You Can't Stop the Beat - Hairspray (2007 film) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The musical remake of the 2007 movie version of the Broadway adaptation of John Waters' 1988 socially conscious hit mines the fun-loving essence of early-'60s beehive-powered pop music that peaks with this earth-shaking dazzler. Steered by a cast-iron crew of bona fide stars – Elijah Kelley, John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Nikki Blonsky, Zac Efron & Amanda Bynes – "You Can't Stop the Beat" tips its hat to the Phil Spector-produced 1966 Ike & Tina Turner hit "River Deep – Mountain High" and is characterised its central, beaming message: "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". Oozing with cross-generational appeal, the soundtrack – which features nineteen songs from the film written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman – has been certified platinum by the RIAA.
