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...

I've always liked teh real thing. (I once quoted it at a NATO seminar in Chişinău. Not many people in the room recognised the reference.)

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.

Almost 29 million views on that YouTube video.
Cripes, that boggles the mind.

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

Well, Dragostea Din Tei was a popular song, even before it became the Numa Numa phenomenon. I have it on my mp3 player regularly, it just makes me happy.

Just my 2ps worth. You will probably never hear anyone who can actually sing singing on a bus. Or in public at all really (unless it's karaoke or actual performance or church or a disco/rock night too loud for anyone to hear). Even I have gathered that that is Just Not Done. It seems the social diktat that thou shalt not show anyone else up (it is allowed to sort-of-sing, quietly, deliberately making it not all that good). So the one not singing? She's probably the one that can....
