Memes

August 21st, 2008 by tdomf_23356

The Numa-Numa guy, the Star Wars kid or a million gallons of Diet Coke gushing from a Mentos generated reaction – one of the unsung contributions to culture and art is the Internet Meme.

No one knows where they come from. No one knows why any of these managed to worm their way from one inbox to another, digg’d stumbledupon and facebook’d across the world.

I suspect someone, somewhere is going to eventually figure out the common element between the bullet-time stick figure kung-fu and badgers badgers badgers badgers and lolcats will have either unlocked a great secret of the mystery of life or stumbled upon a dark and disturbing aspect of the human psyche. But in the meanwhile, the leek spins

Move all Zig. For great justice!

    The “Numa Numa Guy” is actually Gary Brolsma from Saddle Brook, New Jersey.

    You can watch his YouTube here

    The band that does the song is O-Zone

    I forgot to mention that the song is called “Dragostea Din Tei”, in case you were dying to know that, lol.

    Actaully the main singer in ozone,(Dan Balan) left and formed his own euro group (Crazy loop) – also known as his “alter ego”. Two songs have been published so far – Crazy loop (Mm, ma, ma, ma) and Johanna (shut up).
    Both of which i must say are very catchy. (:
