[FEBRUARY 15: Greetings Numa Numa searchers. You complete, up-to-date Numa Numa links are now at Numa Numa Virus Breakout @ AMERICAN DIGEST ]
UPDATE: The origin of the dreaded and dreadful, yet profoundly hypnotic, NUMANUMA has been located. And it is avaiable at this link Now with SUBTITLES! (If you want them.)
We don't think that the addition of the translation improves the item, but then again improvement is not what this item seeks, is it?
SECURITY ALERT: The Numa Numa seems to be spreading and is now infecting the youth of America.
ANDREW SULLIVAN ALERT!: Numa Numa has now reached THE HISPANIC VILLAGE PEOPLE. "Marica Quien? Marica Tu!"
At the same time, the straight world was not slow in coming back with somewhat less colorful Numa Numa as an Office Olympics event.
Then, in a universe far, far away, a bizarre life form in the throes of gender confusion makes a solid case for why webcams need to be outlawed. [NSFS: Not safe for sanity.]
Developing....

Posted by: Van der Leun at January 14, 2005 2:42 PMJust remember folks, romanians were quite big in the dadaist movement. We have had and likely always will have a great sense of the absurd. It helps us deal with the governments we must suffer through (though the latest is something of an upgrade from the usual so it can't last).
This is like a Schnitpoog nightmare. Oy Veh!
Makes you want to go home and unwind with a little shooting spree*.
Ok so apparently it's Romanian, the song is really kick-ass :D...just...the scary dancing boy has made me fear Romania :(
Posted by: Yoshi at January 25, 2005 9:43 PMNUMANUMA ROCKS! UR ALL UPTIGHT LOSERS WHO CAN'T GET THE STICK OUT OF THEIR ASSES AND REFUSE TO LAUGH AT THE WEIRD FAT GUY DANCING!
Posted by: NUMANUMA at January 26, 2005 1:22 PMActually I think the song is Polish.
I could be wrong though.
Posted by: K at January 30, 2005 5:13 PMThe song is by O Zone and is called "Dragostea din tei"
Posted by: Brian at February 7, 2005 1:33 AMThe kid with the funniest lip-sync I've ever seen is from Nova Scotia, and appears to not know a word of Romanian. He just has good taste in music and a great sense of humour.
Posted by: SkippyMo at February 7, 2005 8:33 AMThis kid is friggin hilarious..I love it. HAHAHA! Rock on!!
Posted by: Carole at February 7, 2005 8:26 PMAnyone watch the video?? I've never seen three gay men dancing on a plane wing before, until now. THANKS NUMA NUMA!

