“Dragostea Din Tei” (pronounced [ˈdraɡoste̯a din ˈtej] ⓘ; official English title: “Words of Love”,[2][3] also informally known as “Maya Hi” and “Numa Numa”) is a song by Moldovan pop group O-Zone, released as the second single from their third studio album, DiscO-Zone (2004). The song’s title is Romanian for “Love from the linden tree”.
Excuse me Europe, but I have to ask: What the fuck?
Man, I miss having fun on the internet without the fear of millions of people bullying/doxxing me or a corporation using my likeness to spread viral marketing/train their shitty AI.
I always thought Numa Numa guy looks like he’s having a lot of fun
It’s weird. I think half of the people who watched it were like you (and me) and the other half were like, “ha ha fat guy.”
But then I think most of the ridicule of that Star Wars kid, who ended up having serious psychological issues stemming from it, was because he was fat too.
Looking it up, seems like Moldova speaks Romanian, so nothing weird about that?
And is that really a “weird” name for a song? Don’t forget it’s gonna sound awkward since it’s a translation, but it seems like a mostly typical name for a song.
There was a time where it actually required great effort to avoid this song and video. For 20 years, I have managed to do so. I am very proud to say that I’ve never seen this video.
I will never not say Paul Reubens wasn’t done dirty. Peewee was great, showed my daughter Peewee’s Great Adventure and she loved it. Need to get the kids on the show, because I watched it and I am well-enough adjusted.
That was a video version of the phrase ‘dance like no one is watching’, he seemed like he was having an awesome time and put himself out there to see. It always makes me smile.
I sort of compare it to ‘the star wars kid’, who as far as I know didn’t want it released and was teased (bullied?) merciless for it. Sometimes people just want to goof off and want to have fun and shouldn’t have to worry about being teased cause, what is life if you don’t enjoy it?
