"Pardon Me" is a song by American
alternative rock band
Incubus from their 1999 album
Make Yourself. It was the first Incubus song to receive a considerable amount of radio airplay, reaching #3 on the
Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.The song describes a state of confusion, with allusions to
spontaneous combustion. Lead singer
Brandon Boyd says he was inspired to write the song after making a connection between images of spontaneous combustion in a magazine and "some turmoil in [his] life, both good and bad".Musically, the song combines fast-paced, ambient verses with prominent DJ scratching and a hard-rocking mid-tempo chorus. However, the acoustic version of the song is also well-regarded by fans, and helped the song become a radio hit. Initial radio reception was lukewarm, so Boyd and guitarist
Mike Einziger decided to perform the song acoustically at several radio stations that had been playing the song, including
KROQ, and this acoustic version grabbed the attention of radio programmers and listeners. An acoustic recording of the song was released on the
When Incubus Attacks Volume 1 EP.
