2. Not only this Smooth Jazz band shares same band name, they have a song called "Millenium"(2006) that is exactly same title (intentionally misspelled) as the other Incognito's (Jazz Funk) song on their album "100° and Rising"(1995), plus the logo resembles in font. The title "Every Day"(2006) on the album Street Smarts exactly alike in titles (when read) with the other Incognito's famous tune "Everyday"(1995). They are often tagged totec radio. Also mis-tagged by fans as bluey where there's no link to Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick himself. r00ts & t4lk1n l0ud tags also used, that could mislead fans to the Bluey's famous tunes like "Roots" & "Talkin' Loud".

Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take your troubles make them disappear
When you let your soul come shinin' through
Your heart is pure your vision ever clear
It's clearly been written in the book of life
It's up to you and me to make the change
For ecology and poverty, equality
Light shines, where the happy people
All rise, and gather together as one
You and I control the way we live
Take something old and make it something new
Build ourselves a future paradise
And bring our aspirations into view
It's clearly written in the book of life
From first we love and really learn to care
Like ripples upon the water reaching everywhere
Suddenly our souls come shinin' through
Our heart is pure the vision ever clear
It's written in the book of life, if we want to change
We should be the change
For ecology and poverty, equality
We can do it
