Trivia[]
General[]
- "F**k" is censored.
- "Jeans", "hell", and "But I’mma like what’s underneath them" are censored in Just Dance 2: Extra Songs. However, none of these words were censored in Just Dance 2, Just Dance: Summer Party, or in the remake.
- This is the first time in the series which a full line is censored.
- The lyrics do not display an ellipsis (...) for censored lyrics. When "hell" is censored, it is replaced with a gap.
- "Jeans", "hell", and "But I’mma like what’s underneath them" are censored in Just Dance 2: Extra Songs. However, none of these words were censored in Just Dance 2, Just Dance: Summer Party, or in the remake.
- The lyric "Ribena, I know what you’re drinkin’" is misinterpreted as "Rappin’/I know what you’re drinkin’".
- The line "I’ll show you to my brethren" is misinterpreted as "I’ll show you to my bedroom".
Routine[]
- In an early promotional picture, the pictograms from Chicken Payback are erroneously used.
- During production, both of the pictograms were purple and the meters were different.
- There is a glitch in the shop on Just Dance 2 involving American Boy: when choosing to download Firework, the short preview shows the routine for American Boy instead of the correct one.
- In the trailer for Just Dance: Summer Party/Extra Songs, the coach for Pump Up The Volume is shown dancing in front of the background for American Boy.
- The menu icon in Just Dance 2 and Just Dance: Summer Party/Extra Songs is mirrored, resulting in the coaches being in the opposite positions and their gloves being on the wrong hands. This is fixed in the remake.
