There's no better feeling than sitting behind the wheel of your car, hearing your favorite song come on the radio and cranking up the volume to indulge in an in-car dancing session. 

And nobody knows that adrenaline rush better than 17-month-old JP, who was caught on camera boogieing on down to the sounds of Pitbull and Ne-Yo's hip hop hit Time of Our Lives while waiting in the car with his mother, and personal cameraman, Stephanie. 

At the start of the clip, JP, from Salt Lake City, Utah, can be seen standing up on the driver's seat, with his hands on the wheel of the parked car, before he bends down to crank up the volume on the radio, having heard his favorite song playing. 

After raising the volume to ear-splitting level, JP begins nodding his head to the beat, while waving his arm around in the air to the upbeat tune.  

But just moments after JP has lifted his hands off the wheel, raising them in the air to really kick his dynamic up a notch,  his mother Stephanie leans over to turn down the volume, much to his dismay. 

Refusing to be deterred from his jam session, the spirited youngster casts a less-than-impressed glare in his mother's direction, before defiantly leaning over to turn up the volume once again.

But while young JP might not look like a hip hop star, clad in his adorable monkey-print onesie, he certainly proves he has the attitude of a chart-topping music legend, as he pops back up and pointedly starts dancing once again, all the while staring as his mother, almost daring her to turn the volume down once again. 

Which she does, much to his frustration. 

And, no surprise, he is quick to grab the volume knob once again, cranking the hit up once again, prompting his mother to once again turn it back down, while laughing at his blatant disregard for her attempts to keep the noise down.

'You can't turn it up so loud!' she explains to the bewildered tot.

As the clip ends, the youngster can be seen coming to terms with the quieter compromise; has something of a confused expression on his face as he leans towards his mother and the camera, before shrugging his shoulders and carrying on with his dancing. 

And according to mom Stephanie, this is not the first time that JP has revealed a fondness for loud music. 

'Whenever JP hears a beat, he starts dancing!' she wrote alongside the clip. 'He always likes the music turned up loud!

'Watch him take control of the radio and get his groove on!'
