Wimbo wa Kiafrika

Wimbo unaishia ukiwa na kiitikio kinachorudia-rudia kuimba "Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa". Kwa mujibu wa mwandishi Mark Anthony Neal, "mashairi ya wimbo huu yalichukuliwa moja kwa moja kutoka kwa mwanamuziki na mpiga talumbeta wa Kikamerun Manu Dibango ambaye alivunja rekodi kwenye soko la muziki huko Amerika mnamo 1973 na kibao chake cha 'Soul Makossa'." Kelef Sanneh wa gazeti la The New Yorker, alieleza kwamba "Soul Makossa", "kilikuwa kibao [kikali], katika Afrika, Ulaya, na huko Amerika, ambamo ilionekana kama kibao cha kwanza cha aina ya disco". Pia, Sanneh alieleza kwamba, "[Dibango] aliuita wimbo wake makossa kwa kufuatia dansi ya Kikamerun, lakini yeye alinyoosha neno litokalo, [na] kusikika [inacheza kama]: 'Ma-mako, ma-ma-ssa, mako-makossa'." Japokuwa wimbo wa Jackson unatofautisha maneno ya Dibango, toleo la Jackson linakosea kutaja maneno yale anayoyasema Dibango wimboni mwake.
