R&P: Do you think Lady Gaga "borrowed" the Ma-Ma-Ma thing from "Ma Baker" by Boney M?

For "Bad Romance"?

"Ma Baker": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLzqMJQzzcA

Oh okay fine. I will post it then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I

    There was a real 1950s R&B song from Louisiana Cajun/Zydeco man Clifton Chenier which says "ma ma ma ma soul"

    Listen to the chorus and tell me. And dig the fact he brought his Cajun accordion to the recording.
