Potholes in My Lawn

Potholes in My Lawn

De La Soul

The first single from De La Soul, and consequently the first single from their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising. The single, which dropped in 1988, also features the songs “Jenifa (Taught Me),” as well as some other B-sides that never made it to the final version of the album.

The song heavily samples the War song “Magic Mountain,” but it also uses the famous yodeling and jaw harp on Parliament’s “Little Ole Country Boy.”
