The part about the vegetable and buffet is so bizarre to me. Also does anyone know what language they're chanting at the end? It's obviously African, but I wonder if what they're saying ties into the song.
@rickyr1983 Makossa roughly means "dance" in the Douala language of Cameroon, and the phrase is believed to have come from the brain of Manu Dibango, who released the song 'Soul Makossa' in 1973 featuring that familiar chant, which basically just plays with the word makossa rather than having any actual meaning. Dibango took Michael Jackson to court (and Rihanna, who'd sampled it on 'Don't Stop The Music') and their record labels were – and we quote – "barred from receiving 'mama-say mama-sa'-related income until the matter [was] resolved".

You're a vegetable is not odd when you listen to the voice of the piece. The antagonist in this song is messy people, busybodies and liars. That line of the song is considered the mind of the protagonist. Think about it, we beat ourselves up often when we are criticized . He's internally mocking his inability to get these people off his back. By the end of the song, he comes into himself and realizes he is somebody, he believes in himself and suggest the listen believe in themselves as well. Help me sing it...
