This is the year of The Dougie. Last time we were here it was the year of the [_Stanky Leg_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozH6ue32WWI).
And before that Souljia Boy was lucky enough to have 2 [_Superman_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIBiJMEywxI)&
[_Bird Walk_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH8Oj1mkN88&feature=related) get co-
signed by sports and break into mainstream acceptance. I mean even the [_Jersey Shore is Doing The Dougie_](http://exclusiveaccess.net/videos/jersey-shore-boys-do-the-dougie/).

Now the Dougie wasn’t the only dance to originate up top. A while back Puff had 
the whole world doing the [_Harlem Shake_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IFoeM9E91M).
Every so often a dance craze crosses over out the hood and makes its way to mainstream
America. This years latest dance craze to make that transition is The Dougie. Made
popular by Entertainer Dougie Fresh while he headed up The Get Fresh Crew. Check

Now while most are to young to remember that. It leads me to believe that today’s
youth were made familiar to the dance thanks to the cult classic Jay-Z & Dame Dash
Roc-A-Fella produced [_Paid in Full_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paid_in_Full_(film))
where Rapper Camron as Alpo hit [_The Dougie_](http://exclusiveaccess.net/?attachment_id=7062)
while recapping a wild night of sex and celebrating.

This celebratory dance— is based on a series of moves described in the hit song“
Teach Me How To Dougie,” by the hip-hop group Cali Swag District—generally consists
of shimmying and then gliding one’s hand through one’s hair. In a long line of Ickey
Shuffles and Dirty Birds, it is just the latest example of athletes using work as
an excuse to boogie.

More than one million people have watched a YouTube clip of NBA rookie John Wall
doing [_the Dougie_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pry6Cp0kSO0) in his warm-up 
suit before his recent home debut with the Washington Wizards. New York Jets wide
receiver Braylon Edwards drew a penalty flag for a post-touchdown Dougie in September.
The Duck, the green-and-yellow mascot for University of Oregon’s top-ranked college
football team, was captured Dougieing on a prime-time telecast in October.
