7. A Certain Shade of Green

[majofly16]

Man, can't help but bang my head every time I hear this bad ass song...INCUBUS ROCKS

[CrystalCassiopea]

2012.

[iCanMakeComents]

444 people stood around til 2012 AD

[ishdakeebz]

Great song, you failed on the lyrics though...

[TheShadowSpot]

Incubus recently play where i live(Thailand) and this was the encore song that they played. I just CANT STOP listening to it!

[PeachesAndSkeet]

So apparently anyone mentioning 2012 gets thumbs, huh. Watch me now..... 2012, 2012, 2012, 2012, 2012, 2012..... I'll have thumbs poppin' out my a-hole.

[Numonkei]

American Future Fund...wonder where their money comes from. an anti-Obama ad before an Incubus commercial, made anonymously possible via monied and right-wing organizations. Thanks, America, you are a pretty shitty excuse for a corporate state. Best move.

[jonbotskatergamer]

Dude, it's "street signs point the way" Just so you know.

[gsk624777]

New version is better

[ahart117]

@gsk624777 this version is impossible to improve on...PERIOD!!!

[PrivateRyanJipped]

Oh shit. It's 2012 AD

[XxDoctorDrumsxX]

The second the ball dropped on New Year, i blasted this on loud speakers. Me and my friends were going insane in the membrane!

[naliligoRinangMetal]

aww brandon marry me!

[dreammaker182]

2012 AD is finally here! What are you waiting for???

[somotastic21]

@dreammaker182 Um Um Um. I am the all seeing eye 

[clairepod1]

@dreammaker182 It seemed like such a long time ago, back in 98! I feel old now. But we're still waiting!!!!

[neopato]

aw shit it's 2012 better stop procrastinating

[Comotose13]

403 people only need one shade of green :P

[somotastic21]

Can someone please tell me does Incubus believe in the whole 2012 thing? This song came out in 97 which makes it even more interesting that they were talking about 2012 back then? Does anyone know about this? Is 2012 a year which people have something special planned for me? I do not like surprises!

[JuggaloFaygoDrinker]

@somotastic21

Yes. Something very special will happen to you on Jan. 1, 2012. You will be raped by a cactus.

[somotastic21]

@JuggaloFaygoDrinker Jan 1, 2012 came and went and I was not raped by a cactus. You're no different than those christian rapture preachers it seems. Tisk Tisk....smh

[JuggaloFaygoDrinker]

@somotastic21 While you're syh you can smd.

[somotastic21]

@JuggaloFaygoDrinker I'd prefer not to, but I can tell you really want that

[DoctorBlissphd]

This is such a good album. Incubus fucking sucks now. Everything after Make Yourself gets worse and worse.

[goldcrayon2]

@DoctorBlissphd True. But Incubus still kicks ass.

[ss42710]

Ok, just a thought, when they say "Are you just gonna stand around til 2012?" I don't think they made a mistake. I think they are referring to the hype about the Mayan calendar, and the world suppossedly ending.

[TheCamerongates]

@ss42710 Yeah, but nobody made a big deal about that until around '08. I think they just thought it sounded good.

[GiovanaHouri]

I feel a connection between this and the song "if not now, when?"....am i crazy? I mean..."what are you waiting for?" and then "if not now, when will I?". I think they both have the same message, which is, basically, stop procrastinating and make a choice, live your life

[ANeonTiger]

@GiovanaHouri I like your theory. "If Not Now, When?" was of course released this year, the last year before 2012. "You gonna stand around til 2012 A.D.?" he first asked and it's now 2011, so if not now, when?

[DoctorBlissphd]

@ANeonTiger

Please reserve the term theory for a rigorously tested, scientific explaination with a large body of corroborating evidence. No offense, but christian fundamentalists like to attack science, no pun intended, with the slogan: "It's just a theory". Hypothesis is the word you were looking for. I hope this doesn't seem nit-picky, that's not my intent. Thumbs up on your comment otherwise.

[ANeonTiger]

@DoctorBlissphd Why would I be offended? I'm not Christian. I used the word "theory" properly. "Hypothesis" doesn't work as well in this context. Don't let people ruin a word for you.

[GiovanaHouri]

@ANeonTiger Yes, i think it makes sense!

[GiovanaHouri]

@GiovanaHouri And it's so cool that they are completely distinct types of music, but amazing in their own way.

