@@vishawn1388 haha no way! i had no idea you were a subscriber! :) so the thing is, i'm taking a bit of a break from youtube, since i've been super busy with school and activities!
Singing this song while dancing is the most grueling part of the musical, but the most fun! (Though you need the lung capacity of approximately 10,000 gallons.)
Okay, but this musical should be mandatory for everyone to watch right now. It has such a powerful message about discrimination - and the songs are too catchy to ignore!
I had to sing this in my high school choir. I liked the song, but had no interest in seeing the movie. Years later I saw the movie on TV and I watched it all the way through and fell in love with it. The songs are awesome and John Travolta as the mom was hilarious!! He was GREAT in that movie!
This song pretty much encompasses everything that makes Hairspray a great musical: the energy, the color (not referring to the racial discussions in the plot here), the messages it communicates. It's an incredibly well-put-together show, whether on the stage or screen. No matter how you view it, this song will make you wanna get up and shake and shimmy right along with the cast!
Listening to this during the Coronavirus pandemic. It really speaks to everything that goes on currently, as well as the past. This is definitely gonna be a celebratory song when we can finally get out and about. Life around us goes on and love is immortal.
I sang this in HS as Penny, definitely not my finest moment. Both the girl originally supposed play her and the understudy got food poisoning the night before bc they were friends. The director knew I was only one in stage crew who could sing and she was having trouble finding a replacement bc of short notice, so I took one for the team. I had to learn my lines, the song AND choreography overnight. Everyone was up all night. Then when the school closed, I was up till 8am practicing in my room. Now I’ve memorized plenty of songs in minutes but this definitely takes the cake. I was so nervous I threw up in full costume beforehand but I think I did pretty good.
Playlist Girl Actually the irony of this comment is I've decided to watch all three versions of Hairspray: the 1988 version, the 2007 version, and Hairspray Live because I was curious. They all sucked.
Was it 2 collage age girls doing a finale dance from when they were eight on a beach in the dark in a crowd of unsuspecting people at a silent rave screeching with excitement inappropriate ?
This song is amazing. someone thought hairspray was just a stupid musical and I was like lol actually its actually has such an important message like tf
The Ares cabin once told the Apollo cabin to turn down their sappy music because it was 'ruining their training'. One week later, Apollo's kids presented one of the best ever performances of "You Can't Stop The Beat" right in front of the Ares cabin.
And when Apollo found out about it, he invited the New York party ponies over to Long Island with the promise of root-beer. The party didn't stop until Chiron threatened to put the entire Apollo cabin on chore duties for a month.
Our school was doing a production of Hair spray last year and my friend wanted to be the lead, Tracey, so she auditioned and was told she was 'too skinny' for the role so she gained a hell load of weight only to find out that the role had already been taken by someone else 😂
I can't believe John Travolta went from accidentally shooting Marvin in the face and getting shot in the bathroom to this. it's fucking crazy how much talent this guy has.
The meaning of the songs is amazing! Doesn't matter how conservative you are. You can't stop change. Love yourself and shake it! Cuz no one can stop you. :)
I remember in 6th grade my Chorus teacher had us pick a musical to watch since we had nothing to do and we all wanted to watch grease but he said no we got to watch hairspray instead and who knew we’d all end up loving it.
Panic ! at the twenty one Chemical romance concert. Omg I'm in 4th grade we well sing this for our spring concert dude we are leering it now y'all we even dancing to it in dance group I'm in both groups choir and dance
In my school's Hairspray production, for the song 'Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now', our director added eight other moms and daughters. I'm paired with my very best friend as her daughter... Here's the funny part... The first is that we were paired because she was taller than me, and everyone else in the group they were closing from, and I was the shortest, of everyone in the group they were choosing from. The funniest thing is that she's *younger than me* ! But I'm so excited to be a part of this production!
"Cause tomorrow is a brand new day, and it don't know white from black (Yeah!)". That entire paragraph from "Child yesterday" to the end was so impactful XD
I sang this in choir today and everyone thought I was crazy. Thank the heavens for TH-cam so I can look up masterpieces like this when I forget where theyre from
Omg so many people in the comments are complaining about how hard it was to sing this song for choir and I don't get it. I mean, I understand they're singing really fast but it's really not as hard as anyone's making it out to be.
You know, I generally hate musicals. I have a strong bitterness towards them... and Hairspray? It actually wasn't bad. This is actually a decent song :D
More like "You can't stop to breathe" 🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️

The Ares cabin once told the Apollo cabin to turn down their sappy music because it was 'ruining their training'. One week later, Apollo's kids presented one of the best ever performances of "You Can't Stop The Beat" right in front of the Ares cabin.
Even worse was that it took place at precisely 3 AM at full volume on Apollo's own speakers.
And when Apollo found out about it, he invited the New York party ponies over to Long Island with the promise of root-beer. The party didn't stop until Chiron threatened to put the entire Apollo cabin on chore duties for a month.

I sang this in my 6th grade choir and it was my favorite song of that year. I loved it and thats when my love for music and acting grew even more.
i have to sing this for an assignment, so i’m listening to it over and over again until i remember the lyrics.
I hate to say this but the remake of hairspray(this one) is way better than the older one!
This isn't the remake tho
This is the remake dude the voices are quite iconic. This is definitely Queen Latifah and Christopher Walken
