"Can't Stop Dancin" is a song written by John Pritchard Jr. and Ray Stevens which became a Top 40 hit for Captain and Tennille in early 1977. It was the first single released from their third studio album, Come In from the Rain.

The lyrics speak of music as being reflective of the 'rhythm of the universe.' Dancing is the best way to respond to that rhythm, indicating the need for resilience in order to adjust to the vicissitudes of life.

"Can't Stop Dancin'" reached number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 11 in Canada on the RPM Top singles chart. It charted slightly higher on the Adult Contemporary charts of both nations.
