Just a little info...you can check into it more then:

The coda at the end of the song comes directly from Cameroonian saxophonist Manu Dibango's 1972 disco song "Soul Makossa". The coda is "Mama-sah mama-sah ma-ma-coo-sah". Makossa is a Cameroonian music genre and dance.

""Mama se mama sa ma ma coo sa" from "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" doesn't actually mean anything (according to "Rolling Stone"). It's just a cool sound effect, like they use in the songs from Cameroon.

Duala is spoken in Douala, Cameroon's largest city, which has long been a musical hotbed. Since the 1960s, Cameroonian pop music has been dominated by a rhythmic style of dance music from Douala known as makossa. The Duala word makossa is often glossed as "(I) dance" (as in this article by Cameroonian linguist George Echu). The entry for makossa in the Oxford English Dictionary further explains that makossa is "derivative of kosa 'to peel or remove the skin of (a fruit or vegetable)'; the name refers to the twisting and shaking movements of the dancer."

I dunno, I always thought it was just some of those random sounds. Like "nanana" or "lalala" or whatever.

I think it means something along the lines of "I dance". I've tried finding it out too and that's what I've got.

It was originally meant to be "I dance to the sound of Michael's song". Just thought I'd throw that in :-)
