"U Can't Touch This" is a hit single written, produced and performed by MC Hammer from his 1990 album, ''Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em''. The track is considered to be Hammer's signature song and is perhaps his most successful single. Along with Hammer, Rick James shares songwriting credits with Alonzo Miller because the song samples the prominent opening riff of "Super Freak". The song has been used or referenced in multiple television shows, films, commercials and other forms of media. It has also received numerous awards and recognitions. ==Production== The song samples the prominent opening riff of the Rick James song "Super Freak", which is repeated throughout the recording. The lyrics describe Hammer as having "toured around the world, from London to the Bay" and as being "magic on the mic", which Hammer says coincides with James' "beat that you can't touch". Additionally, the song lyrics "You can't touch this" and "Stop, Hammer time!" became pop culture catchphrases. ''Hammertime'' was later used the title of a reality show starring Hammer on the A&E Network in the summer of 2009.〔. ''Hammertime''. Retrieved June 17, 2014.〕 The sample of "Super Freak" that forms the basis of the song led to Rick James and other performers on the original record to file a lawsuit for infringement of copyright. The suit was settled out of court when Hammer agreed to credit James as a songwriter, effectively granting James millions of dollars in royalties.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Answers.com )〕 The song was first performed publicly on a late 1989 episode of ''The Arsenio Hall Show''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「U Can't Touch This」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
