Since I realized the amount of love I have for what happens around me in the world, I believe this is the one space where I can at least express it without waiting for somebody to listen.

Just To Make You Smile


If I were forced to be a groupie of the one band whose song I like with no plausible explanation, I would pick O-Zone. Their song Dragostea Din Tei gets stuck in my head with no complaints except for the fact that singing the lyrics become a great challenge to sing due to the fact that it's NOT in English, but rather Romanian. But I try.

You won't be disappointed if you watch their music video because, I assure you, they are entertaining. And pretty cute in a geeky sort of way.

And after you have finished watching the original music video, I invite you to try the parody...

I still can't tell which one I like more.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Update**

Ok, due to the fact that my sister needs to retain credit for introducing me to this band, her name Maria Ahmad is seen here. (Are you happy now?)

And while I'm at it, let me introduce to you the (Maria) Ahmad Theory of this three-membered boy band. According to her, O-Zone can be labeled under "typical boy band" due to the fact that there are three stereotypes represented in this song: the ambitious one, the sensitive one, and your typical "bad boy" stereotype.

In fact, you can pretty much pick your type from the versions portrayed in the video...let's start with the one in the obviously plastic glasses. He'd be the popular guy in high school...ambitious, the lead singer, the one who is always center stage and all the women, uh, die for.

Then there is the, for lack of a better word, vulnerable and sensitive member of the band in the yellow shirt. When the song cuts to him singing, his voice is much lighter and higher in pitch. Perhaps to woo the ones who like nice guys.

And don't you just love the fact that the "bad boy" doesn't really sing at all, but just acts like the role that is given to him? It seems that way as he sways in the background acting like the big bad bouncer that he is.

Although it sounds true, I just think it's better not to think too much into it. You'd probably find me perfecting the lyrics as the guy at home in the parody video had done instead *wink, wink*

Come on anonymous, you have to have at least some sense of humor. Are you just a diehard fan of O-zone?
