But a former friend who says she watched her singing did not get the impression the alleged victim was boasting, rather that she had the song stuck in her head at the time.
The three senior students were in the final year of studies at a Canberra school in June 2009 when the alleged incident occurred.
The alleged victim has described being intoxicated on cannabis, leaving school with the three boys and heading to a house where they allegedly had sex with her, despite her protestations.
They are now standing trial in the ACT Supreme Court, accused of having sexual intercourse with the girl without her consent, or being reckless as to whether she consented.
But the trio has pleaded not guilty, and their lawyers say the sex was consensual.
The accused men cannot be identified but for clarity's sake The Canberra Times has decided to refer to them as persons A, B and C.
They were aged 18, 18 and 17 at the time of the incident.
They are also accused of using a child to produce pornography, in relation to a 19-second mobile phone video of part of the incident which shows the girl on top of Person A.
One of the complainant's former friends, whose relationship with the girl broke down after the video began circulating, described this morning seeing the alleged victim after she returned to school from Person B's house, where the incident occurred.
"She was kind of dancing around, and very cheerful," the witness told the court.
The woman went on to explain the girl was sitting the first verse of television personality Tila Tequila's I like to f***.
The witness said the lyrics went, "I like to f*** every day, every night, I like to f*** if it's wrong, if it's right".
But under questioning from Person C's lawyer, John Purnell SC, she said it did not seem the complainant was bragging.
"It was like it was just stuck in her head," the witness said.
When asked by prosecutor Margaret Jones, the woman said she spoke to another witness about the complainant's demeanour over the ensuing school holidays but not after the police became involved.
But she rejected the prosecutor's suggestion the girl did not seem happy in the immediate aftermath of the alleged incident.
The trial before Justice Richard Refshauge continues.
