In the video, it's Hitler. But I can't help but to think that this song could be geared toward good ol' Dubya Bush? I anticipate to see Incubus' political edge on this album. Hopefully I'm right. added: 01/22/2004, 04:58 AM

ShakytheMoil

It's about George W. Bush. His Christianity fix, "Are we your appendages" is referring to his war on terror. Just as fake as the war on drugs, and guaranteed to be just as wasteful in the end. Americans are losing their lives for his personal vendetta. added: 02/04/2004, 02:36 AM

melbarocks

This is an awesomely political song...Its a great way to start of the CD. I was a little nervous about hearing Ben butcher Dirks original masterpiece, but I, a VERY avid Incubus fan, love it. added: 02/05/2004, 12:23 AM

you political people should find a better band with real political lyrics added: 02/05/2004, 12:09 PM

its awesome! added: 03/05/2004, 05:59 PM

Mr. Misanthropy

You are ALL idiots. Yeesh. The song has NOTHING to do with Jesus or Elvis; it's a metaphor. And Elvis wasn't inspirational; he died on his crapper of a drug overdose. But, if that's inspiration, maybe you should really rethink your life. That is all. added: 03/07/2004, 07:06 PM

The Elvis metaphor was meant to mean you're no king... I'm not a big fan of Elvis but he is respectable in his work... PS Charlie Murphy! What did the five fingers say to the face? added: 03/15/2004, 03:52 PM

I can't stand this band, at all; this song is no exception. . .absolute boredom. I love the way bands try and get political, only when it seems cool to do so. Get some of your own ideas, instead of stealing other people's. added: 03/23/2004, 06:19 PM

Awsome song! Finally some great stuff from Incubus. This is their best song for sure. It's played on the radio and MTV for more then tenthousand times but it still rocks! added: 04/15/2004, 02:58 AM

jonathandark7

Wondering -- why the worldwide phenomenon of Rick James made its way into a song discussion board, having never seen the show, I can say its really annoying hearing 1 out of 3 people say that at least once in a conversation... BTW this song is great. added: 04/15/2004, 10:23 AM

KriQt

This song has to make the list of the top 10 most controversial songs of all time, which is why mtv can't play it til late at night and which is why no one else really plays it on the radio anymore. But that one little factor makes this song great, add everything else about the song to the equation and one could say it's almost standard setting for future political artists added: 04/27/2004, 12:41 AM

Poopstick Ninja

This song or video is nothing close to controversial. The only controversy is how people think it's good. added: 05/02/2004, 11:38 PM

Creeping Death

I don't fucking care if this is controversial or not. If you ask me it's isn't controversial at all but it just is a great song by Incubus! Never heard a better song by them! added: 05/03/2004, 09:28 AM

Who cares if Elvis is mentioned in the song? Does that automatically make it bad? Some people are just...stupid. Obviously you miss the point behind the song. added: 06/03/2004, 12:58 PM

Cap10Bob

I think you all try to point fingers way too much. Don't jump to so many conclusions on what you think the song means. It's obviously the interpretive masterpiece of a Mr. Brandon Boyd, thus he knows what he's singing about. Try asking him to see what it means before you make any accusations so that you actually know what you're talking about when you slam something. added: 07/16/2004, 08:10 PM

xplosion903

For those of you who don't know, this song is talking about Bush. A megalomaniac is someone who is obsessed with big issues and stuff. This song is talking about being against Bush. I can't make this any clearer. added: 08/02/2004, 01:53 PM

ANGELSbb173

shut up xplosion. im sick of everyone dissing bush, i think he is a great strong leader, that will be here til' 2008.anyways, verygood kickoff, and good comeback cd for incubus after the sorrymorning view one. added: 08/06/2004, 02:16 AM

yeah, the ten dumbest people would include u cobain.yeah, its also too bad your not american. hahaha. VOTE BUSH added: 08/17/2004, 10:04 PM

Jochem

Fuck you ANGELSbb173 Bush really is dumb. He didn't even knew the name of the president from India and India belongs to the biggest country's in the world. Btw i glad i'm not a american because all they say is that their freedom is so important. In the mean while the is much more censurship in The US then in the netherlands. The Netherlands Rule!!! added: 08/19/2004, 08:45 AM

i love how Poopstick has six comments on this song yet none of them are even remotely relevant. anyways. this is a great opener to a great album although it doesn't really set you up for the rest of it. in fact, this is the only straight-forward rocker on the whole thing. either way it's a good way to start it all off. added: 08/30/2004, 02:25 AM

Jochem

The Netherlands won 21 medals. But The Us has got 20 times the population so if the populations were equal, the netherlands had about 400 medals. HAHAHAHA. Btw A lot of people give a shit about my country because we can drink if were 16! And smoke weed standing next to a cop because it's legal. Netherlands Rule! added: 08/31/2004, 10:38 AM

Jochem

Ok Ok maybe your country may be good on fighting war. But i think the are overeacting with the wars. They actually attacked Irac for no particular reason. First is was because of the cemical weapons. They didn't excist so you say it was for freedom. And now your people has brough Chaos and terror in their country! And your soldiers even made fotos of torturing the people of Irac. added: 09/01/2004, 05:46 AM

Sadly, No

Since when has everything Poopstick says been relevant? 9 times out of 10 (that could be pushing it) what he says makes sense. INcubus is alright, but this song stinks and so does Vash. (like dogshit mixed with human urine mixed with sweaty vagina.) added: 09/03/2004, 06:48 PM

dr_watsyn

you people are nuts....this song is great and the whole album is great....sure, just because it doesn't sound like 'drive' or 'morning view' doesn't mean it's not great....everyone of their albums has it's own sound and vibe to it, you can't compare it to previous works, you have to take it as a stand-alone piece of work....a great piece it is peace added: 11/17/2004, 11:54 AM

zerospace_13

personally, i think the last good album incubus released was S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Make Yourself has some good songs on it, but overall, S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is one of their best... along with Enjoy Incubus and Fungus Amongus... also, if you want to hear a good version of "Megalomanic" check out KMFDM's version... badass song... added: 11/20/2004, 04:19 PM

Big D

KMFDM's "Megalomaniac" is indeed a badass song. As for Incubus' "Megalomaniac" (I can care less if I already have a comment on this song or not), it's alright. added: 11/22/2004, 05:09 PM
