## Background

### *Just Dance*

The background appears to be a purple wall with a lot of pink lines, and wires intersecting.

### *Just Dance 3*/*Just Dance: Greatest Hits* (Xbox)

In the Xbox 360 version, the background changes a lot, from the typical purple wall and pink lines to a sky blue wall and diagonal aqua lines falling and more.

### *Just Dance: Greatest Hits*/*Best Of* (Wii)

In the Wii version of *Just Dance: Greatest Hits*/*Best Of*, the lines are completely stationary, with faint streams of light flowing through them.

### Remake

In the remake, the background is more similar to the Wii versions of *Just Dance: Greatest Hits*/*Best Of*. The background is more zoomed out and forms with a weird, space-like noise; a similar noise is played at the end, when all the lines disappear quickly.

## Trivia

### General

* *Acceptable in the 80s* is the first song by Calvin Harris in the series.
	+ *Acceptable in the 80s* is the first of Calvin’s songs to not be put in consecutive games.
* The song is shortened by about 2 minutes in-game.
* Although the official song title is "Acceptable **i**n **t**he 80**’**s", *Just Dance* and *Just Dance: Greatest Hits*/*Best Of* spell it without the apostrophe, and *Just Dance Unlimited* and *Just Dance Now* it spells "in" and "the" with an uppercase capital letter.
	+ *Just Dance 3* is the only game that spells the title correctly.
* In *Just Dance Unlimited*, *Acceptable in the 80s* appears in the "Old But Gold 80s" playlist, even though the song was made in 2007.

### Routine

* *Acceptable in the 80s* is one of the only two routines in *Just Dance* to have both a difficulty and effort rating of 3. The other song is *Jerk It Out*.
	+ However, in the remake, its difficulty level was lowered to Easy, and its effort was lowered to Low.
* In the routine, the coach’s bow constantly glitches to white throughout the entire song.
* A score detection file is inappropriately named "acceptable\_boobs".
* The routine briefly appears in *Video Killed the Radio Star*.
* The dancer’s glove color is light blue but, in *Just Dance 3* and *Just Dance: Greatest Hits*/*Best O**f*, the arrows/props for the pictograms are dark green.
* On the *Just Dance 3* teaser on Ubisoft’s channel, the song appears as "Calvin Harris".
* On the PAL covers of *Just Dance: Greatest Hits* and *Just Dance: Best Of*, the dancer’s blouse is shown to have a glitter texture, although there is no glitter on it in the actual routine.
* *Acceptable in the 80s* can be found in the offline game files of the Wii version of *Just Dance 2016* and every following installment.
* In *Just Dance Unlimited*, through *Just Dance 2017*, *Acceptable in the 80s* appears in the *Just Dance 2* search section, rather than appearing in *Just Dance*’s.