Posted by: bob at February 15, 2005 4:33 PMI think I speak for many when I say "What the hell did I just watch, and why can't I stop watching it?" - 'nuff said!
Posted by: nybuck at February 16, 2005 4:31 PMThis song is sung in Portugese. The name (Numa Numa) is, in English, (In one In one).
Posted by: Rob at February 16, 2005 8:57 PMRomanian band singing Portugese song? That's just messed up...
Posted by: Mr. Rubino at February 17, 2005 12:38 PMWhat's more messed up is that the fat dude is from Jersey and his name is Gary. But again the song title in English is "Love Among the Linden Trees" What is becoming of this world!
Posted by: Mr711 at February 17, 2005 2:29 PMHoly Shit On fuckin cnn? and then on fuckin vh1 holy fuck yo This shit is gonna be like A new era
Posted by: Shady at February 17, 2005 2:37 PMThis is soooo Romanian!!!!!!!!! The music sucks but the song it's hilarious and makes almost everybody happy. Oh, and btw, if you didn't know it already, Romanians are great people, great sense of humor and enjoy life to the fullest!
Posted by: chelsea at February 18, 2005 11:29 AMi speak portuguese and this is not portuguese, buddy
Posted by: thiago at February 18, 2005 12:08 PMhe's a rutgers kid named gary.
Posted by: Mike at February 18, 2005 12:36 PMdude, I speak romanian and this is romanian
Posted by: haiduc at February 18, 2005 9:53 PMTHIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER CREATED I LOVE IT TO DEATH. THIS SONG WILL BE PLAYED AT MY WEDDING AND FUNERAL. I WILL MARRY ALL 3 OZONE MEMBERS AND MAKE HOT MESSY LOVE WITH THEM!!!1
Posted by: mimmykimmytimmy at February 22, 2005 7:53 AMI've done research for a long time on the video and music, and I guarentee you that it is sung in Romanian by the band "O-Zone". The title is called Dragostea Din Tei. That should stop the same questions, although I have one =). The kid who sings it, his name is Gary, and he lives in New Jersey? I'm trying to get more information about him. If anyone had an e-mail address for him or phone number or anything else, it would be much appreciated if you could share it. Thanks.
Posted by: Tarek at February 22, 2005 8:35 PMJust to give you the idea, the original song is called "Dragostea din Tei", and it was initially performed in Romanian by the group from Moldova called "O-zone". Then it got spread out in many languages, and here we go, it's performed by Gary... Not the best version, though...
Posted by: Moldavanka at February 23, 2005 2:50 PMOk, it isn't by haiducii, it is by o-zone, it is romanian, and the title does not mean 'in one in one' it means don't want me or something like that. yay! oh, sorry, i said the title meant that... that's what nu ma nu ma means, the title is Dragostea Din Tae, Love Among the Linden Trees... There, nobody make any mistakes or I'll have to kill you and send you're soul to Beelzebub
Posted by: Baka at February 23, 2005 6:57 PMi think that o zones songe "Dragostea din tei"
or numa numa as every one else is say is a very cool song and since i am seeing gary sing it i downloaded the song byetself too
i think that gary is awsomn for tallent and that no one should makeing fun just because he is fat or cause he is makeing vidieos he was just having fun and every one made him feel bad
I loved the numa dance and besides it made me laugh
so everyone who is to stupid to stfu and just enjoyed this go fuck yourselfs
I'm Romanian but I live in the US and the band is in fact O-zone and the song is called Dragostea din Tei. The Portugese thing really annoys me,but now everyone knows it's Romanian. Oh and I say thank you to the person who said that Romanians are great people and know how to live life to the fullest. You are correct!
Posted by: - at February 28, 2005 2:37 PMhttp://www.catteacorner.com/dragosteadintei.htm there thats the lyriscs to the song Romanian and English
Posted by: Gorre at March 1, 2005 7:01 PMGo Gary Go!!

Posted by: Cheese at May 13, 2005 6:12 PMCan anyone tell me what airplane was used in the original video? Those guys arent gay are they? I heard one had a wife and kids.
Posted by: doode at May 27, 2005 1:01 AMwhat the hell.... these are some swerd up words in this song
Posted by: mike conley at May 29, 2005 2:07 PMthat guy is hilarious
Posted by: Roman at May 29, 2005 8:48 PMDon't Romanians speak Russian because my sisters sister is 5(complicated not even going to try to explain sorry) and is half Russian and knows english and Russian and understands this song, also I can't tell if they're gay because other countries are more open than the U.S. sooo they might not be but I'm leaning more towards yes
Posted by: Dani at August 6, 2005 3:23 AMits romanian and he rocks!!! go gary:)
Posted by: bebe at August 16, 2005 9:57 AMok so i know the song is so old and no 1 has posted here for a while, but i asked my dad if there is such a language (romainian). he said yes. well theres a rumor that its actually a rusian song. is that true?
Posted by: holly at October 16, 2005 3:37 PMdont know what the hell it means but i played it at my wedding a few weeks ago love it and thanks fat guy from nova scotia
Posted by: gd at November 29, 2005 5:08 PMAwesome song. Anyone know how to get a more extended version. I know there is one. My friends got it.
Posted by: googleplex at December 7, 2005 2:54 PMthis is the coolest song and the guy is from north dakota
in Romania, homosexuals are deserving to be killed and hung. The Romania country is more shut than the US when thins come down to issues that are of the sort.
