Fela Kuti - Question Jam Answer
This song may initially come off as a little off-beat and dissonnant. It's not, just keep listening and it'll all come together eventually. The song is about arguments and their futility. It also alludes to the fact that when two sides don't see eye to eye, there is no saying what it could escalate to. "Jam" in the song title means 'to crash into'. "Shele" in the chorus means 'to happen'. So "when Question jam Answer...another thing go shele o". The "another thing" is left to the imagination. Fill in the blank with whatever you think 'another thing' could be. Word to the wise, it's easier just to not quarrel.
