Wreckin' Cru's singles such as "Surgery" and "Juice" were marked by a blend of old school rap and the new electronic sound, best exemplified by Kraftwerk's single, "Trans Europe Express." The combination of electronic and hip-hop thus created formed what we now refer to as electro-hop. This would mark the end of old school west coast hip-hop. After this, Dr. Dre joined N.W.A and gangsta rap dominated the genre.

Must be the music
Yea-yea-yea, yea-yea-yea yeah, he hey yeah
Must be the music
Flashing lights moving to the beat
Mirrored walls and fog at your feet
I'm just a DJ, baby, mixing for you
This club night is through
Must be the music (must be the music)
It's turning me on
Must be the music (must be the music)
I cannot go wrong
Must be the music (must be the music)
It's turning me on
Must be the music (must be the music)
I cannot go wrong
My voice is hot, so let me MC
I'll spin my records to get you closer to me
The way you dance is blowin' my mind
I'm in the booth watching you all the time
Must be the music (must be the music)
It's turning me on
Must be the music (must be the music)
I cannot go wrong
Must be the music (must be the music)
It's turning me on
Must be the music (must be the music)
I cannot go wrong
DJs may come and DJs may go
But I'm the best, baby, don't you know
That I would give it up for lovin' so true
Give up my records for a moment with you
Must be the music (must be the music)
It's turning me on
Must be the music (must be the music)
I cannot go wrong
Must be the music (must be the music)
Now baby, it's turning me on
