(Radio.com) Bruno Mars was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend (Oct. 15), where he performed his latest hit single "24 K Magic" as well as a new funky track, "Chunky."

Mars didn't confine things to the stage where musical guests normally perform for his first number, "24K Magic." Instead, he started with a "walk and rap" that took him through the studio's backstage area with three of his backup singer-dancers. The boys paused to break it down throughout their "stroll," showing that when it comes to putting on a show, Mars can sing and dance in equal measure.

For his second performance, Mars debuted a new single "Chunky." This time, he stuck to the main stage instead of wandering through the audience or behind the scenes.

In "Chunky," Mars praises well endowed girls who have their life together. "Shout out to the girls who pay they rent on time," he and his boys sing. Even though it's a slower tempo number than "24K Magic," it's no less funky and builds in some of the early '80s hip-hop flare that Mars has been toying with lately. "Ooh Chunky/ Looking for them girls with the big ol' hoops/ That drop it down in Daisy Dukes/ Yeah, them the ones I'm trying to recruit/ I'm looking at you, yeah, you, baby," he sings on the chorus.
