"Potholes in My Lawn" is the second single by hip hop group De La Soul, released in 1988 from their album 3 Feet High and Rising. The songs were mastered by record mixer and engineer Herb Powers Jr. The song samples "Magic Mountain" by Eric Burdon & War as well as the signature yodeling and jaw harp on Parliament's "Little Ole Country Boy" off 1970's Osmium.
The song was released in some territories as a double A-side with "Jenifa (Taught Me)".
The song is notable for being the first hip-hop song to be played on Mars, by NASA's Opportunity Rover in 2004.
