Band Name Origins:
- Yeah, we (heard of) all that women-sex-stuff, but here's the story behind that: The church in mediaeval times wanted to explain sexual dreams that way so the "victims" didn't have to be punished for sinning. That's it. Submitted by: The lucky one
- Brandon Boyd actually did refer to his nightly emissions of inspiration like a Succubus coming to extract his soul, and the name just sounded pretty good. Submitted by: Elle
Stupid Band Names:
- An incubus is a type of demon, which doesn't fit the musical style of this band, not in the slightest! Submitted by: GlamRockNinjaLord
- Why would you name your band after a greek mytholigic demon that preys on woman while the sleep to have sexual intercourse with them? That is just plain creepy. Submitted by: Travis
- They named themselves after the guy version of a succubus. Dirty minds. Submitted by: Mike

Dated Song Lyrics:

The Dated Lyrics: A decade ago, I never thought I would be
at 23, on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me. Why They're Dated: This song came out in 1999, Brandon Boyd shoud be in his mid-30's now. Too bad this was one of they're biggest hits, they have to keep performing this song even though the lyrics are outdated.

Dirty Song Lyrics:
"Southern Girl"
The Dirty Lyrics: So come outside and walk with me
We'll try each other on to see if we fit and with our roots become a tree to shade what we make under it Why They're Dirty: It's blatantly obvious what they mean by "try each other on to see if we fit". By "with our roots become a tree" they mean having sex and becoming pregnant, so by shading "what we make under it" they mean babies. So yeah, it's for sure about not just making love, but procreating as well. Classy.

Head spinning as free as Dervish's whirl I came here expecting next to nothing So thank you for being "that" kind of girl. Why They're Dirty: Pink Tractor = Penis
