Is this to the tune of the old Calgary beer commercial? I didn't know there was a real song behind that.

Oh, heck yeah! One of the campfire classics. For those of us of a certain age, it was standard grade school music class fare.

We all do.... and the song tells you that only people that spread the song through out an area no less than 5 miles may be his friend.

There is something addictive about this, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. The kid certainly has lots of charisma.

I would too if I was dancing to that song.

In case anyone was interested here's the Romanian lyrics and English translation of the words to the song Numanuma or Dragostea Din Tei, whichever you prefer.

Chorus 1 (4 times) -
Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haha [These are just sounds.]

- Verse 2 -
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.

Hello [on a cellphone], greetings, it's me, an outlaw,
I ask you, my love, to accept happiness.
Hello, hello, it's me, Picasso,
I sent you a beep [cellphone signal], and I'm brave [or strong],
But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.

- Chorus 3 (2 times) -
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.

You want to leave but you don't want don't want to take me, don't want don't want to take me, don't want don't want don't want to take me.
Your face and the love from the linden trees,
And I remember your eyes.

- Verse 4 -
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.

I call you [over the phone], to tell you what I feel right now,
Hello, my love, it's me, your happiness.
Hello, hello, it's me again, Picasso,
I sent you a beep [cellphone signal] and I'm brave [or strong],
But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.

Chorus 3
Chorus 1
Chorus 3

well that loses a lot in the translation, doesn't it.

What ever you do, please don't find a translation for Ma-na-ma-na

Oh, you mean Phenomenon by the Muppets, right?

That's the way I heard it anyway. :rolleyes:

*sighs deeply* wow... i'm lost already

Not to worry.....the Muppets will do that to ya. :biggrin:

MUPPETS FOREVER!
 

Now THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!

speaking of muppets.. has anyone here seen meet the feebles (sp?)

does anyone have a link (that isn't broken) to the original star wars kid video?

i'm trying to explain this to someone at work, and it just needs to be seen.

eBaum's World has everything!

oh yeah, it's spreading...

This song and that fat kid are both awesome! It's addictive and fun. I was looking for a thread on this, or I was gonna start my own. This is just classic.
LOVE it.
