Damn, this situation's new to me, why?
I see a head afraid to be himself,
I bet he'd to have a little
Encouragement from the opposite,
Come that side of the floor, Yes!

Egg him along, make him feel at ease with himself,
Steal his clothes, leave him his shoes,
Let's get this marmaduke naked!
Makehim feel at ease,
Let's get this maraduke naked
So lose your head and go to pieces

Don't you make fun of me
Don't you make fun of me!
I'm gonna be, gonna be,
I'm gonna be a hot dancer!
Oh, now that the basics are down,
Converse amongst yourselves.

But, keep an eye out for the next complication.
In other words,
Grab the next motherfucker marmaduke,
Who refuses to submit to these pelvic ostentations.
I can't wait until the syllables bend.
Let's get this marmaduke naked,
Let's get this marmaduke naked
So lose your head and go to pieces!

Don't you make fun of me
Don't you make fun of me!
I'm gonna be,
Gonna be,
I'm gonna be a hot dancer!

    General Comment:ha i actually think this song has a really sarcastic tone
    maybe, like making fun of people who follow the crowd and submit to peer pressure

    General Comment:I think this song is talking about a stereotypical Junior High dance.

    I bet he'd to have a little
    encouragement from the opposite,
    come that side of the floor...Yes!
    Egg him along, make him feel at ease with himself,
    steal his clothes, leave him his shoes,
    let's get this marmaduke naked!

    "come to that side of the floor" is like one of the guys is finally going over to the girls side of the floor, and they are PUMPED! all the guys are making fun of him and chanting at him, but he is saying that he is going to be a hot dancer...the pelvic ostentations is talking about trying to impress people will his moves of his pelvic region i guess

    Hilikmi said that marmaduke means leader of the seas in cletic, so that means that this kid is like the leader, the first one to go to the girls side of the gym

    General Comment:"how much different is it harry manback ive got both cds
    and i havent noticed it "

    Listen to them on headphones or earphones, if you haven't already. You can notice a big difference in sound quality. Fungus Amongus was the CD they wrote and released independently, because no one would sign them at the time. Everything they used in the CD was their stuff, they didn't have anyone helping them create different sounds and mixing the CD, unless they wanted to hire someone, but they were highschool kids at the time, and all of em had jobs except Brandon, so I doubt they could hire someone to do something like that. The version on Enjoy Incubus has a more professional sound to it.

    General Comment:marmaduke is just a blokes name - its celtic and means leader of the seas, but its probably got some local/playground meaning that incubus might have called each other.
