Knock Knock samples I've Told Every Little Star

Mac Miller’s “Knock Knock” (2010) is built on Kim Davey’s “I've Told Every Little Star” (1961) — a sample that travelled 49 years to get there. In SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE we spin the original and ask you to name the hit that flipped it. This one lives in the intermediate crate, worth 2 points in party mode.
