"A-Punk" by Vampire Weekend is featured on Just Dance 2 (where it was also on the demo). It can be also found on the Just Dance Unlimited files.
Appearance of the Dancers[]
The dancers appear to be teenagers in winter clothing. They both appear frozen, break out of the frozen state for the choreography, and freeze again at the end of the choreography.
P1[]
P1 is a teenage boy with an orange and red toque, a lime green, white, orange, and red vest, a white long-sleeved shirt, lime green pants, a dark orange glove, and pink shoes with orange laces.
P2[]
P2 is a teenage girl with curly red hair in short pigtails. She wears a neon green and orange winter hat, an orange scarf with yellow accents, a pink sweater, a pink and orange skirt, pink ankle socks, a yellow glove, and white shoes.
In the remake, both dancers look more realistic and have slightly darker color schemes.
Background[]
Just Dance 2[]
The routine takes place in a park-like setting, in a blizzard. There are trees swaying in the wind. Also, a white house is visible in the left corner of the background. The layout is in a 2D design, in pastel colors without outlines.
Remake[]
In the remake, the background is lighter and is more pointed to a jade green.
Gold Moves[]
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine, all of which are the same:
All Gold Moves: Punch the air with your right hand four times successively.

Trivia[]
General[]
- In the preview gameplay, the song is mistakenly named Vampire Weekend (the performing band).
- "Look outside the rainbows gone" is misinterpreted as "Look outside at the raincoats coming".
Routine[]
- 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 those of Cotton Eye Joe and P1 of Somethin’ Stupid.
- However, an unused avatar for P2 has been proven to exist in the beta version of Just Dance 2014.
- Strangely, this beta avatar has purple hair and a purple hat.
- However, an unused avatar for P2 has been proven to exist in the beta version of Just Dance 2014.
- 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 are not frozen at the start of the routine; instead, they just look at each other before starting to dance.[2]
- The pictograms for the outdated remake are in the style of Just Dance 3, suggesting that the map was supposed to return to Just Dance 3 (as a downloadable track) or Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of.
- The coaches also look slightly different in the Mashup of Problem, where some of the unused updated pictograms are used as well.
- In the Xbox 360 DLC guide manual for Just Dance 4, a menu icon for A-Punk is seen. Curiously, it is not the one used in Just Dance 2, and it appears to be in the style of Just Dance 3, thus corroborating the theory that suggests the map might have been meant to reappear in that game. [3]
- In the remake, P2’s glove sometimes glitches to lime green.
