Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is a male alien named Xooorgrott. He is a green, frog-like alien with a gaping frowning mouth, small pink ears on each side of his head, and hands with three fingers. He also has a tongue that he pulls out near the end of the routine, as well as another tongue on his left ear. He wears a dark green suit with white accents, a design of Saturn on it, and a pink collar with white spots on it. He also wears a white belt with a futuristic ray weapon and dark green boots. He wears a pink glove and has a dark green outline.
Remake[]
In the remake, his colour pallete is now more saturated, and he looks more realistic. His glove is now red violet and he also now has orange outline.
Background[]
Original[]
The routine takes place in a greyscale farm with a vintage movie effect layered on it. There are two UFOs and two clouds in the sky that are held up by wires. One of the UFOs is shooting a tractor beam with a cow floating around inside of it. Several aliens walk past Xooorgrott in the background. At the beginning of the routine, Xooorgrott appears descending from a tractor beam and at the end of the routine, he is beamed up again by the tractor beam.
Remake[]
In the remake, the background is now in a sepia tone and the animation for the aliens are more smoother.

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 is mirrored.
- 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.
