Mars - what song is sampled for "Stalkin You?" it sounds lightweight familiar.

The song is entirely original except you may notice that the snare drum was sampled from the classic break God Made Me Funky because I wanted to give the track a little AM radio feel.

Mars's original concept for the song was that it would start with him tuning the radio while he's waiting in his bucket (probably rubbing one out in broad daylight) for some jailbait to walk home from school. That's why the first four bars of the song are filtered to sound more like an AM radio station.

As for the rest of the album:
Girlfriend was inspired by but not copied from Girlfriend by Pebbles.
I'm So Ganxsta was a replayed (but not sampled) version of I Can Make You Dance by Zapp.
Knock The Knock was a replayed (but not sampled) version of Juicy Fruit by Mtume.​

The more you know...
