    Lyrics
    (And now for my next number, I'd like to return to the classics
    Perhaps the most famous classic in all the world of music...)
    The first time around, you didn't quite understand our new style of
    Speak
    (Don't worry, we can fix that right now)
    So why don't you all just grab your bags
    (Come on aboard, hoist the anchor, and we'll be off)
    Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One, Plug Two
    Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One
    Answering any other service
    Prerogative praised positively I'm acquitted
    Enemies publicly shame my ability
    After the battle they admit that I'm with it
    Simply soothe, will move vinyl like glue
    Transistors are never more shown with like
    Like wind, vocal flow brings it all down in ruin
    Due to a clue of a naughty noise called
    Plug Tunin'
    (Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmmm)
    Flock to the preacher called Pos
    Let him be the stir to the style of your stew
    Sit while the kid of the Plug form aroma
    Then grab a Daisy to sip your favorite brew
    Lettin' this soul fire be your first prior
    But don't let the kick drum stub your big toe
    See that the three will be your thread
    But like my man Chuck D said, 'What a brother know'
    Dance while I play and the cue cards sway
    From my flower girls China and Jette
    The button is pressed in '89 we'll start the panic
    From De La Soul and a Prince from Stet
    Negative noise will be all divided
    Dangerous to dance, Posdnuos will croon
    Ducks and kizids will all be rid
    When paying position to the naughty noise called
    Plug Tunin'
    (Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmmm)
    Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One, Plug Two
    Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One, Plug Two
    Freeze cause these are the brothers
    Brothers of the Soul who project a new flick
    Every last viewer is tuned to the method
    Known to be a method, no magicians, not a trick
    Bitten by the spoken who been titled Plug Two
    Swallowed by the loonies who are jealous with the showbiz
    Dove'll teach the truth, Posdnuos will preach the youth
    To the fact that this will bring an end to the negative
    Flow to the sway cause I say fa-so-la-ti
    At the top we will dwell
    Difference is fame as we rise then we build
    Where we are set we get fat and we swell
    Motions of the Soul is a positive stride
    One step forward is the space we consume
    Vivid as the moon, you have yet to assume
    How the Soul found the motto of a naughty noise called
    Plug Tunin'
    Vocal is local so believe that
    This chant sends L.I. on the strong map
    Trying and live so you best realize
    That the gift that I present, I say gift wrap
    Style of the tune is personal
    And defining what's the rhyme is worst of all
    Stop, sit and study cause the meaning isn't muddy
    Just preach and throw the gear as the first of all
    Watch while the pitcher is pitching
    Cause this is the pitch of the year
    Sing a simple song but keep the swing strong
    Though you heard Dove crying, I ain't fearing
    Those who think De La's on the flip tip
    Try to flip this and you're doomed
    Watch for the B-B cause if you try to grieve me
    You'll be hung by the wire of the Plug Tune
    (Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmmm)
    (I can't twist your arm and make you stay with me)
    (Are you ready for this?)

      No doubt. Plug tunin is what made me get into producing. Was alread DJ'ing House Party's at 14 the year before but when Plug Tunin' dropped in '88 it changed everything. Didn't know nothing about studio equipment (no youtube back then lol) but somehow ended up with a Roland DR-220E Drum machine and a Tascam M-600 mixer and figured out a way to record onto tape decks before my dad gave me his reel 2 reel, just making the process up as i go....man those were some good days lol

      You don't have to put other people down to compliment De La, I'm sure if you actually asked the members they would gladly bring up a list of some the modern hip hop artists they love. Tribe had a whole song about it with Dis Generation, Q-Tip even lists a few of his favorites, not even including Danny Brown, who he produced an album for. Stop living in the past, the present is exciting too

      @@dramaking195 One certainty in life is that every generation thinks that most of the succeeding generation’s music is garbage for the most part. Our grandparents thought our parents’ music was too loud, our parents called our music “noise,” and sure enough, you, too, will not understand the appeal of whatever’s current once you reach your early to mid-30s. It’s human nature, not a personal attack on taste.

    I'm German. In 1990, I was 14 years old, my family and I came to the US and did a six week road trip through several states. I bought the album on cassette on a whim. We played it again and again throughout the entire trip - so it will always have a special place in my heart.

      They both have their strong points. The Remix has elements in it the original doesn't but still keep stuff from the first one in it in places. Both versions have a sample of someone singing at the end even though different phrases. I miss the "mmm-hmmm... ye-ahh!" at the end of the choruses like the original one though. Most of those samples come from the same record too.