[PinkSkiiTtLeZzYoanNa]

@GiovanaHouri Brandon Boyd is a very spiritual guy. By these songs he means "what are you waiting for, make up your mind whether you want to evolve spiritually or not" he means that people are cowards and they choose to turn a blind eye instead of trying to get beyond the illusion of our world. people wait and think someone is going to show them the truth one day, but the truth can only be found by yourself. no one is going to do it for you, you have to decide to change and gain knowledge.

[MauroDaffonchio]

best album here, hands down

[dogpizza337]

and the other is a certain shade of deaf.

[POPPINNADES1]

I feel like my balls have been uppercutted into my throat!

[1997bontragerb1]

@POPPINNADES1 HAHAHAHA

[Berad9104]

Real music here, no autotune,no whistling, and Brandon sounds like this live, unlike most people. LONG LIVE INCUBUS!

[The1Artistry1]

honestly this band is amazing and they very good live but this one song is just too amazing on record to be compared with any live version of the song.

[Shukuchi22]

300 likes from the 300 Spartans xD

[hrking25sf]

my big ass dick brought me here

[gsk624777]

Acoustic version is 100 times better

[gsk624777]

@The1Artistry1 That is true Morning View is

[chipsahoy303]

@The1Artistry1 Totally agree!!! I'm a huge fan!!! I actually don't have a favorite album by them. I like all of them! ;D

[Rayvenlunatic]

"What if I had a mustard-drenched cucumeber tied to my leg and I did not want to get my pants dirty?"

[TheKidlink64]

if this song was a cookie and your favorite kind of cookie is chocolate chip, this song would be a chocolate chip cookie :)

[MsChristineLink]

Thank you so much for uploading this album and the lyrics!! Absolutely the best Incubus album.... love them!!!!

[Jeddypie]

Fucking adverts.... just let em listen to incubus...

[SkaMasta097]

I disagree. The acoustic version sounds like cheesy lounge pop/jazz. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but nothing beats the original.

[Statto53]

Why compare the acoustic with this one? They're totally different styles, I love 'm both just as much. :)))

[bbbgotmyb]

acoustic is better

[alternative415]

@bbbgotmyb better my ass!!........it's the pussy version of this song!

[moshtastic1993]

@bbbgotmyb -whipped-

No way. It doesn't even compare to this. This makes me want to fuck shit up!

[hznappy]

I swear sometimes I think people dislike videos just cuz the god damn button is there. one of the best albums ever!!!

[dogshittaco24]

On "All signs around say move ahead", he channels Billie Joe Armstrong for a split second. ONLY for a second, though. IMO, Brandon is a MUCH better, more melodic singer.

[quonelly]

acoustic version is 10x better

[incubitta]

uno de los mejores almbumes!

[Brollyhero99TOP10]

If this album isn't satisfying, then I don't know what is...

[kymikko]

killer album!! i do have to say this is one of my favorite songs next to prevelige and the whole make yourself album haha

[1997bontragerb1]

Thumbs Up If Listening to this in 2012

[NeonGreenCarl]

@1997bontragerb1 Pssh im listening to this in 2038

[TheStu377480]

@1997bontragerb1 i dont see why this is 28 thimbs its not even 2012 yet retards

[1997bontragerb1]

@TheStu377480 I dont know either

[jamesedwardtheobald]

@TheStu377480 time travelers

[jamesedwardtheobald]

@TheStu377480 oh, guess if they were timetravelers they would still be in 2011, they're just used to the 'old date', kinda like when you write the date wrong after the year changes, ya know?

[TheStu377480]

@jamesedwardtheobald yueah true but its still 2011 the lyrics prolly messed them up

[jamesedwardtheobald]

@1997bontragerb1 28 people are time travelers from the future, after the Mayan prophesied apocalypse

[yahirtomlinson]

@1997bontragerb1 OMG!!! Time Travelers

[TheDylan10123]

@1997bontragerb1 Of course we are, nub

[CraftyInstigator]

@1997bontragerb1 67 people are time travelers. I have to wait another 2 weeks before giving this a thumbs up.

[LilAxelSteel]

@1997bontragerb1 stop. those comments are cliche and redudant

[1997bontragerb1]

@LilAxelSteel Its not what 71 people think...

