Santa brought Monkey Girl “Just Dance 3” for Christmas.
She already had “Just Dance” and we have enjoyed it immensely.
But, the commercials for “Just Dance 3” looked like a lot of fun, so Santa thought she might enjoy it. The amount of use it’s getting from her suggests that Santa was right.
I’ll admit, though, it’s not just Monkey Girl who is enjoying this gift.
The music selections are fantastic and overall, it is fun and hysterical to play.
“Party Anthem USA” is Monkey Girl’s favorite selection, and it’s a good one, while “Hit Me Baby One More Time” has me feeling like a robot with a short circuit.
In a huge shout out to fans of “How I Met Your Mother,” the game has “Let’s Go to the Mall“ by Robin Sparkles. There are no two bigger HIMYM fans than Real Man and I, so when we saw that as one of the song choices, we laughed our patooties off.
“Forget You” by CeeLo Green is absolutely exhausting. I must have an inhaler nearby when I rock out with that one. I’m hopeful that once the bronchitis is out of my lungs, I won’t need the inhaler after that selection, otherwise, I’m in worse shape than I thought. But, it’s a rocker, bronchitis or not.
“Venus” by Bananarama makes me cackle every single time the chorus comes on, as the moves are exactly like those of Joan Cusak at the school dance, in “16 Candles,” and believe me when I tell you I searched high and low for a video clip of that scene in the movie to show Monkey Girl. We’ll just have to DVR next time it’s on tv.
Of course, there are many, many more songs that are fun to play with and a lot of dance modes for playing with others or playing alone. Monkey Girl also enjoys the Simon Says mode, which gives you directions in the middle of the game that you have to follow.
One of these days, I’m sure we’ll find Baby Monkey secretly videoing us with the iPad, and if that happens, I’ll be sure to share the video on here, with you.
Or not.
