I undid your addition of Numa Numa to the Mondegreen page. I love Numa Numa, but it is not an example of a Mondegreen. It is called Numa Numa by people who do not speak Romanian. A Mondegreen is created by a person who speaks the language the song is written in, but mishears the words or can't make sense of them, and substitutes other words in the same language. I assume that there is no word "numa" in Romanian. Bloody Viking (talk) 13:49, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. The fact that the original song is not in English is less relevant. The point is that the listener doesn't understand/hears the lyrics and fills in the blanks. Also, this particular example is also relevant because in later incarnation of the infamous numa numa videos, the author shows visual puns to lyrics, such as a picture of feta cheese when the lyrics get to "fericirea" (happiness).
