Playing Notes:

1. I am omitting lyrics since the whole song is based on this simple arrangement
   (And as this is a rap track with lots of words) 

2. This is a classic "first generation" rap tune. With Chipmunk voices and neat 
   little story involving Superman as a mixin' DJ, Cosmo D, Megatroid(?) 
   and Chilly D -- it makes for a classic. Everyone knows this song.

Bass:

I chose to transcribe this completely on the E string since its a nice
scaling pattern and more fun (in my view) to play. 

G--------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------o|
A-------------------------------------o|
E--9--12--9-7-5-5--5-5h7-9-------------|

Repeat this over and over through the verses. 

On electric guitar, you can play the same riff doubling the bass as
shown, or play it in first position:

E--------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------o|
D----2--------------------2-----------o|
A--4---4---2--0-0-0-0h2-4----4---------|
E--------------------------------------|

The quick synth parts can be played like this 
(Listen to recording for tempo and pattern matching)

E--------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------|
G-----------9-------9------------------|
D----11--11---11-11--------------------|
A--------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------|

The following section is my addition to this song, STRICTLY optional;
if you play this in a band, you might get a bit bored with doubling 
the bass. There is a chord I discovered that, when repeated in a 
funky-syncopated fashion with lots of muting complments the song nicely. 
It's more scraping and muting than actually playing, but if you strum fast 
(16th note), in time with the high-hat, it will come off nicely. Make up your 
own strumming/muting/raking pattern with this chord and have fun!

E----9--X-X--9-9-------------------------
B----9--X-X--9-9-------------------------
G----9--X-X--9-9-------------------------
D----9--X-X--9-9-------------------------
A----X--X-X--X-X-------------------------
E----X--X-X--X-X-------------------------
