The video, of the band performing a complicated dance routine in Kulash's backyard, was never intended to be released publicly, but it has found a strong following," says NPR.

1. LegO-Zone: Ok, here's the story. Last summer a Moldovan boy band called O-Zone had a chart-topping pop hit ("Dragostea din Tei" or "Love under the linden tree") all over Europe; it was also covered by the Italian/Romanian group Haiducci. The only problem was that most of the people who hear it don't know Romanian, so they can get very creative in how they interpret the lyrics. Here's a website with some of those interesting interpretations and some interpretive dances. I think my favorite is the LegO-Zone because it's actually quite technically sophisticated, and it's even funnier if you see the original O-Zone video.