[LilAxelSteel]

@1997bontragerb1

[somotastic21]

@1997bontragerb1 it's not 2012 yet

[strolatamite]

2012 Is on the horizon! next year! let's hope were all here!

[machchunk]

This would be so much better and efficient without the record scratches and nu-metal yelping. The lyrics are really good

[TheBaafarang]

@CommunistNihilist I HAVE to let it be known that the line should say..

The time has PAST for hand-me-downs, choose anew, please evolve, take flight.

Only cos it is probably one of the best lines in this tune. Thank you so very much for this upload tho dude.

[RXBannedit]

i remember listening to this in high school back in 97 and thinking 2012 was so far off... goddamn i'm old.

standing around til 2012 isn't very procrastinatory anymore...

[iamnotjulesg]

1 person is a certain shade of asshole

[TubbzTayloR]

@iamnotjulesg thats possibly the best comment ever to grace youtube



[forceadeptjedi]

@iamnotjulesg yep

[Shyamalz]

@iamnotjulesg nicely said 

[Abracadabro73]

This kind of reminds me of The Scarlet Scourge - Held Hospice!

[ericelite910]

diggin this whole album right now...i forgot how much i like this song, especially right now, at this certain point and time. just saying

[slugbeats]

I would be fine with most of incubus's new music if it wasn't under the name incubus. This album, enjoy incubus, and fungus amongus is what incubus is to me. The other shit just doesn't feel right.

[MrDavidHarrison]

The Irony of the fact that I'm sat here listening to this while putting-off doing my university coursework is not lost on me...

[Azurey82]

Wow.. this is def taking me back to 97 and taking boones cruises (420in) with my hippy/punk/ rock/ metal heads listening to this whole tape(lol) over & over again! Those where the days .. so much fun with great memories and actual good songs/whole albums to jam out to!

[skullneck13]

the light grenades was there softest album

[wic213]

the only shade of green i wait on is the 8ths i smoke lol

[maidenofrohan]

Am I the only one who thinks A Crow Left of the Murder is equally as good as SCIENCE? Light Grenades is the poorest imo.

[mentalrectangle]

@maidenofrohan SCIENCE and Make Yourself tower over the rest of their work. Crow has its moments and I'd give it a distant third. I can't even listen to Light Grenades. I'm clearly not the band's target audience anymore.

[Shaded2787]

@mentalrectangle Incubus has no target audience. They just work miracles and we behold.

[Imlistenin09]

1 person doesn't like this shade of green

[BrookieeeMonsterrr]

This song certainly has hidden messages...Nice one! x3

[spooki1000]

@BrookieeeMonsterrr who knows mabey the rest will see them soon, almost time you know

[BrookieeeMonsterrr]

@spooki1000 Hopefully, then it wont be as much of a shock.

[msidemafia1]

1 person is colorblind and can't distinguish between different shades of green! jk i fuckin hate those comments. amazing song though

[Squelchandclap]

quality fucking song, shame they're so shite now and brandan boyd loves himself so much

[monstersball45]

@Squelchandclap and he gave up his never ending battle with those monstrosoties known as "shirts" hehe

[boyolashin2]

Thumbs up if your hair got shuddered after listening to this song

[LiliumCruorem]

So different than their remake of this for Monuments and Melodies. I dig both like insanely though.

[thebizkitman]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS

[alabonefy]

2:29

[alabonefy]

i love the cover art and the stache awesom

[Ansot4eva]

Incredibly good.

[diegoallimite10]

este incubus es el q va !!

[fadrigachris]

ive been meaning to ask this.. whos that guy with the epic stache on their album cover!?

[TheDigMeUp]

@fadrigachris That is Chuck, my friend

[sadielopez11]

science is by far there greatest album...if u dont know now u know

[SignMePlease1]

i like the acoustic version of this song better

[Sporkzeranza]

I just went from The Beatles to this :D this is more fun.

[Exphyxia]

@Sporkzeranza yay :D

[quertzoid]

He's signing about being impatient.

"Are you gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?

What are you waiting for

A certain shade of green? "

Meaning some dumbass isn't looking at the traffic light. You know the phrase "The light's not gonna get any greener, retard."

[Monolith787]

@quertzoid No, its the mayan long count calander, look it up

[nagahide13]

@quertzoid Yeah. Essentially. What are you waiting for? The end of the world?

