"It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls is featured on Just Dance 2, Just Dance 3 (as a DLC), Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, Just Dance Unlimited, Just Dance Now and Just Sing.

Appearance of the Dancer
The dancer is wearing a green raincoat with white buttons, a blue collar, a pink sash, and pink and blue cuffs. She is wearing polka-dotted boots that are colored blue and dark pink. She also has lime green hair.

Just Dance 2
This routine takes place in front of a city with brightly lit buildings. It is raining heavily and puddles can be seen on the ground. Water droplets appear on-screen as if you were looking through a camera. Every time the dancer performs certain moves, lightning strikes the dancer.

Just Dance 3/Greatest Hits
In the Xbox 360 versions of those games, the rain drops make a different effect when touching the ground, and blue flashes appear on the city whenever It's raining men! is sung.

Remake
In the remake, the effect of the rain has changed again, as it is more visible and rain drops appear more frequently.

Gold Moves
There are 4 Gold Moves in the routine:

Gold Moves 1, 2 and 3: Raise both of your hands up, outstretched. (Akin to Fame)

Gold Move 4: Quickly "swash" your right hand such that it almost makes contact with your left hand. This is the final move of the routine.

Trivia

 * The skyscrapers are farther from the screen in the Xbox version, and the rain has a different effect.
 * The final verse and chorus of the song are cut from the routine.
 * One of the captions above is named after the artist who sang the song.
 * Along with Dagomba, Futebol Crazy, and Alright, this song is one of the final DLC's to be released for Just Dance 3.
 * There are two errors in the lyrics: She took off the heaven appears as She took off heaven, and To rearrange the sky appears as To rearranged the sky. Both only appear the second time they are sung.
 * In the remake, they appear as She took on the heavens and She rearranged the sky.
 * In the Xbox versions of Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, one of the pictograms have been mirrored to show the move better.
 * In Just Dance 2 and the remake, the color of the dancer's outline is green and blue, while in Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, the color of the outline is red.
 * In the original version, there are some cheering sounds at the beginning and end of the routine. There is also a blue and green glow around the dancer when she performs complicated moves that are not counted before the bridge. It is removed in the remake.
 * Also, the dancer simply fades away almost immediately in the remake (and is struck by lightning when she does so) rather than walking away like in the original version.
 * The same pose of the original and the remake version on a selection screen were slightly different.
 * From April 28th, 2016 to May 11th, 2016, the song was a VIP exclusive on Just Dance Now.
 * In the Wii versions of Just Dance 3 and Greatest Hits/Best Of, the coach no longer appears with a lightning orb effect. The sound effect still plays, however.
