It was also planned to be featured on *Just Dance: Greatest Hits* and *Just Dance: Best Of*, but was scrapped for unknown reasons. The song can also be found in the *Just Dance Unlimited* files.[2]

## Appearance of the Dancer

## Trivia

### General

* *Louie Louie* itself is not the original version. It is instead a cover of an older version by Richard Berry.
* In *Just Dance*, the line "I think about the meaning of my life again" is split up as "I think about/The meaning of my life again"; in *Just Dance 3*, instead, it is split up as "I think about the meaning/Of my life again".
	+ In addition, the T for "the" is accidentally in uppercase in the latter game.
* In *Just Dance 3*, the apostrophes in "But I’m as bent" and "I’m tryin’ to do it right but" are incorrectly separated from the I, thus displaying the lines as "But I ’m as bent" and "I’m tryin’ to do it right but".
	+ In addition, "tryin’" lacks its apostrophe.
* In *Just Dance 3*, "Alright" is misspelled as "A**ll**right".

### Routine

* *Louie Louie*, *Eye of the Tiger*, and *Who Let the Dogs Out?* are the only routines to have Shake Moves that are different from each other.
* *Louie Louie* has the closest appearance of a Shake Move in *Just Dance* (just ten seconds after the start).
* There is a glitch in the *Just Dance* version: at the end, the dancer reappears in the start position for a while, but he immediately gets covered by the scoring display.
* The pictogram for **Shake Moves 2, 3, and 4** is near identical to the pictogram for *Lump*’s **Shake Move**, in both shape and color.
* The coach appears in *Video Killed the Radio Star*.
* On the *Just Dance 3* version and the remake, the intro (which contains a male voice saying "And now, the news") is covered by a buzzing sound.
* In *Just Dance 3*, **Gold Move 3** has a glitch where the "YEAH!" feedback icon would not be displayed even if the move was performed correctly, and only the sound effect can be heard.
* On Twitter, *Just Dance* ran a poll asking which song should be the last from Season 2 on ​*Just Dance Unlimited* and the options were this song and *Forget You*. Since *Forget You* won, *Louie Louie* was not added to *Just Dance Unlimited* as part of Season 2.[3][4]
* A placeholder menu banner can be found in the *Just Dance Unlimited* servers.[2]
