"U Can’t Touch This" by MC Hammer (covered by Groove Century on Just Dance 3 onwards) is featured on Just Dance, Just Dance Wii, Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, 舞力无限, and Just Dance+. It was featured on Just Dance 3 as a downloadable track, but became unavailable for purchase following the shutdown of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019, and the removal of most DLCs from the Xbox 360 Marketplace on August 20, 2023.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is a man with short red hair wearing an outfit inspired by MC Hammer's appearance in the music video for the song. He wears a red vest with four white buttons and a blue long sleeved shirt underneath, dark blue baggy pants, and red shoes. He also wears a pair of red, rectangular sunglasses, and a red bracelet on his right wrist.
Just Dance Wii/Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of[]
In the Just Dance Wii, Just Dance 3, and Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of versions, he now has a red outline.
Remake[]
In the remake, he is in a brighter hue and his hair and glasses are more pink.
Background[]
Just Dance[]
The routine takes place in a room with a red wall. On the wall, there is a white-colored graffiti of a scribble, two dark red drawings of a bus, and a dark red splatter. There are also various dark vinyl records that pop in and out in the center of the background throughout the song. The floor is dark red.
Just Dance Wii[]
On Just Dance Wii, the graffiti is now purple and there are pink lights on the floor that appear and reappear throughout the routine. The wall is also lighter.
Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of (Wii)[]
In the Wii versions of Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, the background is similar to the one in Just Dance, except there are now pink lights on the bottom of the wall that flash occasionally during the routine. At the beginning of the routine, some clapping and audience cheering is heard along with a male voice speaking, and at the end, an audience cheering is heard.
Just Dance 3 (Xbox 360)[]
In the Xbox 360 versions of Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the routine now takes place in an alleyway. There is a black ladder on the right. The graffiti has been changed to read "Just Dance". There are now three black records with a purple centre - one on the left and two on the top right corner - that pulse to the beat. During the post-choruses, the alley darkens and four blue and white spotlights move around the wall. There are also some scattered tiles on the floor.
Just Dance: Greatest Hits (Xbox 360)[]
In the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the background is similar to the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3, except that the words "CAN'T TOUCH THIS" appear one-by-one on the wall when sung before disappearing and there is a visualizer on the floor that disappears during the post-choruses.
Remake[]
In the remake, the background is based on the Wii version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, except that it is more zoomed out.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Starting with the Wii version of Just Dance 3, U Can’t Touch This is covered by Groove Century instead. This makes it the third song by Groove Century in the series.
- The version used in-game removes the final verse, final chorus, and outro, cutting right after the third time the lyric "Stop! Hammer time" is sung.
- In the Italian Amazon page for Just Dance, the title is misspelled as "You can’t touch this".[3]
- This also happens in the Just Dance: Best Of preview gameplay, albeit with the correct capitalization.
- “And this is a beat/U can’t touch” is misinterpreted as “And this is a beat/U can’t touch this”.
- This was fixed in the remake.
- In the remake, the line "What’s it going to take in the 90s to burn the charts?" is misinterpreted in the lyrics as "What is it going to take and now it’s gonna burn the charts", and "wipe" in the line "Singers are sweating, so pass them a wipe" is misinterpreted in the lyrics as "mic".
Routine[]
- On the menu icon, the coach’s hair is in a different style. This was not fixed until the remake.
- In a talent search titled "Just Dance - Rabbids’ application to the Contest", published on YouTube by Just Dance UK, Rabbids invade the dance, knocking over the points score chart, and removing the dancer from the screen. At the end of the video, the phrase "Anyone can be the new star of Just Dance - Except the Rabbids" appears.
- In the coach selection screen on the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the coach is flipped.
- In Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2016 Mashups and Party Master Modes, as well as in the remake, the pictograms are blue with red arrows instead of red with pink arrows, and the Gold Move pictogram has a glowing outline.
- A caption for U Can’t Touch This is called "Hammer Time", in reference to the lyrics.
- There is an error in the Gold Move pictogram. It instructs the player to put their left arm on their hip and put their left hand in front of them, even though the coach does not put his left hand on his hip.
- In the remake, all pictograms and the Gold Move effects are half a beat late compared to earlier appearances.
- In the Just Dance Now menu, U Can’t Touch This was mistakenly placed between Can’t Take My Eyes Off You and Cercavo Amore, probably because its codename in the files is "CantTouchThis". This was later fixed.
- Along with Hot Stuff and TiK ToK, U Can’t Touch This was temporarily removed from Just Dance Now on March 26, 2015. They were restored later in the same day.
- A large vertical white bar can be seen on the left side of the Bilibili thumbnail.
