Trivia
General
- Funkytown is the first of four songs in the Just Dance series that appeared in the soundtrack of Shrek 2. The second is Accidentally in Love (Just Dance Kids 2), the third is Livin’ la Vida Loca (Just Dance 4), and the fourth is Holding Out for a Hero (Just Dance 2015).
- In Just Dance Unlimited and later versions of Just Dance Now, the name of this track has been re-credited as Funky Town.
- The cover by Sweat Invaders has a different ending from the original.
- The cover’s instrumental was recycled from Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, however the vocals were altered in the game.[2]
Routine
- In the Just Dance 2 menu square, the coach’s mouth has a slightly different shape.
- When the dancer uses his tongue as a violin, it can actually be seen that, during the third repetition, his tongue comes out from the left side of his head and not from his mouth.
- In Just Dance 2 and Just Dance: Summer Party, whenever the dancer raises his arms or jumps, his hand or head get cut out.
- This was fixed in the remake.
- In Jamaican Dance (Mashup), three of the Gold Moves have been removed.
- The background appears in Rock Lobster.
- Some of the pictograms have names that reference Tom Sawyer.
- In Just Dance Now, the preview does not show the Gold Move effect during the Gold Move.
- A sticker of the song’s clouds can be unlocked in Just Dance 2020 by dancing to Rain Over Me (Extreme Version) three times.
