"I Like the Way (You Move)" is a single by Australian DJ duo the BodyRockers, released in 2005. The song's chorus is based on Billy Idol's rock hit 'Mony Mony'.

Tom Jones is currently performing this song in his tour in the US. He sang it at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Southern California on Memorial Day Weekend. The song was also performed at Vina 2007 in Europe.

This single reached #3 in 2005 in the UK and became a huge hit, having an amazing chartrun of almost 40 weeks. It is currently still on the lower part of the chart. The song is now becoming a hit in the US, currently climbing the pop charts following its feature in a Diet Coke ("Loft") commercial.

It peaked at number nine on the Canadian Singles Chart, and it fell to number nineteen in its second week. In the edition of week 34 in the Dutch Top 40, the song entered at #39. The song features a sample which is almost identical to the beat of Deep Dish's 'Flashdance', however this has never been officially acknowledged, although the similarities are obvious. It is unsure whether a direct sample was used. However, the song's intro and bass line has many similarities with the Nine Inch Nails song The Hand that Feeds, but this may be coincidental.
