So last night I was at
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:

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.
