The 333 Best Pop Songs of the 2000s: #253

#253: "Can't Stop Moving'" (2007) - Sonny J.

Halloween is over, but before the Autumn People pack up their tents, we need a silly, celebratory song to help send them on their way. This ode to joy (and dancing), by British DJ Sonny J--who samples what sounds like the Jackson 5 along with a few soul sisters and grafts their voices onto a hip-hop beat and soulful horns--is silly, celebratory, and infectious, guaranteed to ward off Coogar & Dark & the Dust Witch & Mr. Electrico & whatever's been causing your soul to sink. Pump up the volume and break the mirror maze of doubt and regret and free your soul. Step right up.
