I Like to Move It

"I Like to Move It" is a song by American solo project Reel 2 Real (Erick Morillo), featuring ragga vocals by Trinidad and Tobago rapper The Mad Stuntman (Mark Quashie).

In 2021, it was reworked in a remix version by Tunisian DJ-producer duo, Outrage and Spanish DJ and vocalist Alejandro under the title, "Move It".

[7] "Go on Move" peaked at number six on the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart, which began Reel 2 Real featuring The Mad Stuntman's ascent into popular mainstream music.

Released in the fall of 1993, "I Like to Move It" was picked up by Positiva Records in the UK and started climbing on the charts in Australia, Canada, Europe, Southeast Africa and the US.

"[9] Larry Flick from Billboard noted that here, "Reggae beat sensibilities are woven around loose house and rave keyboards.

The Mad Stuntman toasts with predictable speed, cutting through the fairly thick groove with a raspy edge.

"[11] David Hemingway from Melody Maker viewed it as "a sonic equivalent of the tango advert — equal parts irritant/wonderful pop song.

[14] Maria Jimenez from Music & Media remarked that the "boomin'"[15] and "grinding scorcher is gaining much audience and radio support on this side of the ocean.

[17] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update named it a "madly happy gruff ragga rapped bogle/soca-style leaper".

[18] Gareth Grundy from Select wrote, "As idiot pop goes, it doesn't come more dafter — or more effective — than the title track of this album.

The single entered the top 10 in Austria, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100 and European Dance Radio chart, where it peaked at numbers two[20] and three,[21] respectively.

[8] Dele Fadele from NME noted that it featured "the mock-crazy ragga chatter dancing in the streets of New York with one trouser-leg rolled up.

It was featured on Just Dance 3 as a downloadable track but became unavailable for purchase following the shutdown of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019, and the removal of most DLCs from the Xbox 360 Marketplace on August 20, 2023.

[85] In the second season of Norwegian reality singing competition Maskorama, based on the South Korean television series King of Mask Singer, the song was performed in episode three in November 2021.
