I'm trying to locate a video. It's a weird foreign pop song that goes "Mia hee, mia hoo, mia ha, mia ha-ha" and has a guy chair-dancing to it. My google-fu gets me a not-nearly-as-cool video with weird pictures spliced throughout and not even a complete song. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. [Smile]

Numa Numa

Now I'm going to have THAT going through my head. Again.

Posted by Swampjedi (Member # 7374) on :

I'm afraid we all know what you're talking about.

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

A friend of mine has this song as a ring tone.

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

You should see the Lego version. [Wink]

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

Not again... [Razz]

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

I don't ever recall seeing the LEGO version.

In case that link doesn't say, the song is called Dragoesta din tei. (I think).

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

Or bizarre Japanese animation.

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

Query... how did you NOT know what that was? o_O

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

Lego version

Sorry, I was lazy before, thought I would edit but decided to add it so subsequent replies wouldn't look out of place.

The Lego version now makes more sense (surprising, huh?) after I've seen the video.

Anyway, this site has links to several versions, although the video parody by three teens didn't come up for me.

There's also a Sims version, which you have to download or view in RealPlayer (which hasn't worked properly for me lately).

Oh, what the hey. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

Tante: I want to see the Sandra Bullock version.I've never been able to find it.

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

And, since you upped the stakes,

The Llama Song.

Here's Katie's original thread -- with my post with lots of links (although some are no longer live).

Although my favorite post in the thread is still this one. [Big Grin]

Wait, this isn't the monkey's paw game.

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

I'll see your Sandra Bullock version and raise you a Napoleon Bonamite (Robot Chicken).

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

The list of video versions on wikipedia is a bit frightening.

I think this is my new favorite version.

The group also did a nectar and crystal remix of this song.

I may be a total square, but I have no idea what this means.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Me either!

Posted by Celaeno (Member # 8562) on :

I don't think I'm a square (after all, I'm a college student and therefore can't be too far removed from pop culture), and I also have no idea.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

Wikipedia! Sheesh!

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

rivka: unfortunately, my RealPlayer won't let me see your favorite version. [Wall Bash]

I'm off to bed, honestly. I had planned to go to bed about 1 1/2 hours ago and this is part of the reason I didn't.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

I did get a Google hit for "nectar and crystal remix" . Google found it in a Wikipedia entry on Dragostea Din Te. [Roll Eyes]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

*laugh* Exactly, Tante!

CaySedai, Windows Media Player works better for that one.

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

rivka: it wants to automatically open in RealPlayer, which says it needs to update. Then it says there are no available updates.

It's love that makes the world go 'round? [Smile]

I had the same thing. And I just updated RealPlayer, like, yesterday.

Oy. I've got to cover my stove with foil and stick my head back in the oven. You know what I mean.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Right-click, and choose "open with."

This one is just weird. And takes forever to load. (But then again, the chorus is "The chorus is 'numa numa yay' but I don't understand a word, ok?" *laugh*)

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

I like the Lego version and the one with Napoleon Dynamite the best, I think.

And Emma loves it when we sing that song and dance.

But sarcasticmuppet, you are now going to BURN IN HELL for getting that song back in my head! Just ask my husband! Last time, I was singing it in my sleep...

(Oh, and a google of Dragostea din Tei turns up the original versions, so you can compare them, too.)

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Weirdest one I've seen yet. Complete with Harry Potter, pocket dragons, and gnomes.

Posted by HollowEarth (Member # 2586) on :

link is the original version.

I can't stop watching this clip!

It really makes me wish Muppets Tonight was on sale to buy. Stupid Disney.

*laugh*
*giggle*

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

rivka, that last one is teh awesome. [Big Grin]

That is just like Emma!

Of course, it's now her new favorite version. :|

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Wow, there are a LOT of numa numa videos out there!

w/ calculus! (ack! derivatives!)

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

The Napoleon one was the funniest thing I've seen in weeks...

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

I think half the people I work with today threatened to kill me because I couldn't stop whistling the "MahnaMahna" thing from the Sandra Bullock/Kermit video that was linked earlier. That song is wretched and infectious and I can't get it out of my head!

But I still love it!
