It was released as the lead single from the band's second studio album ''Origin of Symmetry'' on 5 March 2001. The song became the band's highest-charting single in the UK when it peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart, until it was surpassed by "Time Is Running Out", which peaked at number 8 in 2003. Today, "Plug In Baby" is considered one of Muse's most notable songs, and has been featured on the live albums ''Hullabaloo Soundtrack'' (2002) and ''HAARP'' (2008). The song is often praised for its opening guitar riff which Total Guitar magazine readers voted as the #1 ultimate guitar riff of the 2000s. American rock band Lovedrug included a recording of "Plug In Baby" on their fan-chosen covers album from the I AM LOVEDRUG campaign. The album, titled ''Best of I AM LOVEDRUG''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lovedrug: I Am Lovedrug )〕 was released on 28 June 2011. The song has been featured on the video games ''Guitar Hero 5'' and ''Rocksmith''. ==Background and composition== "Plug In Baby" is written in the key of D Major (Although the song does not begin or end on the tonic chord of the key). It's mainly guitar and bass-driven, and moves at a tempo of 135 bpm. The guitar riff is based on the harmonic minor scale. The song was first recorded in 1997, although it featured a different guitar riff. The beginning of the riff shows similarities to the toccata from Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565". ''Total Guitar'' voted the riff as the 13th best of all-time in 2004. In 2011, Spinner.com named "Plug In Baby" the 46th greatest guitar riff of all time, citing its "play on Bach's 'Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565'." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plug In Baby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
