This, in my opinion, amusing video known as Crazy loop (Mm-Ma-Ma) by Dan Balan the ex member of O-zone who some might know by the song Dragostea din tei or more commonly know as “The Numa Numa” song which was made famous by a young man who sat in front of his computer singing to the song and for a while you could see the video everywhere but I digress. As interesting and amusing as this video is it does have a deeper meaning behind.
The video starts with a fashion show where the audience looks bored and rather tired as they watch the stiff models walk down the runway. Dan Balan, who is playing a pizza boy, who is delivering a pizza to a famous fashion designer who is in the middle of a fashion show. The designer takes a bite of the pizza but doesn’t like the pizza and spits the bite he took into the trash. A few seconds later the fashion models walk past the designer and Dan, who tries to follow the girls out on stage. The designer holds his arm out to stop Dan and pushes him away and then he himself follows the girls out. With no one around and wanting to try anything to follow the girls Dan begins to search though the clothes that are near and picks up a pair of sunglasses and a suit out of the trash. Next it cuts to a shot of Dan walking out on the stage with the girls, once in the middle of the stage Dan stops and begins to sing and dance as the girls around around him. The designer looks out horrified that the pizza boy has gotten on stage and is ruining his show. The audience seeing the tone of the show changing as they watch Dan dance around on the stage bring life back into the dull fashion show begin to look up though not sure of what to think. Some look horrified as the designer others just trying to figure out what is going on. The designer meanwhile is pushing the girls out trying to keep the show running.Then it show this older man who appears to be a VIP is surrounded by quite a few people who seem to be looking at him for his opinion. He pulls off his glove to reveal a golden thumb which he uses to give a thumbs up to the show.
Once everyone sees that the man likes it the whole feeling everyone is giving off of confusion or distaste changes as people begin to clap and the designer runs in back to grab clothes out of the trash. The clothes that he grabs he begins to use to dress the girls in wild and crazy outfits. Such as the girl carrying the giant swordfish or the girl wearing the pizza carrying the pizza that Dan had tried to deliver throwing the pizza to the crowd. The girls become more interactive with Dan such as the girl who dancing on him (not gonna lie pretty jealous of her, lol). The designer at the end of the video walks out in front of the happy audience and presents Dan a bucket of popcorn which he throws up. At the very end of the video it shows the fashion show on the cover of a magazine basically showing that the show was a huge success.
Now this video might seem silly with Dan dancing around on the stage in the middle of a fashion show in sunglasses and a suit or the girls at the end coming out in the crazy outfits but it has a point to it. This video is basically picking at the fashion industry and how that they are all cookie cutouts of one another with there mainly formal elements. In this video he is trying to show people that they should be more expressive and not just try to be a cookie cutout of one another. That the reason we wear cloths and stuff is to express ourselves whether it is a “punk” who is being a rebel or an “Emo” kid who thinks the world is out to get him, that people have the right to and should express how they feel. That is what makes life interesting, being able to be unique and expressive.
I would highly recommend for everyone to watch the rest of his videos. They are all quite unique and always funny and interesting. I would suggest if you look up Dan Balan to look up “Joanna Shut up” Or his new video, though I warn you it has a different feel to it but I guess artist are always changing and trying new things, “Chica Boom.” I hope you enjoyed this video of the interesting Romanian Dan Balan.
