You Can't Stop The Beat by Marc Shaiman Full Orchestra - Digital Sheet Music
By Marc Shaiman"You Can't Stop The Beat" is the finale number in the 2002 musical Hairspray. It is sung by Tracy, Link, Penny, Seaweed, Edna, Motor Mouth, Velma, and Amber with Corny and Wilbur as backing singers. Although the lyrics touch on sizeism and racism, the song also references broader themes of change and progression. The song pays tribute to the Phil Spector-produced 1966 Ike & Tina Turner hit "River Deep – Mountain High".Members of the Hairspray Live! cast have lovingly mocked the song as "You Can't Stop to Breathe"
