Bigger than the hamster dance, jibjab election animations, and the Star Wars kid… “Numa Numa” hit the web in December of 2004 and it’s popularity spread across the web faster than a virus.

Original Numa Numa Dance – The guy’s name is Gary Brolsma and when he got down for the first time he went VIRAL! The man’s still going strong in 2025, so go check him out on his YouTube page.
Bizarre Japanese Animation Numa Numa by Ikari. This one is just a bunch of animated cats doing stuff like drinking from bottles. It is kind of funny when they confuse “Alo” with “Arrow”. Check it out.
Numa Numa Remix – Watch an android robot guy with beam eyes penetrating down to Earth from outer space for three minutes and thirty three (3:33) seconds while listening to a sped-up electronic sounding remix of Dragostea Din Tei.
LegO-Zone – Now this one you’ve gotta see. Tiny Lego men walking in choppy animation, cutting to a windmill, then they get into a Lego airplane. After that the Lego men start dancing and you can see the windmill in the lower right. They start climbing all over each other, marching, spinning, and doing all sorts of things you’d never expect. Tool spinning, wing dancing, motorcycle riding, somersaults – it runs the gamut. Next thing you know, the plane TAKES OFF! I don’t want to spoil it for you so you’ll have to watch the video to see the rest. Enjoy!
Lyrics for Dragostea Din Tei (original in Romanian and then translation in English):
Original Romanian:
Ma-i-a hi, ma-i-a hu
Ma-i-a ho, ma-i-a ha-ha
Ma-i-a hi, ma-i-a hu
Ma-i-a ho, ma-i-a ha-ha
Ma-i-a hi, ma-i-a hu
Ma-i-a ho, ma-i-a ha-ha
Ma-i-a hi, ma-i-a hu
Ma-i-a ho, ma-i-a ha-ha
Alo, Salut, sunt eu, un haiduc, Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea. Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso, Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic, Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei. Chipul tau si dragostea din tei, Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.
Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum, Alo, iubirea mea, sunt eu, fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso, Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic, Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.
