Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) was released in 1990 as the debut single by American dance group C+C Music Factory. Built around Martha Wash's powerhouse vocal and a rap by Freedom Williams, it reached number one in the US in 1991 and became a staple of clubs, sports arenas and films. The Everybody Dance Now hook outlived the full song online, where short clips reuse it as a universal cue for dancing, exercising and frantic energy in memes and edits.
