Plug Tunin' is a 1988 single by the influential hip hop trio De La Soul. Lyrically, the song is idiosyncratic; "Transistors are never more shown with like / When 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, hmmmm)", however, musically it laid the foundations for the sound the group would realise more fully with their debut album "3 Feet High and Rising". The album also included an updated, though no less ambiguous, version of the song.

The song is sampled on the Gravediggaz' "Defective Trip."
