Trivia[]
General[]
- A slightly shortened version of the single version is used in-game, which removes the intro and outro from the version on the Too-Rye-Ay album.
- Come On Eileen is the only song to be released on the same date on two different games; the song was released on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, in 2011 in Just Dance 2 and eleven years later on the same date in Just Dance Unlimited.
- Come On Eileen is one of the five downloadable or exclusive maps in Just Dance 2 that did not appear in Just Dance: Summer Party, along with Crazy Christmas, It’s Not Unusual, Should I Stay Or Should I Go and Spice Up Your Life.
Routine[]
- In the score screen, the tree on the left of the background overlaps the score bar.
- In the remake, the pictogram for Gold Move 4 tells P2 to spin clockwise like P1, but he actually spun counter clockwise.
- In a promotional gameplay picture, the rainbow is seen to be not as pixelated.
- In the trailer for Season 1: Astral, the tarot cards dub both coaches as "The Star".
- In the Just Dance Now preview and on the ChromeCast version of the game, the pictograms are completely absent, however, the Pictogram bar is always visible and blinks to the BPM.
- In the Just Dance Unlimited preview, the frame rate has been dropped to 15 FPS.
- Additionally, the pictograms have default colors, and some of them are different from the final version.
- Two pictograms’ filenames for the remake reference John Travolta.[3]
- The routine can be spotted in the background of Can’t Stop the Feeling! (Danceverse Prince Version).
- This is the first multiplayer routine where the pictograms are different shades of the same color. It is followed by Turn Up the Love (Sumo Version), No Control, This Is How We Do, and Save Your Tears (Remix).
