"Move This" is a song by Belgian electronic music project Technotronic featuring Ya Kid K. Recorded in 1989 and appearing on Technotronic's debut album, Pump Up the Jam: The Album (1989), the song was re-recorded and included on The Greatest Hits (1993). It peaked at No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming their 3rd and last top-10 hit.[3] "Move This" is featured in the motion picture Let's Go to Prison, starring Will Arnett and Dax Shepard, and the King of the Hill episode "Dances with Dogs".
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]In 1992, Larry Flick from Billboard magazine noted that the "pop-juiced hip-houser" was first heard on Technotronic's Pump Up the Jam album in 1989. He wrote, "Resurrection via a Revlon TV commercial has sparked heavy pop radio interest. Ya Kid K's rhymes are appropriately cute'n'clever, and the beats and melody are strong enough to withstand heavy competition."[1] BuzzFeed ranked it number 35 in their list of "The 101 Greatest Dance Songs of the '90s" in 2017.[4] Harry Sumrall from Knight Ridder felt it has "the female-group sound of the '60s with a house update".[5] Diana Valois from The Morning Call described it as "a sunny blend of subtle African world beat and house music".[2]
