"Move This" is a song by Belgian electronic music project Technotronic featuring Ya Kid K, who co-wrote the lyrics with producer Jo Bogaert. 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 third and final top-ten hit.[3] The accompanying music video was directed by The Kahn Brothers.[4] "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". The song was also used by Revlon in a series of TV commercials in 1992.
Critical reception
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.[5] Harry Sumrall from Knight Ridder felt it has "the female-group sound of the '60s with a house update".[6] Diana Valois from The Morning Call described it as "a sunny blend of subtle African world beat and house music".[2]
