According to Spike Lee, from his Bad 25 documentary, "Shamone" "isn't just a cool way to say "come on," but MJ's tribute to soul singer Mavis Staples, who used it in a live version of "I'll Take You There" in 1975."

Today we lost a musical genius and perhaps the creator of what we now know as dance. We haven't lost what he taught us though - Shamone !

Originally coined by the great Michael Jackson, meaning, "come on". This incarnation was made new again by Whitney Huston on the television series, Being Bobby Brown. In a scene in which Whitney and Bobby go shopping for sunglasses, (findable on yout*be under,"Whitney and Bobby acting very crackish") Whitney enters the store feeling reeeeaaalllly good and exclaims, "Shamone!" This word now means. "I'm feeling so good today i just have to exclaim, "Shamone!"
-also, acceptable: Shamona!! for extra excitement!
-free pizza? Shamone!
-Gurlfriend, I look GOOD! Shamona!
