Those are the lyrics from the song, but the boys weren't following suit. Maybe they did need someone to teach them how to Dougie. You can watch the vid below:

How to do the Dougie

It's simple in theory, but you still have to do it. According to Wikihow, begin with the side-to-side motion, swaying back and forth, starting with the right. Pause for a beat while putting your weight on the foot on the side you're leaning, thinking, "right step out, left tap."

Then sway to the left and repeat. Keep your knees loose and put your rhythm into it. Don't bring the "tap" in - it's just a light touch on the floor.

Next, sway right, left, right, right, followed by left, right, left, left. The start of each section should begin on the 1 and 5. Start feeling it in your arms and get your shoulders into the groove. Step out on counts - one, two, three, and four. Tap on the "and" beats, so it's one tap, two taps, three taps, four.

Once you feel comfortable with the primary move, add some arm movements. As you do the side-to-side movement, bring your hand (on the side you're swaying to) towards you in a counter-clockwise circular motion until your arm is bent with your elbow facing down and you're first up by your head. This is the most popular Dougie arm move, but you can try other versions, such as arm pops or rolls.

To add some flair to your Dougie dance, try the "Cat-Daddy" move by punching down by your hip with the arm of the opposite side. Try the "Wheelchair" move by making forward circles with both arms like you're pushing yourself in a wheelchair while crouching lower with each rotation. And don't forget the signature Dougie move, the "Dougie Fresh," by bringing your hand over the top of your head and sliding it off the back.

Remember to be loose with your knees and add your flair to the dance. It's all about feeling the beat and flowing with the motion of the music. So, shake around and have fun!
