Contents
Appearance of the Dancer
Original
The dancer is a man wearing a black and white hat, a pair of black-framed glasses, a tuxedo with a tie, black pants, and black shoes.
Remake
In the remake, his skin and outfit are more realistic, and he is given a faded pink outline. The black areas are a bit darker.
Background
Original
The background is a yellow-greenish wall with a black, thin formal border that is curved on the corners and has a small decoration consisting of swirls and concentric circles on the top. The corners of the screen fade to black, three faint spotlights shine behind the dancer, some very small particles shine and a dark green rectangle is placed at the bottom of the wall. The floor is mostly black and reflects the wall.
Remake
In the remake, the background is more greenish at the top and more yellowish at the bottom, 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.
As soon as the first chorus starts, some black dots with black sharp lines fly quickly to the right. The dots also get larger when "bird" is sung, and shrink when there are no lyrics.
During the surfing part, the dots move to the top of the screen; after that, they move to the left.
The background is initially black, and then it fades in slowly; at the end, it fades back to black.
Shake Moves
There is 1 Shake Move in this routine:
Shake Move: Bend over and then swing both of your hands in a circular movement while shaking your legs.
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).[2]
Routine
- Surfin’ Bird is one of three coaches that has only one base color (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.
- 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 the six dancers from the first Just Dance that have never been used 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.
- The routine uses moves from Peter Griffin’s dance in the Family Guy episode "I Dream of Jesus", where Peter can be found dancing to the song.
- 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.
- In the Beta version of the routine seen at PAX 2009, the background was pink instead of green-yellow.[3]
- As with the other remakes for maps from Just Dance, the remade coach has a heavy flickering effect.
- In the menu icon for the remake, the background is in shades of pink and purple; however, these colors are not present in the actual video file.
