"Surfin’ Bird" by The Trashmen is featured on Just Dance.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is a man dressed in a formal outfit. He wears a black and white fedora, a pair of black-framed glasses, a black tuxedo with a matching tie, a white shirt underneath, black pants, and black shoes.
Remake[]
In the remake, his skin and outfit are more realistic and he now has a faded pink outline. The black parts of his outfit are also a bit darker.
Background[]
Original[]
The routine takes place in a room with a yellow-greenish wall with a black, thin formal border that is curved on the corners and a small decoration consisting of swirls, and concentric circles in the center. Three faint red spotlights shine behind the dancer and occasionally appear and disappear. The wall has a grain effect.
Remake[]
In the remake, the wall is now a hot pink-like color, the border is bigger and fainter, the shading on the corners of the screen is less heavy, and the floor is also lighter. The spotlights are replaced by faint rectangles and lines.
When the first chorus starts, some black dots with black sharp lines trailing behind them fly quickly to the right. The dots also get larger when "bird" is sung, and shrink when there are no lyrics. During the break, the dots move up the top of the screen. After that, during the rest of the routine, they move to the left side of the screen.
Shake Moves[]
There is 1 Shake Move in this routine:
Shake Move: Bend over and swing both of your hands in a circular movement while shaking your legs and slowly lowering to the ground.
Trivia[]
General[]
- At 2:02, Surfin’ Bird is the shortest song in Just Dance.
- In the Italian Amazon page for Just Dance, the band is referred to as "Trashmen" (without the article).[3]
Routine[]
- Surfin’ Bird is one of three coaches whose color scheme consists of only one base color (in this case, black), along with Girls Just Want to Have Fun (pink) and Womanizer (cyan).
- However, the remake gives the coach a pink outline, thus giving him three colors instead of two (including white).
- The Shake Move for Surfin’ Bird lasts for the second longest period of time as compared to every other Shake Move, being beaten by Jin Go Lo Ba.
- Surfin' Bird is one of six routines from the first Just Dance that have never been featured in Puppet/Party Master Modes or Mashups. The others are Bebe, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Groove Is In The Heart, Lump, and Womanizer.
- Surfin’ Bird is also the only male coach to never be used in any of these.
- The routine uses some of the moves from Peter Griffin’s dance in the Family Guy episode "I Dream of Jesus", where the song itself is played.
- In promotional material for Just Dance, the routine has a different background, which consists of a pixelated black, wide ongoing road.
- An unused version of the menu square, which replaces the actual background with a purple horizontal gradient, can be found in the Just Dance files.
- When the remake first appeared in the Just Dance Now files, the wall was green-yellow just like the background in Just Dance. As of an unknown date, the wall was changed to be hot pink.
- In the beta version of the routine seen at PAX 2009, the background was pink instead of green-yellow.[4]
- This variant of the background was reused for the updated remake found in the archives of Just Dance.
- As with the other remakes for maps from Just Dance, the remade coach has a heavy flickering effect.
- Sometimes, the coach’s shirt glitches black.
