[[File:Numa_Numa.jpg|thumb|The Legendary Video]]'''Numa Numa Dance '''is a flash movie from December 6, 2004. Gary Brolsma submitted this web-cam video of himself dancing in his seat to the Romanian pop song "Dragostea Din Tea" by "O-Zone".[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragostea_din_tei] Although it only took him fifteen minutes to make, it only took a few days for the video to be posted on the front page, and massive popularity soon followed. Although similar videos would eventually debut on YouTube, that site was very new at the time, making Newgrounds the only place to submit it. On September 8, 2006, Gary went on to produce a video called New Numa, which was a remix of a Russian song specifically produced by Variety Beats for that purpose. It was significantly less successful than the original, and has still not reached a million views on Newgrounds.[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/337573]. Since October 2016, the video has been unavailable to view on the Newgrounds website. According to the last screenshot of the video, it had 16.9 million views and a 4 star rating.
