Numanuma, spreading to a website near you!

Dunlavy · 02-12-2005, 11:00 AM

Over the past couple of months a song by a band known as O-zone, called Mi-ya-hii, began taking a flash turn for the worst. We are now plagued to see strange guys dancing on their webcams and even nerdier guys making a Starwarskid-esk movie to the song, these are known as Numanuma.

Now for your fear... Here is Numanuma

(by the by, I couldn't decide whether to put this under entertainment or internet. I decided to the latter because it IS becoming an internet craze.)

Well, I don't know about any of the other products in this "craze", but I gotta say that I've seen much worse amateur video efforts online. I think this kid did a pretty good job on what he was doing, actually.

Beestie · 02-12-2005, 09:36 PM

Amateur my ass, that guy knows what he's doing with a video camera. He even used the technique Hitchcock made famous in Vertigo where, to simulate the dizzying effect, he would simultaneously back the camera away from the subject while zooming in to keep the subject at the exact same visual distance but distort the background.

In all, I thought it was a cool video but maybe 30 seconds too long.

Dunlavy · 02-13-2005, 11:49 AM

Yeah, I liked everything except for the last part, if that's what you were trying to say. And I know it's not an amateur, it seems to be like a planned out starwarskid. You think that's bad? The more amateur one is the one you can find more often around google, it's of a somewhat fat nerd guy dancing in his chair to the song with his webcam.

Undertoad · 02-13-2005, 11:57 AM

I saw that one and it seems definitive, I doubt I can ever think of anything else when hearing that song.

Dunlavy · 02-13-2005, 12:02 PM

But you have to admit that it's catchy. Maybe I should make a post about this in Conspiracy theories.... I watched it in the library office at my school, some people saw it, they began watching it and people watched them. Soon enough the announcement program played it as the opening theme, now I can hear it walking down the halls....

Miska · 02-13-2005, 07:45 PM

Hate to sound like an ass, but it's called 'Dragostea Din Tei.'

Dunlavy · 02-14-2005, 01:57 PM

Then why does the band call is Mai-Ya-Hii? The band is O-zone, and under a site that's what the song is titled. Where are you getting your facts from?

Okay, just cheked a few more sites, it's hard to tell anymore. Some dites have Dragosta Din Tei while others have Numanuma or Mai-Ya-Hii.
