Trivia
General
- A-Punk is the first Duet to appear in the menu of Just Dance 2, thus being the first Duet in the Just Dance series.
- P2 has an avatar available on Just Dance 4, but this avatar did not return in Just Dance 2014. It is one of the few Just Dance 4 avatars to not return in the following game, along with Cotton Eye Joe and Somethinā Stupid (P1).
- However, A-Punk (P2)ās Beta avatar has been proven to exist in the Beta version of Just Dance 2014.
- Strangely, this Beta avatar has purple hair and a purple hat.
- In the preview gameplay, the song is mistakenly named Vampire Weekend (the trackās performing band).
- The Just Dance 2 announcement trailer showed P1 dancing alone, in order to make the Duet mode a surprise.
- He also had a different color scheme.
- In a promotional gameplay, the Gold Move pictogram for P2 is reversed.
- In the preview gameplay, the coaches do not start with the ice effect. Instead, they just look at each other before starting.[1]
- P1 is shown on the NTSC box art of Just Dance 2, along with TiK ToK and Call Me.
- In the Xbox 360 DLC guide manual for Just Dance 4, the menu icon of A-Punk is seen.[citation needed]
- The pictograms for the remake are in the style of Just Dance 3, suggesting that this song was supposed to be on Just Dance 3 (as a downloadable track), Just Dance: Greatest Hits, and/or Just Dance: Best Of.
- The coaches also look slightly different in Problemās Mashup.
- In the remake, P2ās glove sometimes glitches to lime green.
- Not including any of the instrumental songs, A-Punk and Sympathy for the Devil are the first two songs in the series where the title is not mentioned in the lyrics.
