a big hit if the movie wasn't so much a piece of garbage (one of the movies that killed the movie musical for quite awhile, along with Sgt. Pepper and Xanadu)

BaileySEA

David Brett, I think it's underrated because of that lousy Can't Stop the Music movie. But I really love the song too.

Billy Weir

I must be the only one who liked the movie, oh well, how sad am I?

Todavia recuerdo cuando en la secundaria esta musica se escuchaba por todos lados, las chicas de la escuela con sus peinados de la epoca, lucian hermosas de pelo largo, hoy a mis 60 y, al recordarlos, vívo nuevamente esos bellos momento y sin darme cuenta se me va un profundo suspiro...

Carlos Bernal

Pasaron los años y pasarán más y está canción sigue y seguirá poniéndome contento.
