"Move Your Feet" is a song by Danish pop duo Junior Senior from their debut studio album, D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat (2002). The song, originally released in June 2002 in the duo's native Denmark, was issued worldwide in 2003 and became Junior Senior's biggest hit, reaching 4 in Denmark, No. 3 in the United Kingdom, and No. 20 in Australia. A music video for the song, directed by British art collective Shynola, was created using low-resolution pixel art. The song was sampled in Nicki Minaj's 2024 song "Everybody".^[2]

Chart performance

The song proved to be successful in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart for two non-consecutive weeks, going on to become Britain's 16th-best-selling single of 2003. It reached number four on the Danish Singles Chart and number 10 in Ireland. It was a moderate hit in Australia, peaking at number 20. In 2013, the song re-entered the French Singles Chart at number 11.

Music video

This song was accompanied by an animated music video by British art collective Shynola,^[3] using low-resolution (90×72) pixel art produced using Deluxe Paint. The video features animated characters of the members of Junior Senior, dancing figures, and personified inanimate objects, as well as, curiously, Abraham Lincoln in the closing seconds of the video.^[4]
