- 10 years ago, Gary Brolsma uploaded what would be the first ever viral video, titled Numa Numa.
- In the video, Gary lip-syncs to Romanian pop song ‘Dragostea Din Tei’.
- Remarkably, the video went viral without assistance from YouTube (which didn’t go live until 14 February 2005) and has since been watched over 700 million times!
- The video was originally posted to Gary’s Newsgrounds page.
- The flailing arms, the elastic facial expressions – the video is a true gem.
