Dragostea Din Tei.

That means, 'Love of the Linden Tree'.

I shall dedicate this entry to this song, which I have been stumbling upon everywhere.

I first saw a parody of it when Val introduced it to me. It shows some guy dancing madly to this song & it's funny, in a disturbing way. Lol.

& then, I found the same thing on Newgrounds, this time, the guy has outdone himself. He added subtitles. The quality's not too good but it's funny nevertheless.

&, I decided to run a search on this strange song after the irritatingly quirky song is stuck in my head.

I found out that it's sung by a Romanian boyband called O-zone, & it was released in Romania in 2003 & it was so popular that they released it in Europe in the following year which sparked plenty of parodies (including said one by Gary Brolsman). & I found some online. 1 was in Japanese with weird pictures & direct translations, another Japanese one featured kittens, & another Japanese one did the same thing on kittens except they played the song backwards (Japanese have weird ideas), 1 had a strange guy who decided to smash himself over the head with a vinyl disc at the end (oops, did I just spoilt the ending for you?), & another had Lego men in it, & another featured a North American, & another had 1 crazy Mexican & 1 crazy Asian dancing wildly...you get my point. The numerous parodies I found.

So I decided to search for the actual video made by O-zone & god, the guys are really good-looking...& gay. Haha. & yes, it is an MTV with no plot at all. They stand on the wing of an aeroplane & sing & animations flash randomly. That's about it. I don't know how that could have sparked such a series of parodies though.

I watched them all, & I had this sudden urge to make my very own Numa Numa MTV. Like, it was such a random urge. Who knows, it could become a new trend! Come on, sing along! 'Numa numa numa iei!' *flails arms wildly & nods head violently*

Anyway, I have 4 of the parodies, the actual video & the song. All downloaded...legally. Lol. So if you want them, feel free to ask. & Gary Brolsman's parody still beats them all hands down so check it out if you will. :)

Here are the Romanian lyrics:

Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haha (x5)

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

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

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

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

Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haa (x4)

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

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
O-zone [Dragostea Din Tei]
