Transmitting Live from Mars Lyrics

[Produced by De La Soul and Prince Paul]

Ecoutez: À midi"
Quelle heure est-il?
Il est midi
C'est l'heure de déjeuner
Qu'est-ce qu'il y a à manger?
Des saucisses, sans doute


Écoutez et répétez: "A midi"
Quelle heure est-il?
Quelle heure?
Quelle heure est-il?
Est-il?
Quelle heure est-il?

Il est midi
Il est midi
Il est midi

C'est l'heure de déjeuner
C'est l'heure
C'est l'heure de déjeuner
De déjeuner
C'est l'heure de déjeuner
Qu'est-ce qu'il y a à manger?
Qu'est-ce qu'il y à?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did De La Soul say about "Transmitting Live from Mars"?
Genius Answer

In Brian Coleman’s book “Check the Technique: Liner Notes for Hip-Hop Junkies,” Trugoy the Dove explains:

That’s the one that the Turtles sued us for. It startled us at the time, because we were clueless about how severe it could get. The attacks, especially, the Turtles one, started coming after the record went gold. Steely Dan sued us too.
