"Ripley's Believe It or Not! is a franchise, founded by Robert Ripley, which deals in bizarre events and items so strange and unusual that readers might question the claims. The Believe It or Not panel proved popular and was later adapted into a wide variety of formats, including radio, television, a chain of museums, and a book series.
The Ripley collection includes 20,000 photographs, 30,000 artifacts and more than 100,000 cartoon panels. With 80-plus attractions, the Orlando-based Ripley Entertainment, Inc., a division of the Jim Pattison Group, is a global company with an annual attendance of more than 12 million guests. Ripley Entertainment's publishing and broadcast divisions oversee numerous projects, including the syndicated TV series, the newspaper cartoon panel, books, posters and games."

"South Carolina
- Myrtle Beach – This Ripley's museum looks like a building cracked by a hurricane. It features an animatronic band playing the song "Dragostea Din Tei," an optical effect where you feel like you are being flipped upside-down, and a collection of tombstones with strange engravings. It is at the corner of 9th Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. Ripley's has five other attractions in the area besides the museum: an aquarium, a moving-theater attraction, an arcade, a haunted house, and a house of mirrors."

Now, do you know anything about "Dragostea Din Tei" ?
If you live in Europe, you may have heard/seen it, clap-danced on it, had a good time...
If you live in USA, you may have heard/seen "Numa, numa"...
If you in Burkina Faso......you can refresh your memory now. :)

""Dragostea din tei" (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈdraɡoste̯a din tej], English: Love from the Linden Trees),[1] also informally known as "The Numa Numa Song" (or "Mai Ya hee" – see lyrics), is the most successful single by the Moldovan pop group O-Zone, sung in Romanian.
It shot to the number one spot on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it remained for 12 weeks between June and early September 2004.[2]
It reached number one in Germany and stayed there for 14 weeks, number three in the United Kingdom and 72 on the U.S. Pop 100, and it was number one for 15 weeks in France.
A popular cover of the song was made by Haiducii, which also charted in many countries, especially Italy and Sweden where it topped the singles charts.
The original song was made notable in the United States by the viral video of Gary Brolsma dancing to the song, calling it "Numa Numa".
In 2008, the song's hook was sampled by T.I. / Rihanna in their hit "Live Your Life", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and reached number two in the United Kingdom."
