"Dragostea din Tei" is the most successful single by the Romanian band O-Zone. The original version was sung by Dan Bălan, Arsenie Todiras and Radu Sarbu. The single was first released in 2003 in Romania, where the group lived and produced at that time, and in the spring of 2004European countries. It was written and produced by Dan Bălan (who wrote most of the group's songs), and was one of 2004's most successful summer hits, as well as one the best selling singles of the year across Europe. in most other Although O-Zone's version was the most popular across Europe, several other versions of the song have been made, most notably by the small Italian dance act Haiducii, who released the song in Europe at around about the same time. Both have accused the other of taking it without permission. "Dragostea din Tei" has also become a popular song to parody, as proven to some popularity with Gary Brolsma's "Numa Numa Dance" video. It was famously listened to and enjoyed by a group of young English students from Radley College Oxford England who were teaching in Romania at the time (Summer 2003). From here the song went on to become a major summer hit in the UK the next year. source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragostea_Din_Tei
