==Trivia==
===General===
*Y.M.C.A. is the first song by Village People in the series.
*In the thumbnail and video title for the US preview gameplay, the title is spelled as "YMCA", without the periods.
*The song was mentioned in the files for .https://youtu.be/ZlxNK0djhWc?t=113 (dead link)
===Classic===
*Y.M.C.A. is the first song to have a Dance Crew with previous dancers from the series, with the second being Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).
*Each coach has his own avatar in . However:
**Rasputin is unlocked by paying 5 Mojo Coins.
**Moves Like Jagger is only unlockable in June with Y.M.C.A. (Mashup).
**Viva Las Vegas is only unlockable in May with Troublemaker (Mashup).
**DARE is unlocked when one reaches level 400 on the World Dance Floor.
***Thus, only one of the dancers’ avatars is actually available with the song, whereas the others have to be accessed through other means.
*When the first preview for this routine was uploaded, the pictograms were not synced with the routine. This was later fixed, and the video was re-uploaded.
*One dancer is directly recycled from Moves Like Jagger, while the rest of the dancers are also recycled but were recolored and edited to fit the new style.
*It is also the only coach that isn't originally performed by Jérémy Paquet.
*The dancers do the actual dance for this song, making the letters Y, M, C, and A with their arms.
*At the second and third verses of the song, each dancer does an updated version of their main move from each of their original songs.
*This is also the case with the Gold Move.
*The pictogram color for Viva Las Vegas and Rasputin are different from their original colors; since the Moves Like Jagger dancer also has a red pictogram, the pictograms for Viva Las Vegas are made to appear more yellow than red, and Rasputin looks more pink than green in the updated version.
*One song from each game before is represented within this routine, if Rasputin is taken as Hungarian Dance No. 5.
**This is similar to , although none of the reappearing dancers are playable characters and more than one from each game besides the original game appear.
*On , the menu icon has a light blue-green background instead of the correct one.
**If the menu icon is searched through the game archives, however, the original one will be found instead.
*Three unused pictograms can be found in the outdated archives.
**The first one can be seen in a promotional gameplay.
*The description of Rasputin’s avatar in mentions the coach having taken part of a boy band in the past, which is likely a reference to this routine.
===Mashup===
*Y.M.C.A. is the first non-solo routine that has a solo Mashup with its own dancers appearing. It is followed by Dark Horse.
*Y.M.C.A is the fourth Mashup to feature only one female coach, after Maneater, Love Boat, and Troublemaker.
**It is also the fifth if the scrapped Mashup for Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) is counted. 
*All of the song’s coaches appear in the Mashup besides P3 (Viva Las Vegas).
*P2’s avatar can be unlocked by achieving Level 1000 on the World Dance Floor in .
**Also, the avatar seems different - his neck is now visible below his head in the avatar.
*Some pictograms for Dare are updated in the Mashup.
