"Can't Stop the Music" is a song recorded by American disco group the Village People.
As the group's first release after the exit of original lead singer Victor Willis, with lead vocals sung by replacement cop Ray Simpson, the song was the first Village People single since their commercial breakthrough to not chart inside the US top 40, though it fared much better in Europe (reaching #7 in Belgium, #10 in West Germany, #11 in the UK, #15 in Sweden, #18 in Ireland, and #19 in Austria), South Africa (reaching #1 in the country), and Oceania (reaching #1 in Australia and #2 in New Zealand).
It is the title track from the soundtrack album of their feature film, Can't Stop the Music, which failed to attract a major audience, except in Australia.
Cash Box said that compared to the Village People's previous hits, this song "[emphasizes] the music a bit more and [softens] the normally strident beat.
Puerto Rican boy band Menudo wrote a Spanish-language adaptation of the song, entitled "No Se Puede Parar la Música", in 1981.
