The song also has an alternate version titled "Aerobics Version".
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The coach is a claymation young girl named Lizzy Frankenstein, simply referred to as Lizzy in-game. She is dressed in emo fashion. She has blue hair with black mascara and lipstick. There are freckles below her eyes and across the bridge of her nose. She wears a black tank top with a skull on it and purple cargo shorts. She also wears purple long socks and black combat boots. Her glove is pink, long and fingerless.
Background[]
The routine starts in an Halloween themed house owned by the Frankenstein family (read locations below). Before the routine, Lizzy rolls a cart of a Jack-o'-lantern into the living room. It then shows her TV with a game map with a 100% sweets level called "FAMILIES WHO NEEDS SWEETS" that suddenly glitches, with it now showing the same game map and level with four different locations from left to right: House of Werewolf, House of Dracula, the Frankenstein Family house (start of the song, interior) and House of Ghosts, all at 0% sweets level. Throughout the song, a character will pop up to sing the baritone "Born to Be Alive" lyric every time is is said.
Lizzy hits a lever after bringing a child-sized voodoo doll to life to bring it down from above. The voodoo doll tries to follow along Lizzy, only to crash into stuff after a bat flies in its view off-screen. The routine then cuts to the map on the TV as Lizzy moves to House of Ghost.
At the House of Ghosts, it shows Lizzy in a graveyard where a bunch of ghosts fly around while being fed candy and turned into different colors. A bunch of zombie hands pop out from the ground and are given candies as well, with the ghosts dancing in the night sky. After Lizzy and her voodoo doll leave, they head to House of Dracula.
When entering House of Dracula, Lizzy and the voodoo doll are in the archway upside down. After being right side up, Dracula and the voodoo doll appear beside the Lizzy. Photos of Dracula are on the walls archway. The voodoo doll reappears when Lizzy is on the stairs. Dracula dances with both of them, and does other things like watering a coffin planter that grows pumpkins. Throughout the routine, the voodoo doll brings the Jack-o'-lantern candy bucket with them and feeds them to various bats flying around. During this part, the lights change colors to create a strobe effect as well while a garlic string and bat-shaped daisy chains decorate the house.
After that, she leaves to go the House of Werewolf, which is a cave daycare known as "Werewolf Kindergarten". In it, there is a werewolf looking after a bunch of baby lambs. The voodoo doll feeds candy to the lambs which causes their wool to change colors. After she leaves, she heads back to her house, (a.k.a. the Frankenstein Family house), where all the monsters she met start dancing with her for the final chorus. After the song is nearly over, Lizzy grows tired and decides to head to bed. As the monsters leave, she falls on top of her bed with the voodoo doll fast asleep as one of the ghosts turns itself into a tangible blanket to cover them up, ending the song right there.
