[edit] Gay ícons

Are they Gay icons about your place?

No.

Nope. I can understand the confusion and/or joke, though. They were what we here in the U.S. call a "boy band". There's always jokes about boy band members being gay over here, probably because sappy love songs (stuff that mentions crying, even. In other words, not exactly the manliest of music) are usually a staple of boy band type groups. I have to wonder why though that the handful of female singing groups (excluding t.A.T.u., whose manager cooked up a gimmick to promote them as a pair of lesbians) never seem to have lesbianism jokes thrown about. Maybe some guys get a bit jealous because ladies often like the girly men more? ;) Runa27 17:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

They were definitly gay and never hid it.

Dan definitely likes girls... but if you watch their videos (especially Dragostea din tei), it's quite difficult to believe that they didn't all partake in a little gaysex once in an every day. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 23:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] VfD Archived debate

For the archived deletion debate for this article se Talk:O-Zone/Delete. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 00:37, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccuracy?

In 2005 the group split up. All of the members went their separate ways and started their own solo careers. It is debated whether O-Zone is the original creator of the song. An Italian man named Haiduci claims the song as his own, as both groups released the song about the same time.

I don't think this is true, since when the woman from Haiduci (yes, Haiduci is NOT a man, or at least, not only) came here in Bulgaria, she clearly stated on a TV show that the song was written by Dan Balan. This should be corrected. --213.91.184.25 22:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC) (Megara)

Hello, just comment about Haidyci. On the disk MTV hits 2005 there was another Haidychi song - "I need a boyfriend". It is complete copy of the Russian-Ukrainian singer (known as VerkaSerduchka) song. So, it makes me think that MayaHi has been written by O-zone. brozz

Could someone please add which song is being referred to here. The text does not give any indication of it. Icemuon 18:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The song was Dragostea Din Tei. There was some legal action, I believe - O-Zone won and Haiducii conceded that the song was written by Dan Balan. --Ryttu3k 14:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What about the numa numa guy?

The band came into focus and awarness about it increased after a home-made video with their song playing in the background became popular online. Could more information about this be included in the article?

No. The home-made video of an extremely obese individual pretending to be the entire O-Zone band became popular in the U.S. and Canada after the actual group became popular in all corners of the world (excluding U.S. and Canada of course). Most of the people who've seen this Numa Numa thing in the U.S. and Canada (I bet you don't even know what 'numa' means) don't know who made the song anyway.Eugeniu B (talk) 02:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Greatest Song Ever

Just see music video. Sound and Fury 03:21, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dragostea Din Tei

This song has a site of its own. So there was no need to describe the song here again.

True, some parts should be moved or deleted. But this section is actually more about Dan Bălan than the song. It needs to be cleaned up and moved to the right places. Will put that on my todo list. Icemuon 10:41, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, but please note, that Dan Bălan has a site of his own, too. Both sites include text which ist paste&copy from Dan Bălans official website.

[edit] minor edit

I removed the phrase "which is the most fricken awesome song ever written and" from the first sentence of the section about the numa numa song. 134.84.102.244 04:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] We need refence!

"The group formally broke up when Radu and Arsenie ended their homosexual relationship." there must be reference for this! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gerrado (talk • contribs) 17:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

AFAIK, there isn't one and will not be one - none of the members of the band are homosexual or had any such relations with anybody. --Shruti14 ^{t c s} 23:25, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] scentence structure

"The song is most popular for the very popular video clip by Gary Brolsma". This is a bad scentence. I have changed it into: The song is also famous for its videoclip by Gary Brolsma Kimelinor 11:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Metal?

I heard from I can't remember which forum that O-Zone or at least one of its members plays or used to play metal (I think it was thrash, but I could be wrong). Does anyone have a link that confirms that so it could be added in the article? Or maybe I am wrong, who knows! ZOUAVMAN LE ZOUAVE 02:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Dan Bălan did rock metal before O-zone and now he does just rock. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 23:53, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discography.

They had 5 CDs & not one of them is listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 (talk) 10:14, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
