Off Topic Numa Numa Dance

[Starmaker]

For those moments when you just need a lift and a laugh. Turn your sound on. Great to exercise to! haha

It started out innocently enough, a web cam, his favorite tune...

This young man from New Jersey became a reluctant internet celebrity, and people created the Numa Numa craze all over the world.

and naturally after reaching near hysterical proportions, American Idol came calling.

I agree -- he is a hoot.

OMG I p****d myself.

Maybe we should start a ADDB version of us Numa-ing our favourite songs.

Who's first...???

[Lady_Hawke]

That was good!

[spazzyhilo]

omg that was the funniest thing I have seen in a long long time - oh I don't know about anyone else - but I needed that! :joy

I also believe I will have the song stuck in my head for a very very long time :nod

[Moochiecat]

what language is that song in? the Allo and Salut made me think it's french, but that's not french...

*Edited to add*
It's Romanian!

oh my GOSH.

That's the funniest danged thing I've ever seen!

I love that guy!!! What a great kid.

And the music? Totally remniscnet of Erasure...hello 1990s!

[Ailah]

That's Dragostea Din Tei, by O-Zone. Yes, it's Romanian. The song was very famous in Sweden, radios used to play it, night clubs, music channels... It was very popular this summer.

*chuckles* I love the guy's facial expressions!

[Starmaker]

You are 100% right Tess, we played it at my club gigs all this past season. Its still requested often.

[cleochatra]

Now I have that infernal song blasted into my memory!

I love it, but it's wickedly infecting, and it's not even in English, so if my pronunciation's off I might be calling someone a 'fat cow-God' in Romanian...

My 3-yr old grandaughter absolutely loves this song and video. I have to play it for her every day and this has been going on for the past month. She sings along with it any knows most of the words even though they are in Romanian. I loved it at first, but after having to play it for her about a billion times it is getting kinda old. Please don't look up the translation of the words if you like this song. The actual lyrics are sooooooo boring and banal! LOL
