Voilà plusieurs semaines que ce garçon (photo) fait bidonner les bloggers avec son interprétation très personnelle du tube Dragostea Din Tei du boys band roumain O-zone (ok, moldave, qui chante en roumain.)
Qui est ce type surnommé "the Fat Dutch man"? Est-il vraiment hollandais? Et que fait-il pousser dans l'aquarium/terrarium derrière lui, dans la vidéo? Jusqu'à présent, personne n'a retrouvé sa trace, alors qu'il n'avait pas fallu longtemps à des blogueurs pour identifier le "Star War kid" canadien.
En attendant, les vidéos clip-maison du tube de O-Zone se multiplient au Japon (via London Dan avec d'autres liens encore à d'autres versions délirantes plus ou moins olé-olé.)
Ici à Emmanuelle.net, blog ô combien culturel, nous sommes fans de pop musique roumaine, et tout particulièrement de DJ Raoul, le DJ paysan qui mixe sur des tonneaux.
Who is this guy, nicknamed "the Fat Dutch kid"? Is he really Dutch? And what does he grow in that aquarium/terrarium behind him? So far, nobody has managed to track him down, whereas it didn't take too long for bloggers to identify the Canadian "Star War kid".
In the meantime, home-made video clips of the O-Zone song are multiplying in Japon (via London Dan who has even more links to delirious versions more or less naughty.)
Here at Emmanuelle.net, a high-brow cultural blog, we're fans of Romanian pop music, with a soft spot for DJ Raoul, the peasant DJ who mixes on barrels.
You're welcome! Such dedication rounding up all these links had to be acknowleged!
Il est super ce clip, super pour les soirs de déprime, on devrait pouvoir remercier le type qui a fait ça.
Ah ben moi je sais qui c'est ce jeune homme. Il s'appelle Pierpaolo et est Italien (so much for the fat Dutch kid ;-) .
Son site web est ici:

Highly addictive (or is it just me?).
Ben
Merci Ben de ton importante contribution! C'est l'occasion de dépoussiérer son italien : mais "è un mito!" ca ne veut pas dire "C'est un mythe?" Soit, ce Pierpaolo est un... mythe?
Il postait des vidéos en format Flash en 2003, mais malheureusement, archive.org ne sauvegarde pas les films
Comme dit Mag, on devrait pouvoir remercier ce "Dutch/Italian guy"!
this fat dutch kid is kinda HOTTT........and he sings pretty good!.......Hook It Up:)
Actually, what does that mean "Hook it up" in English?
And the kid turned out to be a hot Italian it seems...
OK, the kid is in fact from New Jersey as everybody now knows
It turns out the 'Fat Dutch Kid' is not actually Dutch. He's Gary Brolsma, who's 19 and from Saddle Brook, NJ.
The NY Times reports today that Brolsma is not all that thrilled with his internet fame. It seems he'd like to sue the guy who put that video clip on the internet, except he'd have to sue himself.
Some of his friends and family think he should embrace his moment in the sun. I agree. When I first started reading I thought I was going to feel guilty for helping expand this guy's misery, but when I watched the video again I decided that he's got nothing to be embarrassed about. This is not the same as the Star Wars Kid that the Times article refers to. That is embarrassing.
Brolsma's not embarrassing himself, he's having fun. It's clear that he's really enjoying himself and his great, expressive face is what makes the video so much fun to watch. We're not laughing at him; we're joining in his good time.
We've all done silly things in front of mirrors or whatever. I remember as a kid I used to practice my pitching wind-up in front of the mirror. I liked watching myself as the left-hander that I'd always wished I'd been (lefties have a big advantage in baseball). I knew lots of guys in college who used to sing into desk lamps while strumming their T Squares (those engineers!). Anyone who's ever done something ridiculous like that can understand what Brolsma's doing.
Brolsma needs to relax. In ten years, he'll be proud of this small accomplishment.
now i now the fat dutch kid he is my best friend and we r germen so stop saying he isitailian or stuff like that
