On December 6th, 2004, Gary Brolsma aka @GMan250 uploaded his Numa Numa dance music video to Newgrounds. NG was the only website Gary ever officially uploaded it to.
Numa Numa quickly became a viral sensation, with over 80 websites snagging their own copies off NG. Gary made appearances on CNN and VH1's Best Week Ever, as well as a sponsored New Numa video.

Gary has since formally uploaded Numa Numa to YouTube:
