In Search of... (N.E.R.D album)
In Search of... is the debut studio album by American band N.E.R.D. The group originally released the album on August 6, 2001 in Europe, where Kelis' Wanderland—produced by The Neptunes, consisting of N.E.R.D members Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo—was better received. Similarly to Kelis' early work, the original version of In Search of... juxtaposes hip hop and rock influences and styles. The album is named after the TV series In Search of..., hosted by Leonard Nimoy.
On March 12, 2002, In Search of... was re-released worldwide, with the largely electronic production backing of the album replaced by live backing provided by 1960s-style power pop band Spymob, giving the new version of the album a more rock-oriented sound. The skits and the intro from the original album were also dropped, significantly shortening the play length.
2001 release
The 2001 version of In Search of..., also known as the "electronic version", features prominent digital-based production, including drum machines and synthesizers, as the backing tracks, with a sound more typical of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo's production work as The Neptunes.

Tape You
by: N.E.R.D.Babe
For what I'm about to ask
Don't be ashamed
I just love you girl
Babe
As time will surely pass
Love shows it flame
In my fuck you world
Relax girl
Sip some of my slurpee
You don't have to lie to me
It's fly to me
And this way
You can have your privacy
And at the same time I can see
Look
I just want to tape you
All night
Yeah
Babe, please don't let this make you think my love has swayed
No way ok
Baby girl
This is not her idea
It's mine single handedly
It's just my fantasy
There's only one and when you're done
It's ours just for fun
And then please give me some
Listen we'll call her gold and you'll be platinum
I just want to see you come (out)
Look
I just want to tape you
All night
Yeah
Nah baby don't worry about your makeup
I promise I won't be jealous and break up
Not to patronize and sound fake but
If this is a dream I don't want to wake up
Turn on the purple light
Begin flashing
By removing your fashion
And start tongue lashing
Now girl kiss her boobs
And you kiss her boobs too
An let your finger dash in
Lights, camera, action
Look
I just want to tape you
All night
