"Funhouse" by P!nk was featured as a downloadable track on Just Dance 4, but has since become unavailable for purchase following the delisting of Just Dance 4 DLCs from various online stores, as well as the shutdowns of said platforms. It was also a downloadable track for Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015 on the Xbox 360 Marketplace and 8th-gen consoles before the shutdown in 2024. It remains available as a DLC on the Xbox One version of Just Dance 2014, and it is also featured on Just Dance+.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The dancer is Folie. She is a woman dressed as a clown with cyan hair and smudged eye shadow. She wears a small black top hat on the left side of her head, a red cuff around her neck, a shiny gold top, a white girdle with black stripes, a red and gold tutu, black and white pantyhose with stripes on the left, diamond shapes on the right, a pair of black ankle boots, and a cyan elbow-length glove.
Background[]
The background takes place on The Mind-Blowing Stage, it starts in a dark tent. The floor looks like a stage with a sun design. When the song starts, the curtain opens, and a theme park is behind it with a ferris wheel and fireworks. There is also a ring with a sun design at the right, and a base where animals would sit on the left. At the upper left, a sun-styled spotlight is there and the north a somewhat door design.
At the chorus, the curtain closes and the ring flames up while spotlights turn on and off. The sun spotlight goes on until the end of the chorus, and the door design flashes. When "I'm gonna burn it down, down, down," is sung, three spotlights shine above the dancer at the same time.
The background keeps the same routine until after the second chorus. The ring's flames go off, the three spotlights from the same line ( "I'm gonna burn it down, down, down,"), and the dancer has a glowing white outline while the dancer darkens at the same time the floor design disappears. After that, the chorus stays its routine.
Just Dance 2014/2015/+[]
From now on, when "Burn this sucker down" is sung or during the Gold Move 3, flames appear from behind the dancer.
Gold Moves[]
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Move 1 and 2: Throw your hands up while kneeling down on the floor.
Gold Move 3: Hit the floor with your right hand while kneeling.
Gold Move 4: Similar to Gold Moves 1 and 2, but standing.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Funhouse is the second song by P!nk in the series.
- The clean version of the song is used in-game, in which "f**ker" is replaced with "sucker".
- In Just Dance 2015, the first line of the song appears before it is sung; then, it disappears for a while and reappears again.[1]
- The line "My key don't fit my lock no more" is misinterpreted as "My key don't fit my life no more".
- Funhouse, along with Gangnam Style, Die Young, and Professor Pumplestickle are the only four songs to appear in three games as Downloadable Content.
Routine[]
- Funhouse is the third Solo routine that has two avatars instead of one, after Roar and Song 2. In Just Dance 2014, the first one can be purchased for 5 Mojocoins, and the second one can be purchased along with the map itself; however, as opposed to Roar and Song 2, the two avatars of Funhouse are almost identical, with the only difference being the hairstyle: in fact, the second avatar has messier hair and a more glittery hat.
- If We Can’t Stop had not been removed from the Just Dance 2014 shop, Funhouse would have been the fourth Solo map with more than one avatar.
- Among all pre-Just Dance 2016 maps that returned to Just Dance+ without returning to Just Dance Now or Just Dance Unlimited first, Funhouse, One Thing, Papaoutai, and The Lazy Song were the first four to do so outside of a season.
- Folie's top hat is very glitchy, especially the top of it, as it constantly clips from black to white.
- In the Just Dance 4 preview gameplay, two pictograms appear late.
- In a Behind the Scenes video of Just Dance 4, Folie is described as a "crazy ballerina".[citation needed]
- In Funhouse’s appearances after Just Dance 4, distorted circus/funfair music is heard before the song plays; besides, when "Burn this sucker down" is sung, flames rise in the background.
- On Just Dance 2014, if the player pauses the game at the end of the routine, Never Gonna Give You Up’s background will appear briefly when the game is resumed before commencing the score screen.
- This also happens with My Main Girl.
- In the Just Dance 2014 preview, the animation of the feedback is glitchy and the star bar remains empty.
- The background has flames during the Gold Move 3, this doesn't happen in Just Dance 4.
- In Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015 Mashups, when Folie performs the moves in the bridge, she is missing the shadow she has in the actual routine.
- As with Moves Like Jagger, the avatar that comes with the purchase of Funhouse in Just Dance 2014 is unavailable in Just Dance 2015.
- The stockings worn by the dancer are later reused in A Queda.
- In American YouTuber Littlesiha’s Lore Week, made in collaboration with official lore guardian Aurore, it was revealed that Folie decided to wear Iluquim’s stockings as an homage to them, as she was inspired by their show.[2]
- In Just Dance+, the map background features one part of the background that has been mirrored to the right side.
