"Rockin' Over the Beat" is a song by Belgian dance act Technotronic. It first appeared on their debut album Pump Up the Jam in 1989 and was released as a single the following year. It is accredited to "Technotronic featuring Ya Kid K", who co-wrote the track with Jo Bogaert (aka Thomas De Quincey).

The song is an upbeat house tune espousing the pleasures of dancing. It is representative of the positive and melodic feel of the Pump Up the Jam album. "Rockin' Over the Beat" was a respectable hit for Technotronic; it reached #9 in the UK, #11 in Ireland and breached the Billboard Hot 100 at #95.

The single was released on vinyl and Compact Disc. In the UK the 7" edition comprised an edit of the LP version together with an album track, "Raw". In Belgium the "Rockin' Over Manchester 7" Remix" by Bernard Sumner of New Order was the A-side, again with "Raw" as the B-side, while in France the Sumner mix appeared as the B-side with a single edit as the first track.

Most 12" releases featured three remixes by Bernard Sumner: the "Piccadilly", "Hacienda" and "Instrumental" mixes, all of which were prefixed with "Rockin' Over Manchester" (where Sumner is from), with the album version included as the first track in France and Britain.

Lyric:
Oh oh yeah, oh oh yeah
Oh oh yeah

Rollin' under the melody, rockin' over the beat
As i'm checkin' up on the rhythm and make
The whole sound sweet
Not like candy you taste that so you can be
Ymco music is good to the truth and you agree

Over and on and on and on and on and on and
Over us all and all to all for all and all to

Each for me and i for y'all,
United we stand, divided we fall
One for all and all for one,
United we stand, we'll get the job done
Each for me and i for y'all,
United we stand, divided we fall
One for all and all for one,
United we stand, we'll get the job done

Oh oh yeah, oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah

Rollin' under the melody, rockin' over the beat
Rockin', rollin' under the melody
And make the whole sound neat and sweet
Yes, from me to you, you taste that say
It's too good to be true
One for all and all for one and you agree
Rollin' under the melody, rockin' over the beat
As i'm checkin' up on the rhythm
And make the whole sound sweet

Get into the sound, keep rollin' the tune
Feel like rockin' the whole track through
Just stand only for you
Get into the sound, keep rollin' the tune
Feel like rockin' the whole track through
Just stand only for you
Get into the sound, keep rollin' the tune
Feel like rockin' the whole track through
Just stand only for you
Get into the sound, keep rollin' the tune
Feel like rockin' the whole track through
Just stand only for you

Rollin' under the melody, rockin' over the beat
As i'm checkin' up on the rhythm and make
The whole sound sweet
Not like candy you taste that so you can be
Ymco music is good to the truth and you agree

Over and on and on and on and on and on and
It's all over your life there, hey yeah, hey yeah

Rollin' under the melody, rockin' over the beat
Rockin' over the beat, rollin' under the melody
Rollin' under the melody, rockin' over the beat
Rockin', rollin', rollin', rockin', rockin', rollin', rollin', rock

Get into the sound, keep rollin' the tune
Feel like rockin' the whole track through
Just stand only for you
Get into the sound, keep rollin' the tune
Feel like rockin' the whole track through
Just stand only for you
(stand only for you) just stand only for you
(stand only for you) stand only for you
Only for, only for you (stand only for you)
Over and on and on and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on and on

Rollin' under the melody, rockin' over the beat
As i'm checkin' up on the rhythm and make
The whole sound sweet
Not like candy you taste that so you can be
Ymco music is good to the truth and you agree

Each for me and i for y'all,
United we stand, divided we fall
One for all and all for one,
United we stand, we'll get the job done
Each for me and i for y'all,
United we stand, divided we fall
