Though Muir's sense of humor was often obvious with Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves often brought out a goofier type of humor: their albums contain comedy skits by a reptilian lover named Sarsippius.
The band can be seen (and heard) performing as the prom band in the 1992 Pauly Shore film Encino Man.
In a recent interview, Muir reported that the Infectious Grooves are recording new material.

Infectious Grooves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lookin' for a little bit Heaven
Didn't think you'd make it (4x)
Didn't think you'd make it - from where there's no
Second chance when you slip
Didn't think you'd make it - to get away most just dip
Light and trip
Didn't think you'd make it - you gotta get away or
So happy that you made it - they called us stupid but
We never got caught
So we're looking for a little Heaven. When we're livin'
In a little Hell
Didn't think you'd make it (2x)
Didn't think you'd make it - it's so hard to make it
When they want you to fail
Didn't think you'd make it
Not all the old Hommies are dead, some are in jail
Didn't think you'd make it - they already reserved us
A cell
So happy that you make it - but we found a little
Heaven in a place like Hell
Where you find a place like Heaven. When you live in
A place like Hell?
Just lookin' for a little bit of Heaven. Yea but this is a
Place like Hell
Trying to find a little bit of Heaven in a place like Hell
Lookin' for a little bit of Heaven - I'm lookin' for a little
Bit of Heaven
Lookin' for a little bit of Heaven. Heaven

The Infectious Grooves song "Made It" is about the struggle to find happiness and contentment in a world that can sometimes seem like Hell. The lyrics express the idea that it's difficult to overcome obstacles and take control of one's own life, but that it's worth it to try. The line "Looking for a little bit of Heaven" suggests that even in the midst of darkness, it's possible to find moments of joy and peace.
The song speaks to the experience of those who may feel like they've been dealt a difficult hand in life, but who refuse to be defeated. The lyrics acknowledge the reality of hardship and the possibility of failure, but they also celebrate the resilience of the human spirit.
The music of "Made It" combines elements of funk, metal, and punk rock. The guitars have a heavy, distorted sound, and the rhythm section drives the beat forward with a fast tempo. Mike Muir's vocals are aggressive and soulful, punctuating the lyrics with raw emotion.
