"Body Movin'" is a song by American hip hop group Beastie Boys,released as the second single from their fifth studio album Hello Nasty .
The Fatboy Slim remix has the same lyrics,but has differences in the instrumental. This remix features a sample of "Fido" by The Byrds. This song is also featured on the Beastie Boys compilation The Sounds of Science which was released in the United States.

The music video uses the Fatboy Slim remix version and was directed by MCA,under his alias Nathaniel Hornblower. It parodies and incorporates scenes from the 1968 Italian action film Danger:Diabolik (based on the comic character Diabolik) with Ad-Rock playing the titular character,MCA playing the villain and Mike D as the villain's assistant. It was released in two versions:censored and uncensored,with the censored version replacing machine gun fire with that of a laser gun,and omitting a comedic but bloody decapitation from the uncensored version.
The Fatboy Slim remix of the song is briefly played in the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness . The song was featured in one episode of MTV animated series Daria . In Chile,the song was used as a jingle for TVN TV Show Calle 7 through 2010–2012. The song was featured in the Netflix docuseries Don't F**k with Cats:Hunting an Internet Killer because a featured Facebook user had named her username,"Baudi Moovan," after the song.
