"Body Movin’ (Fatboy Slim Remix)" by Beastie Boys is featured on Just Dance 2 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is a woman with bluish-blackish curly hair. She wears a mint green and yellow headband on her head, a teal short sleeved shirt with a bluish black leotard, a yellow belt around the leotard, and dark blue and teal wristbands on her hands. She also wears bluish black socks with green tops and mint green sneakers with yellow laces. She wears a vivid yellow glove on her right hand.
Remake[]
In the remake, the dancer now has a purple outline and her hair and leotard are now dark violet. Her face is now less visible and she is also more realistic. Her glove is also now pure yellow.
Background[]
Original[]
The routine takes place in a gym with a red wall. There are three lockers on each side of the gym. In the centre of the wall is a sign showing the top half of muscled man flexing his arms with two tigers on each side of him, along with two lightning bolts emerging from the bottom. The sign reads "Body Movin'" in mint green. Below the sign is a bar. There is a barbell lying on the floor next to the lockers on the left side. The dancer is standing on a mint green yoga mat with two radios behind her. The radios have sketchy white outlines that flash to the beat of the song and also release sound waves to the beat throughout the song. The sign also lights up to the beat and, in the middle of the first chorus, the arms on the man begin moving to the beat. At the beginning and end of the routine, the dancer appears and disappears flashing in multiple colours. At various points during the routine, the dancer flashes into different colours.
Just Dance: Greatest Hits (Wii)[]
In the Wii version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the background is similar to the one in Just Dance 2, except that the yoga mat is slightly bigger and the bar now also gains a sketchy white outline that flashes to the beat.
Just Dance: Greatest Hits (Xbox 360)[]
In the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the lockers now have sketchy white outlines and emits light to the beat. The sign now only lights up when the lyric "Body movin'" is sung; it also vibrates and the wall lights up. Additionally, the radio no longer releases sound waves; the outlines on the radio's speakers now move forward to the beat.
Remake[]
In the remake, the bar and lockers keep their sketchy white outlines, but they no longer flash to the beat. The lightning bolts on the sign now flash to the beat. Additionally, during the choruses, mint green light appears on the lockers, acting like an equalizer. The dancer no longer flashes in multiple colours. At the beginning of the routine, the dancers appears via a line effect and is coloured green before returning to her normal colour. This same effect is applied to her at the end of the routine, where she first turns green before disappearing via a line effect.
Gold Moves[]
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Moves 1 and 4: Bend down to the left with your left leg bent and move your arms up and down quickly as if you were spinning a record.
Gold Move 2: Bend down, stomp your left leg, and point to the screen with both of your hands as if you were saying stop.
Gold Move 3 (Just Dance 2): Put both of your hands up and stomp your left leg.
Gold Move 3 (Remake): Stomp your left leg, put your right arm up, and put your right arm near your chin.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Body Movin’ (Fatboy Slim Remix) and Sympathy For The Devil (Fatboy Slim Remix) mark Fatboy Slim’s second and third appearance in the series.
- The original version is a minute longer than the version used in-game.
- A clean version of the song, which replaces the line "Ooh, goddamn!" with "Ooh, excuse me!", is used in-game.
- In the remake, the artists are credited as "The Beastie Boys".[2]
- In the lyrics for the remake, "A1 sound" appears as "A one sound", and the last time the word "Body" is repeated, it gets highlighted and remains for some seconds instead of immediately fading away and being replaced by a repetition.[3]
Routine[]
- In the remake, Gold Move 3 consists of a totally different move. This marks the first time in the history of Just Dance in which a choreography is partially changed in later appearances.
- Additionally, in the remake, the coach performs some moves a bit differently compared to the Just Dance 2 version of the routine. This happens because the remake uses a second take of the routine that is only seen towards the end in Just Dance 2 (where a glitchy transition can be noticed in that part).
- On the menu icons of Just Dance 2 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits and in the coach selection screen of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the coach is missing her glove.
- This has been fixed in the remake.
- The routine is likely inspired by the music video for Call on Me.
- The pictograms have golden arrows, although the coach’s glove is in a lighter shade of yellow. Unlike with other routines from Just Dance 2 and Just Dance 3, this is not fixed in the remake, and even the arrows for the remade pictograms are in a similar color to those of the old ones.
- The dancer reappears as P1 in Hungarian Dance No. 5, where she has a different color scheme.
- The dancer is frozen at the end in Just Dance 2. This does not happen in the remake, where she can be seen putting her leg down as she disappears.
- In the old Just Dance Now servers, there is an asset bundle with early menu assets where the coach has visible facial features.[4] These have been ultimately edited to make her facial features less visible.
- In the Just Dance Now pictograms sprite, it can be seen that the renewed version of Gold Move 3 was not meant to be a Gold Move at first.
- Besides, on one pictogram from Just Dance 2, the outline has been cut out roughly, and two shake emblems have been added.
- In the remake, a part of the coach’s right foot gets cut out while she performs the split at the end.
- This likely happens due to the coach being resized so that she does not overlap the feedback icons on Just Dance Now and later games, as they are placed at the top of the screen rather than on its sides.
- In the Mashup of This Is How We Do, the remade coach has a slight blue tint to her color scheme and she has a bright cyan outline instead of a thin purple one; both of these details are not seen in the remake.
