 * There are some mistakes in the lyrics:
 * "Se" is spelled as "shay".
 * The word "lovin'", which is spelled as "loving", is written in all caps.
 * "Se na ma body you need" is misinterpreted as "Se na her body you need".
 * "I know it is our loving you want" is misinterpreted as "Shay na my money you want".
 * Some of the moves from the music video are used in the Extreme Version.
 * The seventh generation version of the Classic routine uses a more simplified background. However, the menu icon still uses the eighth generation background.
