"I Can't Stand It!" is the song recorded by the Dutch dance artist Twenty 4 Seven. It was released in late 1989, as the first single for the debut studio album Street Moves. The first version of the song featured MC Fixxit on lead raps, but was re-done by Captain Hollywood after he left the group. This version (as well as the first) featured Dutch vocalist Nancy Coolen and rappers Hanks and Jacks. The single reached number 7 in the UK Charts. It was released all over European countries, particularly the Netherlands where it reached 17 in the Dutch Charts. Twenty 4th Street is the name used in North America for Twenty 4 Seven, apparently for legal reasons.

Music video

There were two different music videos for the single albeit had the same setting (set outside a church with a Cadillac parked in front of it). The original hip-house version features Fixxit, Coolen and the dancers along with additional female dancers. When it later released internationally as a single it was redone with Hollywood as the featured rapper in place of Fixxit. Even the scene where the Cadillac's owner pushed aside the rappers was altered; Fixxit riding off in a bike, Hollywood in a car in need of gasoline. The video's song and message also featured the image and quotes of Nelson Mandela flashing in the song break.
