YMMV / Walk the Moon

• Awesome Music:
  • "Anna Sun", the song that initially gained them notice, a song about holding onto the last bit of innocence.
  • "Shut Up and Dance", the song that propelled them to fame.
  • "Surrender".
  • Tightrope, a song that was featured in Saints Row IV, two years prior to them hitting it big with "Shut Up and Dance".
• Broken Base: One ensued over their cover of the Ghostbusters theme song, heard in the end credits of Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. Some listeners think, "It's the Same, Now It Sucks!", while others think, "They Didn't Change It, Now It Doesn't Suck!"
• Funny Moments: During the video for "Shut Up and Dance", the background sometimes goes through a bunch of trippy environment and '80s-style visuals. Right before the final chorus, the music and visuals come to a halt, leaving Nick's character to dance awkwardly around the club, including mimicking John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever and doing an Irish jig. Thankfully, the female lead steps in to help and the song returns as normal.
• Heartwarming Moments:
  • "Aquaman" describes someone who's hesitant about the consequences after having sex. But the final chorus changes the lyrics as the narrator becomes absolutely committed to the releationship.
    Head first, into the water
    And so it hits me: I guess we could breathe all along.
    One breath, after another,
    And all I know is I wanna be here with you from now on.
  • "Different Colors" main message: Despite our differences, we're all in this together, and we can make it work.
• Signature Song: Originally "Anna Sun"; now "Shut Up and Dance", which was constantly played on the radio and became the song they're known for in the popular consciousness.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: "One Foot" sounds highly reminiscent of The 1975. Unlikely by accident, as it was co-produced by that band's frequent producer Mike Crossey (along with the rest of What If Nothing).
