Trivia

 * From Just Dance 3 onward, the song is covered by The Sunlight Shakers.
 * However, on the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3, the song is not covered.
 * In The Smurfs Dance Party, the title of the song is Who Let the Smurfs Out?, and the coach is Gargamel.
 * There's an avatar of the dancer available in Just Dance 2014, only unlockable in July.
 * The avatar is also available on Just Dance 2015, but only if you have saved data from the previous games (only possible on Wii).
 * If you look closely at the dog mask, you can see the dancer's head in the mouth hole.
 * In the Just Dance version, his costume was white, but it was changed into a yellow tone. Later remakes are based on this beta element.
 * In a few lyrics on the Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits versions, there is a full stop at the end of the lines, making them read Who let the dogs out.. This only happens during the second, third, and fourth times in which the lyrics are sung. In the other times when it is sung, it says Who let the dogs out without the full stop.
 * This only happens on the Wii version of both of the games.
 * The short gameplay for this routine was the first Just Dance gameplay video to be uploaded on the American Just Dance YouTube channel.undefined
 * This is the second coach with yellow skin in the series; the first is Hot N Cold.
 * However, this coach receives the typical white skin tone in Just Dance 3, while Hot N Cold had to wait for her remake to have her skin coloured white.
 * In Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited, the Gold Move pictogram is reversed.
 * At the beginning of the Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits versions, some quiet barking noises and a police siren can be heard.
