"Anna Molly" is the lead single from Incubus's sixth album, Light Grenades. The single was released September 20, 2006, on the Sony Music Store almost a month before its scheduled release. However, it was soon withdrawn for unknown reasons.
The song debuted at #19 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and reached the #1 spot after 10 weeks on the chart. It stayed at the top for 5 weeks.
The song makes use of a Marxophone, a type of fretless zither. The song's title is a play on the word "anomaly", and a Billboard article says the song describes "a woman who may or may not exist in real life"[citation needed]. There is an acoustic version that is also available through iTunes.
The song is included in the video games Guitar Hero: On Tour the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii edition of Shaun White Snowboarding as well as the documentary Warren Miller's Dynasty.
