Have always thought that Uptown Funk tried to make those parts very obvious to make it a homage back to those classics.

many music with that pattern. It's almost based on a lullaby.

Try Queen's "another one bites the dust". More than a little similar?

[jakebaker]

I dont know that beat is just a staple of funk timing. I wouldn’t even call it an interpolation unless you know the first time it was used and can have a direct timeline. Otherwise its just embedded in the funk and in your head naturally.

[DaveFurbush]

He owes sting and Morris Day a bunch of money

[TheIllynow]

Mars is the most derivative artist of the last 15 years

[rell_andre]

No one ever talks about the similarities to Cameo's "I Just Want To Be"

[georgecarrascomusic]

same/similar rhythm to "Queen-Another one bites the dust" as well

[RickyDonker]

Uhm, exc_use_me, but I think Beep Beep I'm a Sheep has the _REAL_ juice here. (I'm joking of course I know Beep Beep was written much later than the original groove)
