1[[AC:''Just Dance'']]
2* [[{{Music/Gorillaz}} DARE]]: The dancer wears a football helmet similar to the one Noodle wears in the offical video. Not to mention the [[Music/MichaelJackson Moonwalk]] at the end (Not in the video itself but hmmm...).
3* [[Music/MCHammer U Can't Touch This]]: One long homage to the original video and Hammer in general, not the least of with is the dancer looking like him (including parachute pants!).
4* Surfin' Bird: The dancer's moves are similar to the ones Peter Griffin performs in the WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy episode [[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E2IDreamOfJesus I Dream of Jesus]]
5
6[[AC:''Just Dance 2'']]
7* It's Not Unusual: The routine is largely based on Tom Jones' style of dancing, including the now-famous "Carlton Dance" from ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''.
8* Jump: Kris Kross will commence to make ya.[[hottip:*:Actually it's a cover by Studio Allstars, but that couldn't be further than the truth.]]
9* [[Film/{{Flashdance}} Maniac]]: Includes the famous running in place from Flashdance.
10* Pump Up The Volume: The finishing move is none other than the [[Music/MichaelJackson Moonwalk]] (See a pattern yet?), providing an example of HilariousInHindsight, considering the very next release was the MissionPackSequel ''Michael Jackson: The Experience''.
11
12[[AC:''Just Dance 3'']]
13* Party Rock Anthem [[spoiler:Dance-Mash Up routine]]; admit it, you ''knew'' something was up when the normal routine didn't have shuffling.
14* Akin to "It's Not Unusual" above, "Apache (Jump On It)" is mostly based on Carlton and Will's routine to the same song in Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir.
15* Spectronizer: The song and the dancers themselves are an homage to ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai''. The opening notes are extremely similar to the ones heard in ''Series/ChoudenshiBioman'''s opening.
16
17[[AC:''Just Dance 4'']]
18* Superstition: The dancer bears a ''very'' strong resemblance to the [[Series/DoctorWho Eleventh Doctor]].
19* You're The First, The Last, My Everything: One of the dancers looks like Moss from ''Series/TheITCrowd''.
20* Moves Like Jagger: The third male dancer that appears during the chorus resembles Mick Jagger.
21
22[[AC:''Just Dance 2014'']]
23* Nitro Bot: The female dancer is a [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei Ayanami]] PaletteSwap, while her HumongousMecha companion could be possibly inspired by ''Anime/MazingerZ''.
24* Just a Gigolo: The female dancer resembles [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]], and the opening sequence is a parody of Disney's WesternAnimation/SillySymphony shorts.
25* She Wolf (Falling to Pieces): With her side braid and ice dress, the dancer bares an uncanny resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Queen Elsa]] (who would eventually turn up in the games alongside her sister Anna on "Let It Go" in ''2015''), but could also bring the Ice Queen from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' to mind due to the golden headpiece.
26* Applause: The dancer resembles [[Literature/TheHungerGames Effie Trinket]].
27* I Will Survive: The choreography is inspired by Michael Jackson's "Thriller".
28** And the Extreme routine of "Fine China" pays tribute to "Billie Jean".
29
30[[AC:''Just Dance 2015'']]
31* The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?):
32** The background during the chorus is nearly identical to the one in the official music video.
33** The routine starts like a story book named "What Does The Fox Say?", referencing Ylvis’ storybook of the same name.
34
35[[AC:''Just Dance 2016'']]
36* William Tell Overture: The choreography is pretty much JD's love letter to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_comedy Silent Comedy]].
37
38[[AC:''Just Dance 2017'']]
39* DADDY, Dragostea Din Tei, Popipo, and Scream and Shout: Their main routines are heavily inspired by [[Music/{{Psy}} their]] [[MemeticMutation original]] [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} music]] [[Music/BritneySpears videos.]]
40* What Is Love: The alternate routine is a clear reference to the popular Series/SaturdayNightLive sketch featuring the same song.
41
42[[AC:''Just Dance 2018'']]
43* John Wayne: The level takes place on top of the [[http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Lady_Gaga_Express Gaga Express]].
44
45[[AC:''Just Dance 2020'']]
46* [[Creator/{{Pinkfong}} Baby Shark]]: The shark family appears throughout the routine.
47* Le Bal Masqué: P4's outfit is identical to a member of the song's original band (Clémence Bringtown) outfit for the music video.
