Along with being a Broadway classic, "You Can't Stop The Beat" from Hairspray is very transcendental. A common belief in transcendentalism is to rebel against those who hold you back, and that is a very prominent in this song; in the chorus it even says "If you try to hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye and say that you can't stop the beat!" In addition to the rebellious nature of this song, it also embraces the individuality of the characters involved. From a man dressed as a woman who loves to eat, to an interracial couple, there is no conformity with this group!
