Dragostea Din Tei

I know, I know -- I'm late to post this one. In the grand tradition of All Your Base (2001), the Star Wars kid (2002), and Badger Badger (2003), the Internerd presents A fat Dutch New Jersey kid singing Ozone's "Dragostea Din Tei." [Someone told me he was Dutch. Oops. -Ed]

Has anyone found out who the kid is and whether he is accepting donations for an iPod?

Get this guy on American Idol! He'll charm the pants off of Paula with his chin-stroking move.

i could watch that all day...the part where he raises his eye brows to the music and talks to the camera..i mean...jesus, god knows we all act like that at some point, but to have it in the public forum...unreal

Wow I never thought I would hear anyone mention this song again after leaving Europe. I only heard it like 23432493249832 times while living in Italy. Though it was the Haiducii version that was all the rage, which I must say I prefer. Embarassing isn't it? At least i learned some Romanian from it...

Hey, does spamming like that actually get any business for these bastards? I mean, do any Stereogum readers ever visit those sites? I can assure you that I do not. Not only because I'm less than uninterested, but because I refuse to give my business to spammers.

Why are they wasting their time here?

I go back & forth home to Germany 3 times a year and I finally got sick of the song last summer(2004) but, this ("fat" or "Dutch" "New Jersey" whatever) guy has renewed in me a new love for this song. And my 3rd and 1st grad daughters are crazy about it. Strange how an unknown person can bring fame to a song, even if its an old one.
