Wikipedia article
"'Mama Say'" is the debut single of the Bloodhound Gang. It was originally released as a single from the band's 1994 EP, 'Dingleberry Haze', but is usually associated with the 1995 album 'Use Your Fingers'. The single features the song remixed by God Lives Underwater.
Music and lyrics
"Mama Say" references children-oriented works and creators like "Scooby Doo," "Sesame Street" and Judy Blume. 'Billboard' has described the track as having "the goofiest and grooviest sounds of the year."
The song samples Michael Jackson's 1983 single "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" in the repeated line "Mama say, mama sa mama cu sa" in its chorus; the title is taken from both this sample and the song "Soul Makossa", which inspired the Jackson tune. Another credited sample is from Duran Duran's "Save A Prayer".
