Numa Numa Dance is a dance-esque lip sync created by Gary Brolsma, performed to the song “Dragostea din tei”, by the Moldovan pop group O-Zone.
It was uploaded to the site Newgrounds in December of 2004. Another instance of the same video can be found on YouTube.
Origin
Originally created for his friends, the link to the Newgrounds post was forwarded to hundreds, then thousands, then millions of people making Numa Numa one of the first viral video hits of the web. Thousands of people would create, remix, and upload their own ‘Numa Numa’ videos to sites like YouTube. Soon Gary would have appearances on mainstream media outlets like CNN, VH1, and the Today Show. He would be parodied in a South Park episode on internet memes.
Mixed Follow-up Success
In September 2006, Gary would record a heavily produced follow up video entitled New Numa: The Return of Gary Brolsma that would get over 12 million views but wouldn’t have the same cultural impact as the first Numa video. In November 2007, Gary would record ‘Numa Three: Crazy Loop!’ which was a return to the webcam format. In March 2009, Gary would release ‘Numa 4’, a video co-sponsored by Geico Insurance.

Dragostea din tei (Romanian)
Maia hii
Maia hoo
Maia haa
Maia haha (4)
Alo, salut
Sint eu, un haiduc
Si te rog iubirea
Mea primeste fericirea
Alo alo
Sint eu Picasso
Ti-am dat bip
Si simt voinic
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic
Vrei sa pleci dar numa numa iei
Numa numa iei numa numa numa iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai (2)
Te sum ce-ti spune
Ce simt acum
Alo iubirea mea
Sint eu fericirea
Alo alo sint iarasi eu Picasso
Ti-am dat bip
Si simt voinic
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic
Vrei sa pleci dar numa numa iei
Numa numa iei numa numa numa iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai (2)
