Numanuma

Numanuma is a strong Internet meme based around a catchy Romanian techno song called Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, a Romanian band.

"Numanuma" specifically refers to a Flash-based video of 19-year-old Gary Brolsma singing along energetically on his webcam. All traces found so far seem to be clipped and out-of-sync near the end of the song.

Gary Brolsma first posted his "Numa Numa Dance" on Newgrounds.com on December 12, 2004. Since then it has popped up hundreds of websites and blogs and made appearances on both CNN and VH1's "Best Week Ever."

Gary Brolsma is a New Jersey teenager from Saddle Brook, New Jersey. Brolsma, reportedly, is not happy with his fame. According to the New York Times, he has become an "unwilling and embarrassed web celebrity". Brolsma has since stopped taking phone calls from the media, cancelling an appearance on NBC's Today Show and not taking calls from The New York Times regarding the story.

There are a number of other videos using the song, including several Japanese cartoons based on 2ch Japanese ASCII art and a Lego dancing video.

Joi Ito has a good post discussing this current and growing meme.
