"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,[1] 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".[2]

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.[3] Another credited sample is from Duran Duran's "Save a Prayer".[2]
