"We No Speak Americano" by Yolanda Be Cool featuring DCUP (covered by Hit The Electro Beat in-game) is featured on Just Dance 4, as well as in Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, and 舞力无限.
Prior to the song’s debut on Just Dance 4, We No Speak Americano was originally planned to appear on Just Dance 3 as a downloadable track, but it was ultimately left out of the final game.
The song also has a Fanmade Version on Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited.
Appearance of the Dancer
Just Dance 3
The dancer is a man with dark reddish-brown hair and he is wearing black solid sunglasses and has a short horseshoe mustache. He wears a light orange blazer over a pink shirt and wears dark red slacks and white shoes with red accents. His glove is red.
Just Dance 4
The dancer is a man with short red hair and a mustache. He wears sunglasses and a tuxedo, which changes colors accordingly. In the beginning, during the first gold move, and the end of the routine, his hair and blazer are red, his tie and pants are pale red, and his shirt, shoes, and glasses are light blue. During the chorus, his outfit changes into a blue and neon pink form and his short hair turns neon pink. He has a sky blue outline.
Background
Just Dance 3
Based on the leaked preview, the background has a dark blue floor, a watery fountain, a lime-green motorbike, and big buildings.
Just Dance 4
It is a modern daytime background which the dancer arrives on a motorcycle. Behind is a large beige fountain and Venice styled buildings. During the chorus, this changes to a black backdrop with purple and blue outlines of the fountain and motorcycle. The gushing water from the fountain flashes blue and purple. At the first gold move and near the end of the song, the background returns to its original state.
Gold Moves
There are 3 Gold Moves in this routine, all of which are the same:
All Gold Moves: Open your arms straightly outward.

Trivia
General
- We No Speak Americano is the first song in the series to be covered by Hit The Electro Beat.
- Originally released in 2010, We No Speak Americano is the first song from the 2010s to be covered in-game.
- It is the fourth most recently released song in the Just Dance series to be covered, being defeated by Boss Witch, which was released in 2020, Mi Mi Mi, which was released in 2013, and Till The World Ends, which was released in 2011.
- Coincidentally, both Mi Mi Mi and We No Speak Americano are covered by Hit the Electro Beat.
- We No Speak Americano is the second most recent song to be covered in relation to the game’s release, as the cover came two years after the original, whereas the cover for Boss Witch came out one year after the original.
- We No Speak Americano is the first song in the series to be performed in a local dialect (in this case, Neapolitan Italian).
- We No Speak Americano is the second song whose Alternate routine is not in the same game as its Classic counterpart, following Blurred Lines.
- The song’s cover is likely based on the original edit version of the song.
- In Just Dance Now, for a period of time, the Classic routine was mistakenly placed in the Duets section, and the Fanmade routine was only available through the "All Songs" section.
- As of September 14, 2015, both issues have been fixed.
- On a promotional image for Just Dance Unlimited that shows a part of the tracklist, Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP (the original artists) are credited instead of Hit The Electro Beat.[1]
Classic
Just Dance 4
- A picture of the routine can be seen in Want U Back.
- The dark background of the routine only has the colors which appear on the coach’s second color scheme.
- In the menu assets, the coach’s glove is light purple, but it is only that color when his outfit is red. When the outfit is pink, the glove color is actually light green in-game.
- In Tribal Dance’s Mashup, the glove is purple even though the coach is in his C2 form.
- Five pictograms are bright purple instead of fuchsia.
- The coach has a mustache, but his avatar does not.
- C1’s color scheme is used for his avatar.
- In the Just Dance Now files of Maneater, a Beta pictogram from its sprite resembles one of the pictograms from We No Speak Americano.
- The Just Dance Now cover of We No Speak Americano has been changed as of an unknown date, as both the background and the coach are more zoomed in.
- The routine was the subject of a "cosplay on a budget" video posted to Just Dance’s official Bilibili account in November 2021.[2]
Just Dance 3
- The routine initially had a different background, routine, and dancer.
- The preview was found in the Wii Shop servers of Just Dance 3, suggesting it was planned to be in the game as DLC at some point.
Mashup
- Diggin’ in the Dirt uses Beta pictograms.
Puppet Master Mode
- In the Puppet Master mode, after Jerk It Out makes his "When you jerk it out" pose, he is constantly reversed back and forth, so that he looks like he is standing still.
- Skin-To-Skin does not turn yellow after performing his ending pose and remains on-screen longer than in the original routine.
