The first real disco record was 1972’s “Soul Makossa” by the Cameroon-born sax player Manu Dibango. In the song, Dibango can be heard chanting Mama-se, mama-sa, mama-koo-sa.
Mama-se, mama-sa, mama-koo-sa.
Michael Jackson used it 10 years later in his song “Wanna be Startin’ Somethin’” (via Neatorama)
I LOVE the kid rocking out to Stevie. Why we don’t have music like this on kids shows today I just don’t know. But this is classic, great stuff.
Yet I can’t help thinking that this belongs on the Muppets more than Sesame Street. Maybe the Animal effect?
Brilliant commercial. Just brilliant.
Incredible. Thank you Kanye West. Yes, from Kanye Wests Vivemo account. It’s a very fun video.

DoCopenhagen has a great list of the top 50 music videos of 2006.
Some are obvious. Some are not. Lots of fun watching.
Some of my favorites so far:
There are more worth watching. I’m not a big fan of the Teddybears video, but really like their song. There are a ton others I’ve never heard of, and are still working through them.
Maybe one of the better musical performances I’ve seen on SNL. Beck performs ‘Clap Hands’ using a set table, forks, spoons, clapping and it looks like a dime-store guitar.
Stunningly good. Beck never fails to amaze or please.
This is the news I’ve been waiting on. 2007 is when we can expect the Pixies to hit the recording studio.
Things I like in my music videos. An age check verification, a catchy dance tune, girls wearing very little, hips swaying, touching. Yeah, that’ll get me every time.
I think I might have linked to this in the past, but it’s worth a re-visit. Carved Guitars are hand-carved pieces of art. Be sure to check out the Yellow Submarine, The Wangcaster (best.guitar.name.evar.) and The Steve Martin Banjo.
