Trivia
- The version of the song used in-game was re-recorded by The Sugarhill Gang, which can be found on iTunes.
- This makes it the second re-recorded song to appear in the series after Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of Monika).
- Monster Mash was mentioned in the lyrics of the song.
- However, Ubisoft removed that part to save time.
- The line But I'll be brief is misinterpreted as But I'll be real. This mistake is fixed in the remake.
- In the gameplay from dash.justdancenow.com, the Gold Move effect from Just Dance 2017 is used. This is also the case of It's You’s Sweat Version.
- In Just Dance 3, the pictograms have pine green arrows although the coach's glove is lime green.
- Some of the moves in the chorus are taken from the dance routine of the song in the talent show scene from Season 6 Episode 8 of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.
- Incidentally, the same dance moves would later be used as a dancing emote in Destiny and as the same dancing emote by Kayle and Singed from League Of Legends.
