The song features a distinctive horn fanfare intro, sampled from the Bob & Earl's 1963 track "Harlem Shuffle". The song also samples "Popeye (The Hitchhiker)" by Chubby Checker. But it is known best for a high-pitched squeal at the beginning of every bar, which was rumored as a sample of Prince's scream from his track, "Gett Off". However, the sample has been proven to be a saxophone squeal from the Junior Walker and the All Stars track "Shoot Your Shot".
