So last night I was at [livejournal.com profile] daemonx's house and we were all in his room watching internet videos, and we came across some misheard lyric videos.

This was the first time I think I've heard "Dragostea Din Tei" in its entirely, aka the Numa Numa song.

So today I hit Wikipedia and Yotube, found the original Numa Numa Dance video, whatever. It's a catchy song, but it takes more than a goofy lip sync to get my respect.

Then: the Japanese Numa Numa video. Where have you been all my life?

Things I love about this video:
  • Has both misheard lyrics, and real Romanian lyrics in the captions.
  • A handful of the misheard lyrics are in English, just to throw a bone to the West.
  • The underlying plot of the animation seemed to vaguely coincide with the lyrics, though I'm more likely to be misunderstanding the animation than the lyrics, having read this translation.
  • Pretty slick animation, compared against the photograph-and-captions slideshows I saw on the English ones last night.
  • 2ch cats! I recognize then, though the only other places I've seen them were on that NSFW Chinko Anesan animation, and at an electronics store in Akihabara.
...and many more. Hey, are there any other Flash animations with those 2ch cats?

Ha ha, I always thought that one part sounded like 'panchira'. But I had never considered 'keep Dhalsim.'
(Also, the misheard lyrics thingy can be called 'soramimi.')
