"Move Any Mountain" was a single performed by The Shamen. With a new radio remix by The Beatmasters, the song was released in the UK during the summer of 1991 and was their first top-ten single, reaching number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. It was the band's only top-40 hit in the U.S., where the song peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The promotional video was filmed on the slopes of Mount Teide, Tenerife island where Will Sinnott drowned and died. This happened on 23 May 1991.
In response to demand for remixes from fans, the band released the entire sample list and a number of remixes on the album Progeny, which at the time meant the single and album release of the track made it the only record to chart on both UK Singles and Album Charts at the same time.
It is held that Japanese video game music producer Yuzo Koshiro made a remixed instrumental rendition of "Move Any Mountain" for the base-ball Stadium stage in Streets of Rage 2, officially titled "Under Logic".
The English singer Kate Walsh recorded a version of "Move Any Mountain" for her 2010 album "Peppermint Radio".

Famous quotes containing the words move and/or mountain:
“The great God endows His children variously. To some he gives intellect—and they move the earth. To some he allots heart—and the beating pulse of humanity is theirs. But to some He gives only a soul, without intelligence—and these, who never grow up, but remain always His children, are God’s fools, kindly, elemental, simple, as if from His palette the Artist of all had taken one color instead of many.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“Bald as the bare mountain tops are bald, with a baldness full of grandeur.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
