Trivia
General
- Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life is the fifth song in the series to be covered by Frankie Bostello.
- “Life’s a piece of s**t” is replaced with “Life can hurt a bit”.
- This line is left unchanged in international previews, due to the preview not playing the cover.
- This marks the fourth time a preview plays an original version instead of a cover, after Only You (And You Alone), Footloose, and Le Bal Masqué.
- The previews were later reuploaded on November 5, 2019, with the cover played.
- This line is left unchanged in international previews, due to the preview not playing the cover.
- The version used in-game is based off the version heard in Spamalot.
- The version released on the Just Dance 2020 soundtrack and Just Dance (Original Creations & Covers from the Video Game) use a slightly different version of the song: the 1st chorus adds a "You give it a try"[7] and "Life can hurt a bit" is replaced with "Life's a counterfeit"[8].
- Despite the song being from 1979 (and the cover being based on the 2004 version), the routine is featured in The Poppin’ 90s playlist.
- This could be because the second reissue of the song was released in 1991.
- The Video Gallery uses the version from Spamalot instead of the cover.[citation needed]
