The title is “Romanian Love”, and I think it was played on the Dr. Demento show back in the 90’s. What I do NOT want is a long list of Romanian love songs, please-just a song with that particular title.

You sure it’s not “Lumanian Love Song” by Barnes & Barnes?

I listened to that entire dreadful song (sorry to fans) waiting for the numa numa part only to realize the tie-in to the original is Romanian. Let’s all watch it: [Numa numa guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmtzQCSh6xk)  
I unapologetically love cheesy-corny dance music. For example, Darude’s Sandstorm is often panned as lame but it’s a fantastic song: [official vid](https://youtu.be/y6120QOlsfU?t=33).
