Imagine. An overweight, white, round-faced man, sporting headphones, perfectly lip-synching to the song "Dragostea Din Tei" as performed by O-Zone, a Romanian pop band. The words that seems to stick out more than any other, is “Numa Numa”.
The video, Numa Numa, is performed by Gary Broslma and has been seen over ten million times. A BBC article from November 27th, 2004 claims that the video has been seen over 700,000,000 times worldwide. The original video was posted on Newsground.com on December 6th, 2004.
“Numa Numa” is more than just a couple of silly words, though. "Nu ma, nu ma iei" in Romanian means “you don’t want, you don’t want to take me”. “Nu ma” actually means not me.
Something that started as a meaningless video posted online turned into a worldwide viral phenomenon. Gary Broslma’s life has undoubtedly changed, all thanks to the internet and one pop song.
Too bad we can't hear the sound on these computers! Lol
