"Doug E. Fresh taught me how to dougie" -Javier Nelson
That's the official version of Cali Swag District's Teach Me How to Dougie. I am not an honest person and admit I lied when I said I learned to dougie from THE dougie. I still don't know how to dougie, I'm as white as a polar bear. Come on now. I do know that this song basically sucks. The video is worse and I'm sorry for including it but I need a point of reference for our scholarly beginnings. It kind of makes me feel like I'm on a boat about to get sea sick. Listing back and forth like a drunken sailor with some type of mental illness, off their medication. It's basically awful. "Read more" for better videos and the rest of the study.
Here's A Whole Lotta Extra Dougie. Courtesy of Dj Lobsterdust. Thank god for mashups. You can actually dougie to this song, dance, and revolt! (This is my favorite and will be yours as well by the end, I am sure of this, I included it here for reasons you will discover below)
In addition to that, to keep it light and keep you on that rollercoaster adventure for your ears: A WAY better version of Cali Swag's "official" video:
As you can see, we have video evidence of more of the history of this strange modern phenomena.
And this modern "how to" that's just terrible with a capital tyrannosaurus T.
Simply awful. And white boys get made fun of for dancing, my vapors are rising.
Hipsters, I don't have anything too fly for your white boy style yet, but here's a postal service one that's not the worst.
Next is a kind of dirty house version, keep in mind that these are all improvements on the original cali swag garbage that's on the radio. Think of it as just a rawer version of a dance house dougie mix.
Finally, we have the "Official Remix" and I expected better from Jermaine Dupri but alas, this is what we get:
Not a strong showing on the field today and this is some of the better stuff out there. If you've got some of your own dougie'ing videos, post in the comments section.
