"Acceptable in the 80s" by Calvin Harris is featured on Just Dance, Just Dance 3 (as a DLC on Xbox 360), Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, Just Dance Unlimited, and Just Dance Now.
Appearance of the Dancer
The dancer is a woman with neon green curly hair with a small light blue bow. She is wearing large turquoise glasses, large blue earrings, a pair of turquoise fingerless gloves, a dark lime green loose off shoulder top, two white belts, dark green calf-length leggings, leg warmers, and peep toe heels. In every game after Just Dance, she has a slightly lighter color scheme. The dancer's outline is a light shade of blue.
Background
Just Dance
The background appears to be a purple wall with a lot of pink lines, and wires intersecting.
Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits (Xbox)
In the Xbox 360 version, the background changes a lot, from the typical purple wall and pink lines to a sky blue wall and diagonal aqua lines falling and more.
Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of (Wii)
In the Wii version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, the lines are completely stationary, with faint streams of light flowing through them.
Remake
In the remake, the background is more similar to the Wii versions of Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of. The background is more zoomed out and forms with a weird, space-like noise; a similar noise is played at the end, when all the lines disappear quickly.
Gold Moves
From Just Dance 3 onward, there are 4 Gold Moves in this routine, all of which are the same:
All Gold Moves: Point forward with your right arm, one arm at a time, and with your left hand on your head.

Trivia
General
- Acceptable in the 80s is the first song by Calvin Harris in the series.
- Acceptable in the 80s is the first of Calvin’s songs to not be put in consecutive games.
- The song is shortened by about 2 minutes in-game.
- Although the official song title is "Acceptable in the 80’s", Just Dance and Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of spell it without the apostrophe, and Just Dance Unlimited and Just Dance Now spell "in" and "the" with an uppercase capital letter.
- Just Dance 3 is the only game that spells the title correctly.
- In Just Dance Unlimited, Acceptable in the 80s appears in the "Old But Gold 80s" playlist, even though the song was made in 2007.
Classic
- Acceptable in the 80s is one of the only two routines in Just Dance to have both a difficulty and effort rating of 3. The other song is Jerk It Out.
- However, in the remake, its difficulty level was lowered to Easy, and its effort was lowered to Low.
- In the routine, the coach’s bow constantly glitches to white throughout the entire song.
- A score detection file is inappropriately named "acceptable_boobs".
- The routine briefly appears in Video Killed the Radio Star.
- The dancer’s glove color is light blue but, in Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, the arrows/props for the pictograms are dark green.
- On the Just Dance 3 teaser on Ubisoft’s channel, the song appears as "Calvin Harris".[2]
- On the PAL covers of Just Dance: Greatest Hits and Just Dance: Best Of, the dancer’s blouse is shown to have a glitter texture, although there is no glitter on it in the actual routine.
- Acceptable in the 80s can be found in the offline game files of the Wii version of Just Dance 2016 and every following installment.
- In Just Dance Unlimited, through Just Dance 2017, Acceptable in the 80s appears in the Just Dance 2 search section, rather than appearing in Just Dance’s.
