Who’s fucking carmelizing onions?
Have you sociopaths forgotten that apples exist?
do you think caramelizing onions is putting caramel on onions
your man doesn’t even know what it means to carmelize onions

What is this? What is this from? Why do thousands of people know what this is. Apparently it’s Romanian. What is it??
They’re the lyrics to the song Dragostea Din Tei by Moldovan pop group O-zone. It was a very popular song in the early 2000s
We’ve finally reached the point where the old memes are too old for today’s generation… Fs in the chat.
We must not despair as long as we are here, we can teach the children about the ancient texts
Listen, kinderlach.
If you want to know how widespread a meme this was, I was in college when it was a thing. I was taking a women’s choir, as required by my major.
MY ENTIRE CHOIR CONVINCED OUR PROFESSOR THIS WAS A “ROMANIAN FOLK SONG” AND WE PERFORMED IT. LIVE.
We literally did it as a joke. Because we knew most of our audience would be students from other classes who were required to attend for a grade.
I will forever treasure the looks on the faces, ranging from outrage to pure unabashed glee, that popped up when we hit that first “maya hii, maya hu …”
This was back when a meme could go on for weeks, if not months or even up to a year. (Caramelldansen was around even longer than that, but Caramelldansen is up there with the Rickroll as the spiders Georg of the meme world.) It was still considered “current” nine weeks after we talked the prof into doing it. EVERYONE KNEW IT. It was the perfect prank.
I kind of wonder how many of the people who attended still remember this.
I am stunned to see this whole thread and not see the original meme video that really introduced this song to US audiences (or at least to everyone I know who was aware of it):
The oldest YouTube upload I can find has 48.8 million views at this time and is dated 2006 is because that’s when someone uploaded this video to YouTube because YouTube is younger than this video. The description to that upload says that a Guardian article FROM 2006 estimated that this video had been seen 700 million times at THAT time.
This video was passed around in emails and hosted on “homepages” and would take MINUTES to load. And it was worth every minute to see this young man, Gary Brolsma just fucking joyfully JAM OUT to this song (his upload of the video is embedded above to give him the views).
But dang, young folks, it took WORK to make something go viral in the Days of the Old Magic. Not just on the part of content producers (no one was a content producer yet, though) but also on the part of people sharing it. It was a wild, untamed time.
I’ve actually never even seen the official video before this thread. I love it. SO MUCH. I hope that John Ralphio knows how much whoever did the little animated segments is in love with him and I hope that the Tiny Twink knows how much whoever did the little animated segments hates him for existing so close to His Beloved John Ralphio. And also the other guy is there.
It’s incredible. Thank you for sharing that and bringing this joy back into my life.
back in The Old Days memes lasted years.
For any folks who are younger and would like more information, Wikipedia to the rescue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragostea_Din_Tei
And boy, did that song play a lot at one time. (On the radio, let me really date myself.)
Honestly it didn’t make me truly laugh until Darth Vader came tootling tooting out and then I lost it.
WHAT IS THIS OH MY GOD
I’m just gonna add this:

i feel like at midnight, posts become super deep and everyone gets emotional and the truth comes out.
ex: i’m extremely happy with what i’ve done within the youtube community - i’ve told stories through video to people i never would have met otherwise, i helped co-found (co-chair?) an event group for vidcon, etc. - and it’s been such a blast.
however, youtube will never replace theatre. some nights i convince myself that not actively pursuing theatre is for the better, that i’ll be happier, but also, some nights i miss that rush of being in front of an audience.
that last night show of spelling bee, i was so sure of who i was and what i wanted to be - one year later, i’m content with what i’m doing and where i’m going, but i can’t help wonder “what if?”
it scares me that i’m so flighty, that i can never fully decide what i want my future to be. in a year’s time, i went from IR major to actor to entertainer. nothing is certain, and that’s probably what scares me the most.
dear past mitra,
i have NO IDEA when you wrote this but i thought i’d swing by and offer some advice-
your future is never going to be certain. in all honesty, you never set foot on a stage again after cabaret. you switched to journalism. and now you’re in grad school.
where would you be without all these learning experiences?
certainty is dead. enjoy the ride, kid.
