Lyrics
The party jacka, suckers are sidelined, the mic's a deadline, my tape's the rewind using 'em as guidelines I hit rebels like bricks get thick when in the mystic kick quick 'em break 'em like toothpicks You can't get with this instrumental record schola' My lyrics hug a B' like ring-around a colla,' so don't screw up Let them move Let them move, oh Let them move (Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet) Let them move Let them move Let them move, babe Let them move (Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet) Let them move, oh

- LET THEM MOVE is one of the few Naoki Maeda songs that was removed at some point in the arcade DanceDanceRevolution series and was never revived again.
- According to Naoki in several interviews, this is because he feels ashamed of the song [1].
- In an interview with DDRSpot.com, Jason Enos, manager of the DanceDanceRevolution CS titles in America, tried hard to exclude the song from appearing in DanceDanceRevolution KONAMIX because he hated it.
- In his words: "[When] they wanted to put Let Them Move on Konamix, oh my gosh, I just went nuts. I sent the poll results. I was like, "Look. See the poll results? Let Them Move? Rank: Zero! Bottom of the list! Please do not include!" I just told them to please not include this song in there. Everyone hates this song. Do not put it in there. They wanted to put it in for the training, because it's a real easy song, and since it was going to be in training, they thought it would have been stupid not to make it a selectable song. Okay, well I can understand that, but I told them, "Can we just get something else besides that song?" But no, they kinda like that song. No one else likes it though. That song, I'm not very pleased about. Then again, I don't [want] any people ever selecting that song in the public".
