Incubus is a five-man alternative rock band formed in 1991, based in Calabasas, California. Members include Brandon Boyd (vocals and percussion), Mike Einziger (guitar), Ben Kenney (bass), Jose Pasillas II (drums) and DJ Chris Kilmore (turntables). Former members of the band include Gavin Koppel (a.k.a. DJ Lyfe) (turntables) and Alex Katunich (a.k.a. Dirk Lance) (bass). The band's name may seem a peculiar choice to fans, as an incubus is a type of demon that, in mythological lore, comes in the night and has sex with women while they are sleeping; it seduces them in their dreams The story behind the name is that the band needed to think of a name hours before their first show and, after a few failed choices, Mike looked in a dictionary and chose "Incubus" almost at random. Mike says that the name was chosen because it sounded silly; Brandon holds that it was chosen because they were teenagers and the definition had the word "sex" in it. "We really didn't want to rape women in their sleep. But, we were fifteen and it seemed harmless to us then, and we never changed it," says the band.
Incubus has received both critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching multi-platinum sales, as well as releasing several successful singles. The band earned mainstream recognition with the release of their 1999 album Make Yourself. In 2001, Incubus became even more successful with the single "Drive" and their follow-up album Morning View. Their sixth studio album, Light Grenades, debuted at No. 1 in 2006 and has received Gold certification in the U.S. Incubus released their first greatest hits album Monuments and Melodies in June 2009, accompanied by a tour of the United States, Japan and Canada. The band's most recent album, 8, was released on April 21st, 2017.
2. A death/thrash metal band from Metairie, Louisiana. The band was made up of Francis Howard (guitar/vocals), Moyses Howard (drums), Andre Luiz (bass), and Luiz Carlos (guitar). The two Howard brothers are actually from Brazil, and immigrated to Louisiana. This Incubus has released one demo, and two albums, with one album being remastered and re-released with a different track listing. This band has changed their name to Opprobrium.
3. A death/thrash metal band from Georgia who released one demo in 1987. The drummer, Mike Browning, went on to Morbid Angel and later Nocturnus fame.

Make Out Party
Incubus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But not just on your lips, no
Tips of your fingers and every intersection
Start again then at your pinky toe
I know you know
Can you tell I miss you
From my cadence and tempo
Is a point we should be aiming for
Could we make up
Could we make out
Could we make up
Could we make out
I get high every time
I get the taste of you on my tongue
And I know you're one to hold on to
Oh, a deep sigh everytime
I get a hint of you in my mind
'Cause I know you won't be held onto
Babe, I've got a weakness
For the backs of your knees, your
Honey spilt over, and now I am an army of ants
And we're all thinkin' the same thought
Let's get to work
Let me introduce you to my slippery fingers
Glistening and dangerous I'll use them all in ways
That would make you giggle at my funeral
Whoaah, I get high every time
I get the taste of you on my tongue
And I know you're one to hold on to
Oh, a deep sigh every time
I get a hint of you in my mind
'Cause I know you won't be held onto
Could we make up
Could we make out
Could we make up
Could we make out
(Could we make up), can you tell I miss you
From my cadence and tempo
Lips are a trigger, and maybe this connection
Is a point we should be aiming for
(Could we make up), can you tell I miss you
From my cadence and tempo
Lips are a trigger, and maybe this connection
Is a point we should be aiming for
The lyrics of "Make Out Party" by Incubus seem to be about a yearning for physical intimacy with somebody. The singer starts off by saying that he wants to kiss the subject of the song not just on the lips, but on every intersection of their bodies. He then goes on to express his desire for them, and his acknowledgement of the fact that they know. The singer then goes on to say that kissing her is like a drug, a feeling that he can't get enough of. He knows that she won't last, but he craves her nonetheless. He also mentions that he has a weakness for the backs of her knees, and how everything about her is so captivating.
The chorus repeats the singer's desire to be with the subject of the song, both making up and making out with them. The repetition of this line throughout the song emphasizes the singer's intense longing. In the second verse, the singer describes how he wants to use his "slippery fingers" to pleasure the subject of the song, and how he knows what would make her giggle. The use of an army of ants in this description, though perhaps a bit unconventional, implies that he wants her to feel that much pleasure.
Overall, Make Out Party is a song about a deep, yearning desire for physical intimacy with somebody, despite knowing that it won't last forever. It's a song about pleasure and craving, and how we desire something even if we know it's not good for us.

Girl I wanna kiss you
I want to be intimate with you
But not just on your lips, no
I want to explore your entire body
Tips of your fingers and every intersection
I want to kiss you everywhere, especially on your fingers
Start again then at your pinky toe
I want to start at the bottom and kiss all the way up to the top
I know you know
I know you understand what I want
Can you tell I miss you
My desire for you is evident
From my cadence and tempo
The way I'm speaking to you is giving away my feelings
Lips are a trigger, and maybe this connection
Our kissing is setting off strong emotions and maybe we should explore this deeper
Is a point we should be aiming for
We should be working towards a physical and emotional connection
Could we make up
Can we reconcile?
Could we make out
Can we be intimate?
I get high every time
Being with you makes me feel euphoric
I get the taste of you on my tongue
I can still taste you and I want more
And I know you're one to hold on to
I know you're someone worth keeping
Oh, a deep sigh every time
I feel a strong longing for you
I get a hint of you in my mind
You're always on my mind
Cause I know you won't be held onto
But I know that I can't hold onto you forever
Babe, I've got a weakness
You have a physical hold on me
For the backs of your knees, your
I have a fetish for the backs of your knees
Honey spilt over, and now I am an army of ants
My passion for you is too much to handle and I feel like I'm losing control
And we're all thinkin' the same thought
My lust for you is shared by every part of me
Let's get to work
Let's indulge in our desires
Let me introduce you to my slippery fingers
I want to use my fingers in a seductive manner
Glistening and dangerous I'll use them all in ways
My fingers are lubricated and I will use them in risky ways
That would make you giggle at my funeral
I want to pleasure you to the point of laughter and euphoria

Nothing else sounds like this. It's that cool-weird thing Incubus always surprises & refreshes people with. Love this track.
Dolores Day
i'm probably one of the only fans that feel this way, but i don't think i've ever disliked any direction this band has taken with their music. jazzy shit? pop shit? hard or chill sound? i have enjoyed like every album they've put out and i hope they continue to keep doing their thing.
tessa freeman
Definitely not alone. Everything they touch is brilliant in different ways.
Cody Allen
Incubus definitely has the Midas Touch, I agree 100%! They're my favorite band on this whole damn planet
mgc2k11

Gelfling Mama
Same here. Even if I don’t like it at first (like this one) it inevitably gets stuck in my head.
Ismael Specht Intuition
BEST SONG EVER! Intruments, voice, lyrics ... everything is amazing!
Tommy Jones
I love the dirty guitar! Mike rules! Another great song from Incubus. They continue to amaze. \m/

How any existing Incubus fans don't like their new stuff is beyond me. It's right in line with the quality of their old stuff. It's weird, it has odd time signatures, it has unique melodies, and it's catchy as hell. Love it. Reminds me a lot of the Crow Left of The Murder album with its vibe.
Consuelo Cabello
la mejor canción que he escuchado de ellos en años! Incubus está volviendo con lo salvaje y lo bueno ! <3<3<3<3
