In the remake, he has a light blue outline and a lighter color palette. At the beginning of the routine, he gets his colors with an animation made of filling rectangles.

Just Dance
The background appears to be a library. The color of the background is white and green. There are some bookshelves at the sides of the background and there is flying paper sheets falling down from the ceiling.

Remake
In the remake, the background is in shades of aqua green and only shows five stylized bookshelves (two on the left and three on the right), which bounce and jump according to the coach's moves. Sometimes, sheets of paper in shades of white and green levitate from the bookshelves.

During the bridge, the bookshelves slide to the right and get replaced by other identical ones.

At the end, while the coach runs away from the screen, the scenery trembles as if there was an earthquake, and it then fades to black.

Trivia

 * This song and Groove Is in the Heart are the only remaining songs from the first game to have a difficulty of 3, because every other song with a difficulty of 3 was reduced to 2 in  and /Best Of, while these two songs are only in.
 * There is a lyric error: a line says "Can't you hear you talk to loud?" instead of "Can't you hear you talk too loud?".
 * This has not been fixed in the remake.
 * Always in the remake, the word "to" from "You've got to jerk it out" is not displayed the first time it is sung.
 * The beta version of the dancer had a slightly lighter color scheme and he looked more like a cartoon character.
 * Also in the beta version, the background was slightly darker.
 * This is one of the only two songs that has both a difficulty and an effort of 3 in . The other song is Acceptable in the 80s.
