Tune in but Tune out

Phrase: When you, someone else, or even a group of people listen to a conversation (most often it's an argument or fight) between others to get all the juicy details, but don't want those who are having the conversation to know that you're listening to them, tell your fellow listeners to do this. Its primary use is to prevent getting yourself or others involved in the confrontation, and allows you to listen for the details.

Guy 1: Hey, the boss and the new guy are having an argument! Sounds like he won't be here much longer!

Guy 2: Tune in but Tune out, man! Get the details but don't get involved!

"music on hold"-grade tune

Refers to a somewhat-"tame"/boring and/or repetitive musical composition that is "okay", but definitely nothing special or "memorable" --- it would merely be something that you might wanna half-listen to while waiting for someone to pick up/get back to you on the phone, be serenaded with over a store's PA system while shopping, or have for soothing your impatience when riding a slow elevator.

The NYC Greyhound station plays light-classical music over the ceiling-speakers to help its patrons to while away the long boring hours during bus-layovers; I appreciate it that they don't simply toss "music on hold"-grade tunes at you for extended periods.

Valley of the Tunes

The Sonoma Valley, in northern California, is sometimes called the Valley of the Moon. This is derived from its slightly crescent shape. Because the valley is home to a very lively music scene, the area is also cleverly called the Valley of the Tunes.

Dude, I'll be in Sonoma; we have a gig in the Valley of the Tunes this Saturday.

tune the meat whistle

While sucking a dick, you place three fingers on top of the shaft and tap alternately like your playing a flute

This chick was giving me head and tapping her fingers. I exclaimed, you really know how to tune the meat whistle

Tune

Tune is an adorable person who likes to have fun once in a while, but probably not too much fun because maybe alot of it could cause them stress

Example 1.
"Hey tune wanna hang with us?"

"Sure but can you drop me off at home before 7"
