Soul Bossa Nova

"Soul Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones and His Orchestra was planned to be in Just Dance but was scrapped for unknown reasons.^[1] It was later featured on Just Dance 2, Just Dance Unlimited, and Just Dance Now.

Trivia

General

• Soul Bossa Nova is one of the few songs in the series whose short version does not start at the beginning of the song.
• In the Nintendo Switch notification for the event, the artist’s name is misspelled as "Quincy Jones & Gis Orchestra".^[2]

Classic

• In the Beta version, there were incorrect pictograms from I Want You Back; this was fixed in the final version.^[3]
  • These may have been used as placeholders during development.
• There is a photo that shows the cover of the game with the coaches in a different color scheme.
• This is one of the few routines in which all the dancers have the same glove color, which is fuchsia.
• In the preview video, there are completely different score tracks with different scores design. It is most likely an early Beta since there is "GREAT" (like in Just Dance) and there is a lack of Gold Moves.
  • These Beta elements can also be seen in the first trailer of the game.
• The background was different in its Beta stage.
• In the files, different 3D-style pictograms resemble Just Dance pictograms: this means that the pictograms from this game were not going to be radically different.
  • Besides, three other pictograms are not transparent.
    • One of the non-transparent pictograms is one of the different-styled ones. It is golden and glows, indicating that it is a beta Gold Move pictogram.
• In the menu icon, P2 wears an additional yellow glove on his left hand, and the background has four fuchsia spotlights that are not seen in the actual routine.
• In Just Dance 2, the coaches are stretched vertically and the background glitches a lot.
• The Just Dance Unlimited trailer for the Just Dance 2020 Celebration event has the pictograms mixed into one as if it were a Solo routine.
  • As a result, each pair of pictograms appears one above the other and stretched horizontally.
