Numanuma is a strong Internet meme based around a catchy Romanian techno song called Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, a Romanian band.

"Numanuma" specifically refers to a Flash-based video of 19-year-old Gary Brolsma of singing along energetically on his webcam. All traces found so far seem to be clipped and out-of-sync near the end of the song.

Gary Brolsma first posted his "Numa Numa Dance" on Newgrounds.com on Dec. 12, 2004. Since then it has pop-up on over 80 site and has made appearances on CNN and VH1's "Best Week Ever."

Gary Brolsma is a New Jersey teenager from Saddle Brook, New Jersey. Brolsma, reportedly, is quite happy with his fame.

There are a number of other videos using the song, including several Japanese cartoons and a Lego dancing video.

Joi Ito has a good post discussing this current and growing meme.
