"Down By The Riverside" by The Reverend Horatio Duncan and Amos Sweets was featured as a downloadable track on Just Dance 2 and Just Dance 3 but became unavailable for purchase following the shutdown of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019, and the delisting of most Just Dance 3 DLCs from the Xbox 360 Marketplace on August 20, 2023.
The song remains playable on Just Dance: Summer Party, Just Dance: Best Of, Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, 舞力无限, and Just Dance+. It was also planned to be on Just Dance: Greatest Hits, but was scrapped for unknown reasons. It was also featured on 舞力全开：活力派 before the shutdown of the game.

General[]
- At 1 minute and 55 seconds, Down By The Riverside holds the record for being the fifth shortest song in Just Dance history, as well as the first song in the series to be under two minutes.
- Down By The Riverside is also the shortest song on Just Dance 2.
- Being released in 1918, Down By The Riverside is the oldest track on Just Dance 2 and the oldest downloadable track.

Routine[]
- In the Just Dance Now files, there is a pictogram that has oddly not been recolored.
- Two other Beta pictograms, which are recolored like the other ones, can be seen as well.
- In Just Dance 2016 and Just Dance 2018’s Just Dance Unlimited, the title is spelled as Down By The RiverSide.
