early Incubus is great. I think they should separate the two: a concert of new Incubus (Make Yourself onwards) and a concert of old Incubus (SCIENCE backwards)

Well i like both incubus' equally. Old incubus' has the funk and the funny songs...to suit their age (15-19) the new incubus are more mature and write about profound things. their too old to write about people sitting on anthills?! lol

It sickens me that you're too closed-minded to like it all. Sink beneath the line here in my stellar pardon of burstings...Sheesh. If I had a dime for everytime you walked away from Incubus.

It's funny that a lot of people think that this song is about oral sex, but it's really just about a girl that sat on an anthill without undies... lol Old Incubus is great. It's just too bad they've changed irreversably.

Its about a girl, Brandon once knew in school. And he is actually singin about how he acted, and how it seems in his eyes. Actually the point of this song is, dont sink beneath the oposite things that are for you....

haha, I love this song. In fact I love all the phases of incubus, they change every album - makes it more interesting to listen to.

i agree with ^^^ but i think they became overproduced later in their carreer. fungus amongus is just so...pure. their true talent only fully comes out in fungus amongus (in my opinion)
