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.
Punk It Up
Infectious Grooves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Diba daba doba daba hey hey hey
Straight from another world another time another thought
We've come to save that beat to free the groove and watch you rot
Sweet feeling-can't stop it no! no! no!
We're gonna punk it up and funk it up!
Damn right we got the ways we got the means we got the feel
We've come to bust the grooves that everyone will want to steal
Sweet music-can't stop it no! no! no!
We're gonna punk it up and funkt it up!
And then the day will come when all the world will come to see
The knighting of the sound that's spreading infectiously
Sweet revenge-can't stop it no! no! no!
We're gonna punk it up and funk it up!
Well I'll punk you up and then I'll funk you up
Go cyco go cyco go cyco
Kick you with the beat kick you with the groove
Kick you in the butt now you're booty's on the move
Hit you with our feel hit you with our sound
Hit you with our zak how your booty shake around
Go cyco go cyco go cyco
Well I'll punk you up and I'll funk you up!
Punk it up funk it up we punk it up and funk it up
Jam it up and slam it up
Punk it up diba doba daba hey hey hey
Infectious Grooves blitzkrieged the house
In the opening verse of Infectious Grooves' "Punk It Up," the band makes it clear that they're "on the house." This could be interpreted as meaning they're at a venue and performing for free, or that they're the ones in charge and they're not going to be stopped. Throughout the song, the band speaks of a world separate from the mainstream where they're intent on "saving the beat to free the groove and watch you rot." This sentiment shows a rejection of the mainstream, and the desire to create something unique and different.
The band speaks of punking it up and funking it up, two genres that have traditionally been at odds with one another. Infectious Grooves seeks to break down those barriers and create something that can't be categorized easily. The lyrics speak of sweet music that can't be stopped, sweet feelings that are irresistible, and sweet revenge that will be achieved through their music. Ultimately, the band believes that one day the world will recognize the sound they're creating and it will spread "infectiously."
