More addictive than crack cocaine, more uplifting than crystal meth, more repetitive than a man on marijuana, weirder than an acid trip.
I don't know what it is about memes. Why do geeks love them? Anyway, I've just discovered a meme that we at Rhodes came a little late to. Apparently there's a song called "Dragostea Din Tei" by a band called O-Zone (although it's also done by Haiiduci?). The lyrics are here, in Romanian, with English translations. Note with joy the translation of the chorus.
The thing is. The thing is. Some lad out there, vaguely reminiscent of Ghyslain[1], recorded himself singing along to the song. You can have a looksee here, and I've got a copy up here. Russell and I have not been able to stop listening to/watching the damn thing.
[1] Ghyslain is a 15 year old boy from Quebec who became famous as the Starwars Kid after a video he made in his school basement. You can have a look at the video, and at the fifteen remixes that meme-obsessed geeks around the world made, here. The person originally responsible for the propagation of the meme is here. Ghyslain is identified here. He appears in Tony Hawk 3 here. Thousands of people petition to have him appear in Star Wars 3 here. And everybody apologises and raises over US$3000 to buy an iPod for Ghyslain here.
