built 607 days ago
With sparked interest in the song, radio stations began playing the studio version of "Pardon Me." In response, Incubus made a video for the song and released a six song EP titled When Incubus Attacks (Vol. 1) on August 22 2000. The EP contained the acoustic version of "Pardon Me." In its first week, the EP sold nearly 40,000 copies, and scored #41 on the Billboard Album Charts. To start off 2000, the band headed out on Tour with System of a Down, and Mr. Bungle until March, at which point they embarked on a headline tour in clubs until April.

This is a disturbing story, to say the least, and describes a classic case of an incubus attack. In paranormal lore, an incubus is a spirit or demon that attacks a woman, usually while she lies in bed, seeking sexual intercourse. A man ... can come under such an attack, and in this case the spirit is known as a succubus. Molestation from incubi and succubi have been reported at least since the middle ages. In a related phenomenon, known as “old hag syndrome,” the victim feels the presence of some entity lying heavily on top of him/her, making breathing difficult, and it is sometimes even accompanied by feelings of strangulation, but without the sexual component of the incubus. William Shakespeare mentions this phenomenon in Act 1, Scene 4 of Romeo and Juliet:

Poor helpless Lucy is suffering nightly attacks from the Incubus, a dream demon that ravages women in their sleep. Having enough of this jackassery, Lucy decides to make something of herself, so she gussies up and heads down to the saloon where she applies for a job as the establishment’s singing and dancing entertainment. The next evening, as she prepares for her debut performance, Lucy is bummed to find that co-billed with her is...The Incubus. And so it is in front of a crowd of hooting and hollering cowboys that the two go head up with one another with a little song and dance competition.

There are a number of variations on the incubus theme around the world. The alp of Teutonic or German folklore is one of the better known. In Zanzibar, Popo Bawa primarily attacks men and generally behind closed doors.[13] El Trauco, according to the traditional mythology of the Chiloé Province of Chile, is a hideous deformed dwarf who lulls nubile young women and seduces them. El Trauco is said to be responsible for unwanted pregnancies, especially in unmarried women.[14] In Hungary, a lidérc can be a Satanic lover that flies at night and appears as a fiery light (an ignis fatuus or will o' the wisp) or, in its more benign form as a featherless chicken.[15]
