Gary Brolsma and his Numa Numa dance are not just some flash-in-the pan fat kid doing a lip sync and a dance. They are oh, so much more. Yes, among other things, Gary Brolsma and his Numa Numa dance have been spreading cheer and bop around the Internet world with an astonishing speed and vigour usually reserved for bad news, gloom and doom. You go, Gary! (And for the record, I don’t think that you’re fat – and those who are saying that you are should be ashamed of themselves!)

In the past eight days, the Numa Numa dance, and Gary Brolsma, have garnered the second-highest visits ever on this site, eclipsed only by Paris Hilton’s hacked Sidekick! Wow. And for those of you surfing in on a “fat kid lip sync” search, well, shame on you.

And this is my chance to stand before you, humble and corrected. In our first reporting of Gary Brolsma’s Numa Numa dance, I had reviewed a second generation version of the video, which had been altered to have unrelated images inserted into the video, interspersed with the video of Gary performing his Numa Numa chair dance. In fact, I even hypothesized that the great draw of the Numa Numa dance was how similar it was to “All Your Base are Belong to Us”, another video featuring seemingly random images flashed on the screen.

But no, I have now seen the original video – all Gary, all the time – and its draw is pure bop and joy. A catchy song – despite it being in a language you probably won’t understand – and a person just rocking out and chair dancing away (admit it, you’re a closet chair-dancer too).

So, to see the original video, see here (thanks to Andrew for the link!) And if you’d like to see the original Romanian lyrics, along with an English translation, see [Page no longer available – we have linked to the archive.org version instead].

  8. Gary is awsome!! This song is in Romanian. To find a translation google search numa numa, go to the second site from the top. Once you get in go to watch this movie, it is a very long load but worth it. Once it is done loading go to with subtitles, and enjoy.

  9. Yo Gary!!! If you read this man…we want you to know that we love you you man!!!Be proud of yerself….Rock on!!

  10. wow. gary rox! his lip syncing talents rock just as hard!!!i play the video every day at least 15 times and i NEVER get sick of it! rock on gary!!!:)

  11. i agree, this video is hilarious.
    as a romanian myself, i find it great to watch how, although he doesn’t know what he’s saying, he’s putting a hell of an effort in lip-sync-ing

  12. oh man i literally pissed my self watching this with my friends during history oh man nice job gary you get a 5 star rating on this video.oh man

  20. Dear Aunty: Love your site and the strong stand you have taken against spam and all the assorted nasties that have invaded the internet planet. It sometimes is necessary for a bit of delightful diversion to distract our collective minds from the dismaying events in the cruel, heartless world of internet spamming…but wait…does Aunty really need to dismount from her pinnacle of strength to support such mindless drivel as geek tattoo exhibitionism and Numua Numa butt bouncing? For shame Aunty. I hope that your demographic extends beyond the hyper-puberty set and would really like to see you supersize your attacks upon the evil empires that are sucking the life out of open-access internet communication and worry-free convenience. I really like you so much better as an armed-to-the-teeth traffic cop than a sideshow barker. Ouch! Sorry!!

  21. We have been searching the internet for an hour ans still can’t find a translation for the Numa Numa song. Please write to us if you find the english translation!! thanx!

  22. Man Gary, that video is the best! I showed it to my mom, and now she can’t get that song out od her head!! :) I mean, because of ur song, i got kicked out of computer class because i was showing it to my friends, but I’m glad. Well, it sure made me laugh! I watch it almost everyday

  23. Gary, no shame in that video – you just look like you are just having the best time ever! Yes we all have done that before – just never got it posted on the net.

  24. 8. THIS IS SO F*CKING AWESOME! YOU RULE GARY!!!!!!!! Is there anyway we can contact him?

  25. I guess all of us love that video because we all have done the same thing when alone, and above all because Gary is super. GARY YOU ARE GREAT !!

  26. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SE N. I CAN’T HELP BUT DANCE ALONG. LONG LIVER GARY

  27. Just one of the funniest think ever produced on the net…I underline funny and not one bit ridiculous…
    If anyone could provide the email Gary’s email address…
    Thanks

    Go Gary Go!!!!!!

    Buddy

  28. >talking in 3rd person is annoying

    Oh yes, Aunty agrees. Aunty doesn’t like it at all.
