Plug in Baby Research

First single from 'Origin of Symmetry'
The meaning of the song is unknown, although is likely to refer to a guitar “and how he (Matthew Bellamy) only has to plug it in and play, for all his critics to be proven wrong ('crucifies my enemies')
Matt Bellamy is amused at abstract readings of the songs meaning, some suggestions being it refers to genetically engineered puppies.
The songs opening riff is number 5 in Kerrang's top 50 riffs.
The original video: "The idea came from a conversation we had about genetics and being able to design beings for their own purposes", another explanation is that Muse just wanted to hang about with loads of attractive models all day.
