Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is Xooorgrott, a male, green, frog-like alien with small ears on each side, and hands with three fingers.
He is wearing a dark green suit with a Saturn logo, a white belt with a futurist ray weapon, a pink with white accents collar, and dark green boots. His glove is rose and dark green outline.
During the second chorus, he pulls out his long tongue from his mouth in order to mimic playing a string instrument by waving his free arm up and down in front of it.
Remake[]
In the remake, the color palette for Xooorgrott is now more saturated, and he looks more realistic. His glove is now red violet and now has orange outline.
Background[]
Original[]
The background appears to take place in an old film. There are UFOs flying around, as if there is an invasion going on, and one of the UFOs is shooting beams. Plus, there is a farm on the ground, and there are aliens that can be seen walking around the place. A cow is seen being abducted. In the beginning, the dancer gets lowered to the ground by the UFO beam and then elevates at the end of the choreography.
Remake[]
The colors for the background have been changed from black and white to sepia and the floor only reflects the coach.
Gold Moves[]
There are 4 Gold Moves in the routine, all of which are the same.
All Gold Moves: Flap your arms. All four moves are done consecutively during the chorus.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The cover used in-game has a different ending compared to the original song: instead of fading out while repeating "Won’t you take me down, to Funkytown", it ends by shortly repeating the instrumental section at the beginning.
- The cover’s instrumental was recycled from Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, however the vocals were altered in the game.[3]
- On Just Dance Unlimited and later versions of Just Dance Now, the song title is spelled as Funky Town.
Routine[]
- Some of the pictograms have names that reference Tom Sawyer.
- In the Just Dance 2 and Just Dance: Summer Party menu square, Xooorgrott’s mouth has a slightly different shape.
- On 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.
- However; it is counted as a Gold Move the fourth consecutive time the move is performed.
- The background appears in Rock Lobster.
- An unused pictogram can be found in the old Just Dance Now servers.
- In Just Dance Now, the preview does not show the Gold Move effect during the Gold Move.
- A sticker of the clouds in the background can be unlocked on Just Dance 2020 by dancing to Rain Over Me (Extreme Version) three times.