[mrsloth7]

1:57

[TubaDudeNick]

To me, this song is about growing and smoking awesome herb. And if you procrastinate, you choose last. AKA SCHNICKELFRITZ!!!!

[shwabity]

@TubaDudeNick

uhh... i think you're looking for their Fungus Amongus album... haha

[iKatieCol]

i lovelovelove the beginning of this song xD best singer ever.

[Salger12]

I like the rawness of SCIENCE, it's just so fucking epic. Like the intro to this song is fucking magic

[austindanielsmusic]

Incubus lost their edge don'tcha think?

[dirty06maggot]

@austindanielsmusic kinda yeah. same with amsterdam and new york

[nakamine1713]

seriously...hope they make one more album like this before the end.

[iddtelyoubut]

@nakamine1713 Dont think so cuz they dont have their bass player

[MSIturnedmegay]

I've been tryin to find this song forever... didnt even know it was incubus... havent heard it in years.;.. its fuckin sick

[RuinofDarkness]

One of the best Incubus songs ever. Thanks for the upload :3!~

[sambam866]

wow im a dumbass!!i guess i read into things too much..i wished they played this song when i saw them live

[GrizeldaFitch]

they are an okay band i still say that make yourself is the best album this was a brutal song though really good

[tRPZy]

MY FAVOURITE INCUBUS SONG.. exept maybe Pardon me :/

[Tindall4words]

why does everybody hate on there newer stuff? i love this alot bettter, but, i never would have found it without there new shitt.

don't hate, congratulate.

[sambam866]

i think this song is about aliens....just my thought haha

[Tindall4words]

@sambam866 it's about his ex girlfriend that was afraid to commit, hence the waht are you waiting for? a certain shade of green. remember when you procrastonate you choose last.

[GrizeldaFitch]

@sambam866 your an idiot hahahahah

[DaBrokenBusofEVIL]

Incubus has had many sounds over the years, ALL OF THEM AMAZING!!!! I can't just say I love this song. Thats not enough. I feel like I should take it out to a romantic dinner and a walk in the park. Shout out to Spanky and the Crew!

[gdwhatup]

@JesusCristo2002 : no that's not Brandon. his name is Chuck. get to know him

[JesusCristo2002]

Good song. Just out of curiousity, is that Brandon Boyd's face on the cover of "S.C.I.E.N.C.E."?

[AaronChemical]

Good Song!

[rancor09]

I haven't listened to this album in years! Please tell me you have it up for uploading somewhere?

[SwedishBass]

Buy it! iTunes.

[mrfun4]

Gotta love the end... "what are u waiting for, what are u waiting for" :D

[mpampanis]

Fantastic song....

[tyrellcompton]

i dont get how they have this awesome version, than they have the relaxing elevator music like acoustic one after that. it's kinda funny, but they're both still awesome.

[broncos346]

It's talent dude, awesome i must say.

[TheADBellum]

what song?

[Iliketogodumb]

rip off? you can't get any more than incubus' tracks off science. go get hit by a bus.

[skywalk553]

haha "Let Chuck choose!"

[MistarPer]

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is their greatest album! So many great songs

[zunez0rz]

@MistarPer 100% pure talent. I like this stage of their evolution the most. 1995-1998 was their best run.

[NearbyHermit]

@MistarPer True, I just love albums made under heavy drug influence !

[kimbob5]

cn sum1 plz send me this its awesome

[hadkjfhkad]

why did they change into alternative from funky?

[mac6orion]

why did they change from alt to lovy dubby slightly more commercial?

but its all good?

ive my theories

[stroberg27]

this isnt alt their new stuff is alt this is rock alt-metal

[martybacardi]

haha stfu

[zip420]

he got a girlfriend, thats what happened

[monstersball45]

@zip420 My cousin lost 3 girlfriends, cuz hes in a band that sounds like an old school nu metal band, and each told him to change his style, it was too aggressive etc. and he told em fuck off, hes bringing nu metal back, I wish theyd get signed so the revolution would begin....

[zausS4L]

@zip420 you're blaming their change in style on brandon getting a hot gf? You sir are a twat.

[guilleg4]

@zip420 that's so true, have a girlfriend makes you GAY :@

[thewhoandcarlost]

pinche rola me gusta un chingo

[shemz202]

the turntables just sound great .....

it matches boyd's vocal...

is gavin koppel working the tur tables in this song??
