There are new people on the floor

  - Madman Jack, Wakk Digge Dugge Baba Dugge Bamanu, 1984.

I mean, I know they're not the hardest lyrics in the world to transcribe, but it appears I'm the first person to slow down the bit where the guy goes kinda nuts with the sampler.  And that's my contribution to the world's body of knowledge for tonight.

Does anyone know what the hell the chorus was about?  Was it something made up but catchy, or did it actually mean something in Madman Jack's native tongue?  Who was Madman Jack, and why did he write/mix those words into this little earworm from the 80s?
