Numa Numa?

One of the amusing thing about being on buses is listening to pubescent girls singing pop songs badly.
The great thing about living in a cosmopolitan city is that these songs are sometimes in foreign languages.
The great thing about the EU expansion, is that today Julie and I heard some Eastern European girls singing the Numa Numa song...

And they certainly weren't singing on a foreign language, they were talking gibberish as they obv. Didn't know the words. Romanian it is.

Why do you assume they didn't know the words?

1. The song was being blasted down the bus at the same time, so any idiot could hear the difference
And 2. I speak some romanian. Not much, but enough to know those were not words.

If I'd referred to it as "Dragostea din tei" then about 6 people on my friends list would have known what I was talking about...

Date: 2009-05-25 08:54 am (UTC)you asked 'Why do you assume they didn't know the words?'
so I told you they were not singing the words.
then you asked 'What were not the words?'
and I said noomy and similar noises to the song, but not the song.
I did wonder why you were going to such great lengths to find out how I knew the girls I saw on the bus were not singing the correct words - but I thought you had some kind of point somewhere that might be revealed if I kept going hehe.

Date: 2009-05-24 09:14 pm (UTC)Well, that could be because 'The Numa Numa song' is a more dumbed-down version of 'Dragostea Din Tei', a very popular song that was released worldwide in 2004 by the Romanian pop group O-Zone.
(check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragostea_din_tei for further info)

Of course then I found "other stuff" like the Puss N Boots video. YouTube is such a never ending source of amusement.
