My Super Cool New Ringtone

Saturday, August 12, 2006

I just put O-Zone's Dragostea Din Tei on my cellphone. In the past I haven't been too particular about ringtones; if it let me know my phone was ringing, it was good enough for me. But this song has changed everything! Everytime my phone rings, I just want to dance! I'm even in danger of missing the call, because I want to keep listening to the song. Don't worry though, I'm still a "people person" at heart and can't stand to miss a call!

Dragostea Din Tei is a Romanian pop-song that came out a few years ago; I don't know if it ever became popular in America, but we hear it everywhere in Thailand. If you don't know it by it's proper name, you've probably heard it called the "Numa Numa Song". You can hear the song at the O-Zone MySpace page . By the way, if you're curious about what the lyrics mean, you can find the "real" translation by clicking here.

While Lori has happily embraced the culture around her by putting a Romanian pop-song on her phone (what a strange world we live in), I have decided to embrace the past with the classic Monday Night Football theme song from 1978-1988. Now when my phone rings it sparks memories of Frank Gifford and Al Michaels expressing disbelief as John Elway turned broken plays into highlight reels.

Isn't the missionary life amazing? Who else gets to sit in their tribal hut in Thailand, gluing cats and rats to cardboard slats, and dancing to the latest Romanian teeny bopper tunes played when the cell phone rings?
It makes my head hurt just trying to visualize it!

Girl! I totally do the same thing with my ring tone! I have Mandisa, one of the top 12 american idols. She's a doll and i've got her "just wanna praise Him" cover as my ring tone. I've missed a couple calls just to belt out the whole 'song'. The numa numa song was totally popular here. We just listened to it twice!
