Copying someone else's comment:

If you’re looking for a deep and meaningful translation of this world-famous line, brace for disappointment.

“Makossa” is the Douala word meaning “(I) dance” (or “sway” or “bend”), and also describes a blend of Cameroonian music with jazz. This line is a deliberate stuttering of the word.

“Makossa” derives from the Douala word “kossa”, literally meaning “to peel” (i.e. vegetables, fruit, etc) and describing a traditional Cameroonian style of dance.

Lyrics:

WHOA.  This is the track that Michael Jackson adapts for his breakout single "wanna be starting somethin'."

I remember hearing this come out of the radio in 1973 and thinking, "wow...." 

Really saddened to read he passed from Covid.

At last, this gets played on RP.  Thanks
