"Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners (credited as Dexy’s Midnight Runners in-game) was featured on Just Dance 2 as a downloadable track until the Wii Shop Channel shut down on January 30, 2019. It was also planned to be on Just Dance: Summer Party, but was scrapped for unknown reasons.[1] The song is featured on Just Dance Unlimited and 舞力无限. The song was also featured on Just Dance Now, but was removed.[2]

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, the pictograms are completely absent.
- 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]
