Elin Nordegren

She also has an identical twin sister, Josephin. There are now at least ten different versions of Numa Numa video, listed below. Elin Nordegren's mother is Barbro Holmberg, Sweden's Minister for Migration. It is very popular even with many teenagers and is often sung by children at schools. They were married in a sunset ceremony at the Sandy Lane Hotel and Golf Club on Barbados amid armed security before approximately 200 family and friends on October 5, 2004. Gary Brolsma continues this style of word-play in his "Numa Numa" video, in which someone super-imposed several pictures onto his dance routine, among them pictures of "feta cheese" during the lyric "fericirea" ("happiness") and a LEGO representation of Bob Ross during the singer's words: "sunt eu Picasso" ("it's me, Picasso"). They were introduced by Swedish golf star Jesper Parnevik, who had employed her as a nanny, and became engaged in November 2003. In an interview, in answer to the question "What is the song in the video?" Gary responds: "The song was pretty random, I found it in another (I believe it was Japanese) flash animation with cartoon cats or something." The 2channel version may seem completely random, but the images and text are a series of puns based on interpreting the lyrics of the song as English or Japanese words that they sound like (for instance, in the first line, Alo = Arrow/Alone/Arlong(A character of One Piece) (or Hello, ), salut = saru [monkey], sunt eu = sugee [incredible], un = un [yes], haiduc = haidoku [to read], şi te rog = ji bero [tongue characters]), and "fericirea" = panchira (upskirt).

Elin Nordegren (born January 1, 1980, Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish model married to Tiger Woods. It was one of, if not the original. The Japanese 2channel version actually preceded Gary Brolsma's video. One version even includes a sim from the computer game The Sims 2 dancing to the song, but none have ever come close to the international cult-like following of Gary Brolsma's. There are a number of other videos using the song, including several Japanese cartoons based on 2channel Shift JIS art and a LEGO dancing video.

Brolsma has stopped taking phone calls from the media; he canceled an appearance on NBC's Today Show on February 17, 2005, and he did not cooperate with The New York Times for their February 26, 2005 article about him. According to The New York Times, Brolsma has become an "unwilling and embarrassed Web celebrity". Reportedly, he was not happy with his fame, although he happily created tweaked versions of the video after it became popular (see below). Brolsma lives in Saddle Brook, New Jersey.

Since then it has popped up on hundreds of other websites and blogs, and he has made appearances on ABC's Good Morning America, NBC's The Tonight Show and VH1's Best Week Ever. Gary Brolsma first published his "Numa Numa Dance" on the Newgrounds site on December 12, 2004.
The phrase "Numa Numa" comes from the words from a refrain of the song, "nu mǎ, nu mă, nu mă iei", meaning, roughly, "(you) won't take, won't take me". .

Specifically, it refers to a Flash-based video of 19-year-old American Gary Brolsma (born July 7, 1986) lip-synching the song energetically on his webcam.
