    this new song "MICHAEL JACKSON FT. AKON WANNA BE STARTIN' SOMETHING LYRICS"

    THe chorus is like:
    ama ma se,
    Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa
    Ma ma se, ma ma sa,
    Ma ma coo sa (10)X

    What language is it?

    I'm guessing it was just made up for the song, probably ran out of rhyming lyrics :P

    Can also be heard in Eminem and D12'S Ja Rule diss "Doe Rae Me"

    From answers.yahoo:

    Nothing. It is a chant in the style of songs in Cameroon, where the "words" are used for the sound effect, not a particular meaning. (from Rolling Stone)

    Yeah Wanna Be Startin' Something, there must be a newer version featuring Akon and that Rhianna song just bit it from the MJ song.

    The lyrics are originally from this song by Manu Dibango called Soul Makossa:

    It was sampled by Michael Jackson for the original Wanna Be Startin' Something and I think it's be used by other from there.
