Trivia
- Rumor has it that claims of how Paula Mitrache obtains her star stage nickname Haiducii (which is translated as "outlaw" or "of outlawry" in Romanian Language) was originally derived from the song lyrics of "Dragostea Din Tei" itself from the last Romanian word of the first line of the first verse which goes like this:
"Alo, salut, sunt eu, un haiduc....."
- Dragostea Din Tei is also a song sung by the group O-zone.
