Internet Fame Is Cruel Mistress for Dancer of the Numa Numa (funny video of kid singing)

NY Times ^ | 2/26/05 | ALAN FEUER and JASON GEORGE

[F16Fighter]

I just watched the guy's performance twice.

Lol, I liked it....

Yeah, the eyebrow-raise was a nice quirk.

[cyborg]

Let's see... fat kid or metrosexual poser...I think I know which one I like better *LOL*

[sully777]

The Numa Numa kid is no doubt artistic. And artists are usually flighty. He probably desperately seeks attention but hates it for the greater meaning of his craft. They don't respect me. They don't love me. They love the Numa Numa Dance. I'm more than Numa. I won't be typecast or pigeon-holed. I'm Gary! Love me. Love me.

---

On a wholey unrelated subject when I read "..."Whenever there were computer problems, Gary [the Numa Numa Dance kid] and Corey would fix them for the school," she said..."

When I read this I immediately thought of the Gore Tax. We're linking schools to the internet using billions of dollars in grants for computer hardware, wiring, and the only ones that can fix the computers (and hack them) are the children, not the teachers. Isn't that like a student aiding the auto shop teacher after his car gets a flat, or a student finishing the chemical equation that the chemistry teacher doesn't understand, or a child showing the art teacher how the color wheel works?

[Lady Jag]

This kid needs a fan club. He is wonderful! Thanks for the link.

[arasina]

Watch what you ask for, S&A. I'm one of dem 'bad' girls who would do such a thing. LOL

[wizardoz]

Is this cute or what? I have it bookmarked now. It's like watching Radar O'Reilly cut loose. LOL!!!

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Now THIS is a guy I could play D&D with!

Oh for the good old days..... /sigh

(You should note the lack of sarcasm.)

[506trooper]

Hey, he was down with, and obviously having a good time...more power to him.

That being said, I'm glad there's no audio of me bellowing in the shower.

[tang-soo]

In a Dieter (Michale Meyer's character on SNL) sort of way, I thought he was pretty cool.

[arasina]

Innocence. That's what we're missing and what this fellow is exhibiting.

It's happy and rousing...like a good Hava na gila!

[speed_addiction]

I'll say one thing, whether he regrets it or not now, he was having a ball when he made that video! He honestly had fun with that. He is probably a load of laughs to have a beer or two with.

[CarrotAndStick]

The song's called 'Dragostea Din Tei'.

What a catchy song! I'll have it in my mind for ATLEAST THREE DAYS!!!

[arasina]

Okay, so what does 'Dragostea Din Tei' translate to in English? Anyone?

[Petronski]

It's happy and rousing...like a good Hava na gila!

My favorite all-time version of Hava Nagila is by speed surf guitar legend Dick Dale.

Imagine a surf-guitar version of Hava Nagila. Very campy.

[Lady Jag]

Here's a cute one for ya. He's so hot everybody wants him! See post #1 for video (swf) link.

I think SW kid had a more embarrassing video, but still, he did a pretty good imitation of Darth Maul.

[Salamander]

He's better than Milli Vanilli was....:)

[arasina]

Hava na gila sounds good to me with whatever instrument. It's kind of like true 'soul' music to me. But I'm a very strange person I suppose. :o)

[Lady Jag]

Not only did I bookmark it, it is save on my hard drive. It's cute, it's fresh . . . it's a great exercise tape (LOL!).

He should come out of hiding and make the circuit, get famous with some interviews.
